This November, National Occupational Safety and Health Day (NOSHD) aims to continue to raise awareness of the urgent need to optimize risk perception in work groups, thereby achieving healthy environments and the satisfaction of production and service plans.
Jesús Camacho Medina, President of the Provincial Commission for Safety and Health at Work in Matanzas, announced the implementation of visits to workplaces, workshops and training courses aimed at addressing the risks and how to act in each circumstance.
Camacho explained that this is a month in which they will insist on increasing knowledge and protocols, essential for a province such as this, which has already suffered several accidents, such as the one at the Antonio Guiteras Thermoelectric Power Plant in April 2023, and others in the industrial zone.
The Training Center of the Construction and Assembly Company of Matanzas was chosen for the provincial act of the NOSHD, and the selection was justified by the optimal compliance by the entity and its dependencies of the budgets for the purchase of means of protection and the observance of the corresponding measures.
Compliance with the rules of safety and health at work is a priority issue in the organic process leading up to the 22nd Congress of the Central of Cuban Workers (CTC), whose final sessions will be held next April.
Vladimir Gonzalez, a member of the Secretariat of the Provincial Committee of the CTC, called on grassroots union leaders to demand that budgets for the purchase of protective gear be respected, especially in the case of non-state actors, some of whom have already suffered deaths.
