If Occupational Risk Prevention in the company was already something fundamental, imagine now. As in so many other aspects, this health crisis brings to light in which companies prevention was a mere formalism typical of the legal imperative, or if there truly was a preventive culture in the business environment. Today we bring to light the role of occupational risk prevention in the face of Covid-19.
Prevention in times of Covid-19
I make an appeal; It is time to internalize, transmit and enhance preventive culture in companies. Us and us. Yes. HR specialists, who currently have so many fronts open professionally. It is still up to us to become aware of its importance.
As we have demonstrated in this crisis, our professional profile has it in our DNA to adapt quickly to new situations of change that may occur in work environments that are more volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous than ever. Why this makes us resilient, and will make us stronger again.
Let's try to extract from this a reading that brings us improvement in our new present. I invite those who continued to see Occupational Risk Prevention as an expense to engage in self-criticism... If our companies and workers had internalized Occupational Risk Prevention as a culture, as another part of our employer brandingWould it have been easier at this time to adapt to the new prevention measures taken urgently and sometimes quite improvised, given the situation generated by Covid-19? Could it have been thus contribute a grain of sand to more effectively stop the famous contagion curve?
Prevention, essential in the new world of work
In it document published by the National Institute of Security and Health at Work, which, although it only consists of 46 pages, establishes the basic guidelines to follow in labor preventive matters for “all sectors of activity” of the Spanish business fabric.
We must once again lead what could be a movement of conscience and social solidarity, which begins with us and by assuming Prevention as part of our much-cited “new normal.”
Let's return to our jobs tomorrow being aware of the role we play, let's contact the Technician of our Prevention Service, let's team up more than ever to establish a plan, let's collaborate again in the re-evaluation of the risks of our center... There is so much to do.
Let's start ourselves, you dare?
