Safety and health in winter
Driving tips
During the winter months, when weather
conditions are adverse and place our road
safety at risk, FCC made several recom-
mendations and issued warnings so that
we can all adapt our vehicles and our way
of driving to inclement weather conditions.

FCC organised for the first time its Healthy
Christmas campaign which consisted of
a contest to receive ideas on healthy ha-
bits and tips during the Christmas holidays
and, thereby, launch the new year and the
“Healthy Community 2014” project.
Some of the ideas were:
•
Surprise everyone with an original,
healthy and light lunch or dinner.
•
Enjoy an active vacation.
•
Give the gift of vitality, health, and well-
being.
Some of our colleagues sent their propo-
sals, all very interesting, for putting into
practice once the holidays were over.
M. Antonio Carmona, from FCC Construc-
ción, tells us not to go to bed angry and to
try to solve the day’s problems especially

Marta Agudo, from FCC Ámbito, encou-
rages us to do something for the environ-
ment, to consume responsibly, and to re-

Alberto Terrón, from FCC Aqualia, proposes
the activity “the race of repentance” which
implies spending as much time as you did
enjoying a generous meal by doing some
physical activity to offset the binge eating.
Other advice and recommendations inclu-
ded happiness recipes (smiling and crea-
ting illusions); giving, sports and health;
purifying treatments; handmade gifts; ho-
memade desserts; keeping active; spen-
ding time with the family at the park or
shopping,; sharing some time; enjoying the
outdoors; and, spreading a healthy spirit.

Proper maintenance of the vehicle
is essential: control the levels of li-
quids (anti-freeze and refrigerant), oil,
