ur OHS system strictly complies with the governing regulations. It allows us to identify critical risks in the activities carried out by personnel in order to establish control strategies to ensure a safe working environment and prevent occupational accidents or illnesses. Its scope reaches all our activities, and all staff (own or external), without exemptions. In addition, we are subject to internal and external audits, as well as supervision by the relevant government authority. Our policy is to ensure the well-being of our associates by providing them with the right conditions for their work. Mechanisms were established to minimize the hazards and risks inherent in our activity in each of the different projects and operations, ensuring our safety and health to avoid any damage that might occur as a result of a work activity. To this end, we promoted a culture of occupational risk prevention and a management system that allowed us to prevent various risks, in accordance with the valid regulations. This is reinforced by the procedures, instructions and different actions that are being taken. We have established a number of security protocols in our commercial and corporate centers due to the massive interaction we have with
customers and the general public. For this, we have an efficient response plan for an emergency, natural disaster or risk situation. Significant hazards and risks are detailed in the Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment Matrix (IPERC), through which we execute control plans, in line with a hazard identification procedure. Also, our team has general good practice general guidelines, in which we identify safe jobs and keep the periodic risk assessment up-to-date. Through this type of controls, we seek to increase the level of protection for the safety and health of our workers. In our evaluation process we consider the following reports: •
Finding report
•
Incident report
•
Preliminary accident report
•
Final accident report
We identify the causes of the events and establish and implement the necessary measures to prevent them from happening again.
