Health and safety in the workplace

For ACCIONA, the prevention of occupational risks is a differentiating element and an indispensable requirement for guaranteeing the health and safety of its employees and collaborators.

ACCIONA has a specific Occupational Risk Prevention Strategy and Action Plan in place, which sets out to comply with legal requirements; educate, inform and raise awareness among employees with regard to their obligations and responsibilities, and obtain the commitment of the entire organisation to comply with the rules.

At ACCIONA, we are aware that we work in sectors that are particularly sensitive to these problems. Therefore, we place special emphasis on prevention and this is demonstrated by the certifications obtained and by the notable reduction in the Company's accident rate.

Participation, training and collaboration

At ACCIONA, in addition to the resources earmarked by the Company each year, we have seen that the key to the success of our workplace prevention efforts are the employees themselves through their commitment and by taking on individual responsibilities. ACCIONA's Occupational Health and Prevention Institute has carried out more than 163,000 hours of training activity, making ACCIONA one of the Spanish companies with the highest levels of investment in this type of training.

ACCIONA also collaborates actively in external multi-sector cooperation forums for the development of common risk prevention strategies and policies along with government agencies, labour unions, insurance companies, etc. ACCIONA has declared its full support for the objectives of the Seul Declaration on Safety and Health at Work.
