  Safety and Health at Work is a science transverse to all activities and is a fundamental tool for the development of the organization, the worker and society. Any company is well aware of the legal implications and requirements regarding the Safety and Health at Work issues, knowing that a failure in this regard can automatically generate a personal, social and economic cost. The Safety and Health at Work main objective is to guarantee working conditions in any company in order to prevent occupational accidents and occupational diseases.

Each of these figures assumes a certain responsibility, visible in their interventions at the level of their duties and professional activities, which presupposes the acquisition of adequate skills in the field of Occupational Safety and Health .
