Health and safety

Caja Madrid operates a management system for the prevention of occupational hazards to ensure our employees, suppliers and customers have the best health and safety conditions, above and beyond those required by law. In 2008 the system was again audited by an outside firm, and the audit report reflects that the preventive planning is properly done pursuant to the principle of placing prevention at the forefront throughout the entire organisation.

Staff participation in the system is done through the National Health and Safety Committee, with 15 members representing the company and another 15 representing staff. The Committee delegates authority for these matters to 34 local prevention officers, who work to enhance employee cooperation in complying with the applicable regulations and standards.

An annual prevention plan is thus drawn up and, after being studied and discussed with worker's representatives, is implemented in a variety of initiatives and actions to avoid occupational hazards. Work in 2008 also focused on optimising the communication circuits used to keep interested parties in and out of the company informed on our workplaces.
