Wellness program
In view of the growing social and labour demand for creating not only
a safe but also responsible and healthy work environment, companies
and administrations are currently developing initiatives for implemen-
ting a true “health culture” within their companies and in the surroun-
dings where they operate. In this context, the corporate meeting was
held in Valladolid for the implementation and management of a healthy
company with the participation of FCC and other companies, inclu-
ding PPG, Michelin and Renault, that have shared their experiences,
difficulties encountered, achievements, and results the developing
their healthy company programs.
These meetings contribute to improving and optimising the programs
thanks to the exchange of good practices and experiences and crea-
ting a cooperation network among members sharing the same objec-
tive: developing a health culture in the work and social spheres.
Valladolid witnessed the work that is being carried out at different or-
ganizations to face the challenges of promoting the health of their em-
ployees from different perspectives:
a)
From the standpoint of wellness: with initiatives aimed at impro-
ving the indicators of productivity, turnover, sick leave, including
programs focused on sports, nutrition and life-work balance.
b)
From the perspective of occupational hazards: stressing safety
and hygiene at work and disease prevention, such as those, for
example, attributable to living a sedentary life and stress.
c)
From the health perspective: actions aimed at preventing and
improving the conditions in relation to diseases and factors such
as stress, smoking, alcoholism, obesity, cardiovascular diseases,
etc. These actions usually include programs for the families as
well as for clients and suppliers.
FCC Medio Ambiente, which conducts its main
activities in public thoroughfares which has a di-
rect and indirect impact on traffic and travel, works
keeping in mind the concept of “mobility” com-
bined with progress, speed, and comfort in the
performance of these services. Furthermore, the
movement of vehicles and people is subject to
a serious labour and social problem: traffic acci-
dents. Consequently, the company has been acti-
ve in trying to reduce these accidents and minimi-
se the resulting consequences.
In this context and as part of the development,
adaptation, and application of FCC’s plans on the
Prevention of Occupational Hazards, Road Safety
and Mobility, the household waste collection ser-
vices in Oviedo and Avila are celebrating “2014:
Road Safety Year” to encourage responsible safe,
efficient, and sustainable travel by implementing
several road safety and mobility initiatives.
This campaign contemplates active safety related
aspects:
•
People: psychophysical and psychotechni-
cal; driving techniques; skills and capabilities;
driving education, etc. Several monographic
activities have been scheduled for FCC staff
and their family members.
•
Vehicles: optimising and improving preven-
tive maintenance of vehicles; suspension,
tyres, gear box, steering, brakes, sensors,
electronic controls, lighting, signalling, etc.
•
Thoroughfares: designing new routes in coor-
dination with the road concession-holders to
eliminate potentially dangerous manoeuvring
during the waste collection service.
FCC shares with other companies its experiences, difficulties encountered,
achievements and results in its healthy companies program.
“2014: Road
Safety Year”
This program is part of the
commitment to ongoing improvement
and safety assurance that is always
present at FCC, considering
the importance of the circulation and
transfer of people and goods.
