Mapei Finalises 2013 with zero labour accidents

Mapei has finalised the year 2013 with zero labour accidents. This data supposes a big satisfaction for Mapei, that has done of the hygiene in all his processes and operations one of his priorities of the last years. Along the year, this worry translated also in the obtaining of the certification in hygiene and health in the work (OHSAS 18001), that adds to the others two certifications that already had the company: the certification in quality (ISO 9001) and environingingmental respect (ISO14001).

This is the first occasion in that Mapei reaches the aim of zero annual accidents, although the figures showed a clear downward trend. In 2008, they registered 18 accidents, the half of them with labour drop; in 2009 they reduced to eight; in 2010 they were three the incidents registered and in 2011 and 2012 only registered an accident, in both cases without drop.

Francesc Busquets, adviser delegated and general director of Ibermapei, has declared that “we are conscious that we need to continue focused in the hygiene and that can not us relax after achieving this excellent result”. Busquets has added that “the aim to achieve the leadership in Spain in the sector of the construction comports the need to be leaders also in what to safety and prevention of labour risks refers ”.
