Safety at Work
Safety at work is a preventive technique that fights against accidents at work. It mainly prevents their occurrence or, failing that, minimizes their immediate consequences.
On the other hand, occupational safety covers the detection of risks, their elimination and the implementation of measures to protect against damage and loss from accidents at work.
It also acts on the mechanical factors of the work environment (falls, entrapments, blows, cuts, electrical contacts, etc.) and against other factors that suddenly appear (for example: a fire or an explosion).
Technical Studies that we carry out
Health and safety plans for construction sites
Coordination of health and safety on site
Study of explosive atmospheres ATEX
Checking of electrical installations in companies or construction sites.
Gas detection in explosive and/or toxic atmospheres.
Scope of Application
The scope of application of this specialty affects all safety actions in the workplace. Broadly speaking we can classify them into:
Safety techniques:
Safety inspections.
Examination of working conditions for the detection of accident risks (identification, location and risk assessment).
Application of preventive and/or corrective measures for the elimination or reduction of their effects.
Investigation of accidents at work: Technique of prevention to know the circumstances in which the injuries of workers occur. In this way it is possible to determine the causes that have originated them. Finally, it is necessary to adopt corrective measures to avoid their repetition.
Safety standards and signage:
Safety rules are guidelines from the employer that affect the behavior of workers and aim to avoid risks.
Signage (panel, image, sound, verbal or gestural communication) provides an indication or an obligation relating to safety or health at work.
Collective and individual protection:
Collective protection is the safety technique aimed at protecting, simultaneously, a group of workers who are exposed to certain risks.
While individual protection deals with any equipment intended to be worn or held by the worker to protect him from one or more risks that may threaten his safety and health.
Fire/Explosion:
Means of prevention: smoke and temperature detectors.
Means of protection: fire extinguishers, Equipped Fire Hydrants (BIEs), automatic sprinklers, etc.
Preparation of emergency and self-protection plans: The Occupational Risk Prevention Act states that, “The employer, taking into account the size and activity of the company, as well as the possible presence of outsiders, must analyze possible emergency situations and adopt the necessary measures in terms of first aid, fire fighting and evacuation of workers.”
Work equipment (machines, apparatus, instruments and installations).
Workplaces and work spaces.
Handling, storage and transport.
Electrical current.
Hazardous chemical substances.
Pressure devices.
