WORKPLACE HEALTH
AND SAFETY
PRISA remains committed to its objective of promoting
a preventive culture throughout its businesses.
Noteworthy in this regard is the Group’s
commitment to integrate risk prevention and workplace
health and safety in the general management
systems of companies.
In 2017, the Joint Prevention Service completed,
in all companies, its process of the identification of
psychosocial risk factors that may pose a risk to
the health of workers.
Regulatory audits in the area of prevention were
carried out satisfactorily, where required.
Quarterly meetings with all health and safety committees
have continued, and evacuation measures
in case of emergencies have been implemented.
In short, the Group has done its utmost to safeguard
and improve conditions for all its employees.
Specifically, 86 % of the Group’s employees in
Spain are represented in formal health and safety
committees, while 100 % are covered by the joint
prevention service. Worldwide, 42 % of employees
are represented in such committees.

PRISA is 1.77 %.
