We are FCC - Nº4

W E L L N E S S FCC bolsters its in-house training for investigating accidents at the workplace. Investigating accidents at the wor- kplace is an essential process in managing the prevention of occupa- tional hazards, the aim of which is to gather information on the events and determining its causes by means of the corresponding analysis. This analysis serves to define the necessary corrective and preventive measures to prevent these inciden- ces from taking place again. Therefore, investigation is an essen- tial learning tool for improving the Company’s preventive management, involving various agents, starting with the prevention technicians, the managers and departments involved and, finally, with the participation of workers and their representatives. For the purpose of reinforcing knowledge and techniques in relation the investigation of accidents, FCC’s Corporate Department of Coordina- tion and Development of Human Re- sources organised a transversal wor- kshop on 7 November aimed at the prevention technicians in which se- veral of them from different business areas participated. The morning-long workshop at the Las Tablas head- quarters was led by Pedro Ledesma, head of FCC’s Corporate Safety and Health Area, and Carlos Arévalo, an expert and external consultant in this field. The main objective of accident investigation is the deduction of the causes that generated them through prior knowledge of the events that occurred. On 8 November Grupo Cementos Portland Valderrivas organised a 3.5-hour seminar for its manage- ment staff. The event was coordi- nated by Carlos Alonso, the ma- nager of Safety and Health and Corporate Social Responsibility. Other participants included Ana Benita, manager of Coordination and Development of Human Re- sources at FCC, and Ángel Luis Sánchez Iglesias, an inspector from the Labour and Social Secu- rity Department.
