MORE UOCRA - MORE TRAINING AND PREVENTION

Within the framework of the national programme on training in health and safety for workers, we are presenting and delivering the handbook of health and safety at work in elaborate concrete plants.
With the goal of disseminating preventive and protective measures in the different work processes that are carried out at elaborate concrete plants and emphasizing the strategic importance in this specific area in the building industry and its high impact on the activity. We began with technical talks at the plant of Lomax’s Company located in the City of Buenos Aires. 
At this technical meetings, the Handbook of Health and Safety at Work in elaborate concrete plants was handed in to each worker, the contents of this manual were also developed.  Here, the thematic index is presented as well as the website where the handbook can be seen.
