5.5. Safety and health at work

5.5.1. Identifying and reducing incidence of occupational hazards

Developing a risk map, identifying the highest risk areas with unsafe conditions. A risk map should be developed of the facilities owned or rented by the company: general facilities, field, packaging facility and shelter.

A record should be maintained of each work hazard shown, specifying the situation, where it happened and what caused the accident; so that, statistics can be generated and a risk analysis study can be developed, indicating the corrective and preventative measures should be implemented to reduce the incidence of accidents and protecting the health and life for workers. The latter should be done with the participation of workers and the Commission on Health and Safety at the workplace.

In the Program on Safety and Health at the Workplace, it is necessary to describe the ideal working conditions and operation of the safety system, to be able to identify if required: adjustments to facilities, improvements to machinery and equipment, change in tools, maintenance actions, changes in howwork is performed, providing personal protective equipment, strengthening the training for workers, among others.

In order to implement the system of safety and health at the workplace, it is required to periodically review and evaluate the compliance of corrective and preventive actions, included in the risk analysis study and motivate the people responsible, so that each recommendation becomes effective, and if it is not working, to make the necessary adjustments.

The company must keep a historical record of the risk premium to be applied at the end of each fiscal year, and this should be compared against the risk premium of the immediately preceding year. The company must gradually reduce this number until reaching the average minimum level for the agriculture sector, but not at the expense to stop channeling injured workers to the attention of social security services.

For purposes of compliance with the indicator of the risk premium, evaluation begins from the first recertification audit of Eleven Rivers.
