Occupational health and safety policy
We comply with all relevant health and safety legal requirements.
TECCO AUTOMOTIVE, S.A. is committed to complying with all relevant national occupational health and safety laws and regulations at each of its locations. Cooperation with public authorities, institutions and other qualified partners is expected to be based on trust and mutual respect.
We recognize and minimize hazards and related risks.
We provide safe working conditions and healthy habits to prevent injuries and declining health, and invest in eliminating hazards and reducing risks in every workplace. The health and safety of our employees in everything we do is our top priority. For that reason, we actively involve our health and safety experts during the early stages of process setup to implement appropriate operating procedures. In addition, we perform ergonomic analyses of workstations and risk analysis and identification of hazards in each of the work areas and possible contamination at all of our workstations on a regular basis. In this way, we can define the necessary personal protective equipment (PPE) and rotations within the workstation, before starting to work in series. The prevention and avoidance of accidents, occupational diseases and other work-related health effects receive the highest priority within TECCO AUTOMOTIVE S.A. In addition to all of the above, we ensure that all machines we use in our processes comply with CE standards to guarantee the safety of our employees.
We are aware of our responsibility towards health and safety.
Ensuring health and safety is an important part of the responsibility of everyone in the organization, i.e. executive board members, general managers, managers and all employees. All the aforementioned personnel assume responsibility for implementing the necessary measures to ensure health and safety. Each employee has the duty to point out risks and hazards as they are detected; employees are also empowered to eliminate such hazards. Likewise, all employees have the obligation to use the personal protective equipment (PPE) supplied by TECCO AUTOMOTIVE S.A. depending on the job they perform and which is duly indicated in each line of work. In addition, in the positions where chemical substances are handled, they are duly adapted and there are
instructions for storage, handling and safety data sheets to act in case of being necessary.
Emergency and accident management.
At TECCO AUTOMOTIVE S.A. we guarantee preventive fire protection and emergency management. That is why all fire and fire detection equipment is regularly checked by an approved external company.
In addition, we have trained fire, evacuation and first aid teams for each of the shifts, and we carry out periodic drills so that we are prepared to act quickly in case of any type of emergency. On the other hand, there are also trained managers for each of the shifts, to manage everything necessary in case of any incident or accident.
We challenge and support the active participation of all our employees.
We encourage consultation and participation of our personnel and their representatives, including coordination with external collaborating personnel, customers and suppliers. We support and motivate our employees by providing them with regular and targeted education, training and development to enable them to perform their duties responsibly and in line with our health and safety policies. We inform our employees about the status and development of our activities and results with respect to the company's health and safety performance, and require their active participation in the implementation of appropriate measures.
We continuously improve our health and safety management system.
We aim to continuously improve our health and safety system with the ultimate goal of maintaining and, if possible, strengthening the health, job satisfaction and efficiency of our employees. The effectiveness of decisions made and measures implemented are regularly reviewed. Internal and external audits are used to ensure compliance with legal requirements and internal goals and objectives. Business management must plan for the release of appropriate resources and funds to achieve health and safety-related objectives at our facilities.
