HEALTH AND SAFETY

At Inaccés, there is a clear commitment to caring for our workers as well as complying with current legislation on Occupational Health and Safety.

We promote and apply all good practices for safer work in a healthy environment, based on the prevention and reduction of occupational hazards. Our staff is our most valuable asset and their health and safety is the most important aspect.

Since 2007, Inaccés has established a management system for occupational hazard prevention based on the OHSAS 18001, certificate, awarded by the body, APPLUS. On February 2020 we obtained ISO 45001:2018 certificate that  replace OSHAS.

This certification allows the strict monitoring of procedures and instructions on both occupational health and safety.

We have identified the risks inherent in working on the construction site to establish security protocols. Its implementation is the path to the company’s goal of reducing occupational hazards.

Measures to reach safety goals::

• Preparing technical safety instructions
• Emergency plan layout
• Preparing an occupational health and safety manual
• Drawing up a Health and Safety plan for each construction site
• Internal safety training for all workers
• Periodic on-site safety inspections
