Health and Safety on site aims to ensure effective control of working conditions in order to prevent accidents and occupational illnesses.
For this to be possible, it is also necessary for workers to collaborate in defining and complying with the recommended preventive measures, with a view to promoting safe and healthy workplaces.
In this context, it is extremely important to involve your workers in all the phases involved in carrying out the tasks, as an interested, active party and promoter of health and safety at work.
It is well known that when all stakeholders are involved, it becomes easier to achieve the desired objectives and this is no exception in the area of health and safety.
