On October 3 and 4, 2019, the 2nd Prevencionar Congress was held. The atmosphere throughout the congress was magnificent and once again, it has provided us all with an opportunity to share knowledge and viewpoints with professionals from all areas of occupational risk prevention<\/strong>. For this reason, everyone at GespreObra<\/a> is very grateful to the organization for the contributions of this congress to the occupational health and safety sector. <\/p>\n

Health and Safety from Theory to Practice<\/h2>\n

Under the slogan “from theory to practice,” the organizers of the Prevencionar Congress 2019 put together a program<\/a> full of highly interesting proposals, lectures, and project presentations. The congress featured 40 stands and was attended by 1,500 delegates from various countries and 200 specialists. <\/p>\n

During the Prevencionar Congress, topics of great relevance to the occupational health and safety sector were discussed<\/strong>. There was talk of integration and the coordination of business activities. There was also discussion regarding training and safety in the operation of mobile elevating work platforms (MEWPs)<\/a>, through IPAF Spain. During the Congress, the topic of Applied Psychosociology was extensively addressed which, as we previously published in an article on our blog<\/a>, is a subject that often remains in the theoretical field and is not usually approached from a practical point of view. On the other hand, very interesting developments were seen regarding the gamification of occupational risk prevention. <\/p>\n

GespreObra’s Participation in the Prevencionar Congress<\/h2>\n

GespreObra did not want to miss the opportunity to contribute its grain of sand to an event of this nature. Therefore, it participated as an official sponsor of the 2nd Prevencionar Congress 2019.<\/strong> <\/p>\n

In this regard, Rosa Luz Carre\u00f1o, CEO of GespreObra, conducted the workshop “Health and Safety Coordination on Construction Sites – From Theory to Practice”<\/strong>. Practical issues were raised in this workshop, such as the legal consequences of the lack of specificity in legislation and the different interpretations of it. Aspects related to the actual functions of a health and safety coordinator during the construction execution phase were also brought to the table. <\/p>\n

In the interview that Dolores Rico<\/a> conducted with Rosa Luz Carre\u00f1o in the Congress’s “Chester” space, some of her insights on the matter are captured. For example, the actual functions of the health and safety coordinator on-site are not what they should be<\/strong>. The absence of specific legal requirements regarding training for the health and safety coordinator does not help. You can watch the full interview below. <\/p>\n
