Grupo Torrent has been honored in the XXIII edition of the national “Antonio Baró” award, organized by MC Mutual. This prestigious recognition, which is granted on a national level, rewards companies and institutions for their outstanding practices in Occupational Risk Prevention and promoting employee health in the workplace. Notably, Grupo Torrent’s workplace accident rate is significantly lower than the national average.
In recent years, Grupo Torrent has implemented significant improvements in Occupational Risk Prevention, focusing on management, safety, ergonomics, industrial hygiene, psychosociology, road safety, and overall employee well-being. The company’s preventive policy integrates safety into all business activities, ensuring employee participation, regular audits, and innovative measures.
Among the key actions implemented are:
- Safety: Compliance with current regulations and their revisions, installation of railings, improvements to pits and work procedures, and conducting evacuation drills, including practical fire-extinguishing training.
- Ergonomics: Reduction in the weight of boxes, contributing not only to sustainability but also to the improvement of working conditions for operators. Additionally, manual handling of loads has been optimized with new equipment and several adjustable pits.
- Industrial Hygiene: Control of exposure to compounds and noise, optimization of equipment and processes to reduce risks.
- Road Safety: Implementation of a mobility plan that includes reverse parking and charging points for electric vehicles and bicycles, meeting the requirements of a sustainable company. Annually, an assessment of noise exposure is conducted in the production plant’s workstations.
- Health and Well-being: The company has promoted healthy habits through initiatives such as participation in projects like Healthy Cities and organizing sports activities for employees, and in some cases, their families, throughout the year. Additionally, annual medical check-ups, access to private healthcare, and agreements with specific hospital institutions are provided.
Innovations in Occupational Risk Prevention include the automation of work permits through an app and ATEX certification for specialized work areas. Furthermore, training in Occupational Risk Prevention has been strengthened at all levels of the organization, encouraging employee participation and fostering a safety culture.
Additionally, the company, a global leader in the manufacturing of closure solutions for spirits, virgin olive oils, and wines, also stands out for managing training programs, both internal and external, for all its staff.
Grupo Torrent has received various accolades for its efforts in Occupational Risk Prevention and social responsibility, including the installation of solar panels to reduce CO2 emissions in all its production plants in Spain.
