Understanding and Applying the Worker Protection Standard
Our professionalism and technical independence in the analysis of causes, scope of insurance coverage and calculation of indemnity represent the best guarantee, both for the insurer and the insured, of arriving at a correct, objective and impartial result.
We analyze the risk factors present in homes, businesses and industries and how they harmonize with the existing protections, in order to evaluate the potential of suffering a loss and its magnitude. After this stage, we recommend the necessary safety measures to lower the probability of occurrence and reduce the consequential losses, in case it happens.
Fire protection engineering comprises the application of scientific knowledge and specific techniques in order to avoid or reduce human and property losses caused by fire, explosion and other related risks. It requires a great deal of experience in fire response and the knowledge of norms, protection standards, construction methodologies and authorized and/or recognized literature on the subject.

When a chemical is released over a wide area such as an industrial plant or is released from a container, such as a drum or bottle, it enters the environment as a chemical emission. This emission, also known as a release, does not always cause exposure. You may be exposed to a chemical only when you come into contact with it. Exposure to a chemical in the environment can occur by breathing, consuming or drinking substances containing the chemical, or by touching the chemical with your skin.
If you have been exposed to a hazardous substance such as thallium, there are several factors that will determine whether harmful effects will occur, the types of effects that will occur, and the severity of the effects. These factors include the dose (how much), the duration (how long), the route or pathway of exposure (breathing, ingestion, drinking, or skin contact), the other chemicals to which you are exposed, and your individual characteristics such as age, sex, nutritional status, family characteristics, lifestyle, and health status.

The research shows that, despite slight improvements, slaughterhouses are still one of the worst places in the country to work. A place where virtually all employees are migrants facing harsh working conditions and accidents, with thousands of workers outside the industry’s collective bargaining agreement. A place where fear reigns. «No one dares to complain about anything,» explains Moses, a Nigerian who works at the ICP slaughterhouse in Zaragoza and asks that his last name be withheld. «Everyone is afraid of losing their job.»
If you look at the skin of these employees, it is easy to observe very graphic examples of the harshness and risk of slaughterhouse work: virtually all show various scars scattered across the body, the consequence of repetitive work, at an unbridled pace and with dangerous tools.
Until 2018, a good part of these employees were false self-employed hired through work cooperatives. This model allowed them to work very long working days with no vacation entitlement. Nor could they receive severance pay or unemployment benefits in the event of being fired or taking a leave of absence after an accident at work. If they did not work, they did not get paid, while the companies saved millions in social costs.
