The Workplace Safety programs aim to ensure the adoption of practices and procedures that allow Members to identify, assess and control the dangers and risks existing in the different processes and activities undertaken at the developments. The focus is on prevention to avoid the occurrence of incidents and their resulting losses.

These practices and procedures are part of the Integrated Sustainability Program – Workplace Safety that takes place at each development. They apply starting with the study phase for the elaboration of proposals up to the demobilization phase, as well as during the entire period of the companies’ participation in the development’s operation.

Workplace Safety management follows specific policies and guidelines for the topic and is based on international norms, the legal requirements of the countries and environments in which our developments are inserted and the experience of good Engineering and Construction practices. We currently maintain the OHSAS 18001:2007 certification.
