FCC
aligns itself
with the Declaration
of Luxembourg
3
rd
Meeting of Cities
for
Sustainable and
Safe Urban Mobility
As part of its commitment to incorporate the basic principles
of workplace health promotion in managing the health of its
employees, FCC has aligned itself with the Declaration of Lu-
xembourg.
The consensus document was drafted in 1996 by all mem-
ber countries of the European Network for Workplace Health
(ENWHP) which sets out the guidelines and principles for the
actions and measures to be implemented by the network.
Several European countries have already joined the Luxem-
bourg Declaration initiative and have incorporated its prin-
ciples in the corporate strategies and services rendered to
clients and associates.
The theme website of the National Institute of Safety and
Health at Work on the Workplace Health Promotion http://
insht.es/portal/site/PromocionSalud/ includes a complete list
of all the companies that have joined this initiative.
The two-day congress was divided into several roundtables to
promote and propose specific measure that contribute to crea-
ting a safer, healthier, and quieter urban environment, from diffe-
rent perspectives. FCC participated in the panel discussion on
“Road Safety at Work” represented by David Martínez Sánchez,
prevention technician at the Environment Levante II branch offi-
ce and one of FCC’s top collaborators in issues concerning road
safety.
The meeting also served to stimulate different approaches with
the appropriate guidelines to make it easier to secure financing
from the European Structural Funds and other funds and pro-
grams managed directly by the European Commission.
The congress was inaugurated by the Director General of Traffic,
María Seguí, who encouraged everyone to continue working
towards the achievement of “sustainable, healthy, and safe” mo-
bility and stressed the need to reduce the rate of accidents and
pollution levels down to zero.
