Organization and Management of Occupational Risk Prevention
5. Implanting the Risk Prevention Plan
Depending on the health and safety risks that have been identified, procedures are implemented to eliminate or, failing that, control said risks, including those operations carried out by subcontracted firms.
Putting the Risk Prevention Plan into practice includes the following aspects:
- Training and qualification of staff.
- Operational control.
- Emergencies.
- Health monitoring.
- Documentation.
5.1. Training and qualification of staff
This constitutes the fundamental pillar in the integration of Risk Prevention in all areas of the Organisation and an essential tool to carry out control over identified and assessed risks.
The planning of training in matters of Occupational Risk Prevention is carried out on an annual basis and its monitoring is carried out in the same way as the remaining aspects included in the annual Risk Prevention Planning.
5.2. Operational control
The aim is to carry out the necessary operations and activities to control the hazards identified in the assessment. In accordance with said identification, the ISASTUR Group controls actions in the following areas:
5.2.1. Concurrence of business activities
Due to the characteristics of the diverse activities undertaken by the ISASTUR Group, the carrying out of our tasks happens to coincide at practically all times with those of workers belonging to many other companies or self-employed workers.
When we work at our clients’ facilities, we usually coincide with the client’s staff or that of other contracts; when we work on jobs in general, there are usually other companies; we ourselves subcontract out work in jobs in which we have our own staff; even at our own facilities, workers from other firms carry out work or, simply, we receive visits.
These examples highlight the need for us to coordinate with all these firms and self-employed workers so as to avoid unexpected hazards appearing that may affect any worker.
5.2.2. Existence of especially vulnerable workers
In accordance with the stipulations of Article 25 of the L.P.R.L., we consider a worker to be especially vulnerable when, on account of his or her own personal characteristics or known biological status, including those workers who have a recognised physical, mental or sensorial disability, they are especially vulnerable to hazards derived from the job in question.
With the aim of adapting the job to the person as far as possible so as to avoid accidents, incidents, diseases and pathologies derived from or aggravated by the job, the Organisation plans and controls suitable preventive measures to protect these special workers.
