Under the Strategic Plan for Risk Prevention and Occupational Health 2007-2009 all companies in the Group are subject to external audits in addition to those required by law.

Fragile Campaign

The management model is the direct responsibility of Human Resources and Organisation through the Directorate of Labour Relations. To assist its development and implementation in all the companies in the group, Risk Prevention and Occupational Health Committees have been set up.

In 2006 with the objective of creating a truly preventive culture the `Fragile´ campaign was launched.

It’s a campaign to reduce occupational risk through the dissemination of information and training. During the campaign 5000 posters and 15000 leaflets were distributed.
