New plan to reduce accidents

The Government of Catalonia presented the plan to prevent accidents that will be effective until 2012 and aims to reduce accidents.

At a cost of 92 million and a well defined aim: to continue reducing accidents, as has already been doing the last four years. The basis of this plan through the prevention and awareness of employees, employers and young people in the future will be in the labor market, maintaining the health and safety training as a play within a bus to visit the secondary schools and, henceforth, the university also offers an elective course.

In total, 118 measures were used to improve working conditions and competitiveness, improving the training of employees and employers time to detect risks and to reduce cases of illnesses. Promote research and development to improve safety and health, helping companies make their prevention plan or giving grants to renovate machinery safer, are just some of the actions to perform in this new plan to reduce occupational injuries in Catalonia.
