According to data from the Superintendencia de Riesgos del Trabajo, approximately two people die every day in occupational accidents, which can be avoided through basic preventive measures. The solution to most of these deaths can be found if the employee works in a safe environment. The legislation foresees a series of measures that must be complied with within a work environment. And it is the specialized professionals who are dedicated to ensure that the rules are correctly laid out and that employees work in safe and healthy places.
