Health & Safety
Safety is one of the pillars of SOCOTEC, for this reason we have a division dedicated solely to providing assistance in safety issues to the rest of the departments so that our actions on site comply with rigorous safety standards.
With the aim of promoting within the construction sector the idea that prevention is a tool that facilitates production, in 2024 SOCOTEC incorporates a specific department for the coordination of Health and Safety that until now was done in a decentralized way in each of the divisions.
With this division, we bring Safety Culture to projects and construction sites.
At SOCOTEC we offer a quality service in activities such as Health and Safety Coordination, Technical Assistance in Prevention, Self-Protection Plans, training of workers and managers, among others
Our department knows first-hand the problems of developers, construction companies and subcontractors and adapts its services to provide security at all levels.

Health & Safety Coordination
The promoter, in its obligations to guarantee the Law on the Prevention of Occupational Risks in the construction works it promotes, must appoint a health and safety coordinator.
This figure must guarantee that the contractor follows safe construction processes. Our coordinators are engineers and architects specialized in the prevention of occupational risks with extensive experience in unique engineering and architectural works.
In the development of building works, civil works and conservation and maintenance, the action of the health and safety coordinator represents an essential function, included in R.D. 1627/97, which promotes the application of all those measures that eliminate or reduce risks in the workplace.

HEALTH AND SAFETY PLAN
What is a Health and Safety Plan?
A Construction Safety and Health Plan is a comprehensive document whose primary objective is to protect the life and health of workers on the construction site by identifying and mitigating risks, complying with rules and regulations, and implementing preventive and emergency measures. At SOCOTEC we draft and update the Health and Safety Plans for your company.
