Elecnor reinforces its commitment to preventing workplace accidents
Elecnor's prevention plan against any workplace accident structures the company's operational safety guidelines.
Elecnor's goal of zero workplace accidents shows a constant reduction in accident rates. Elecnor's Frequency Rate dropped to 3.5 in Spain (workplace accidents per million hours worked), while the Severity Rate decreased to 0.15 days lost per thousand hours. These figures reinforce the company's positive trend towards zero accidents.
In pursuit of this objective, Elecnor has dedicated special effort to prevention through training activities, site audits, and awareness campaigns. The latest available global data shows that in this regard, 1,102 internal site audits and over 75,000 safety inspections were carried out across the Group in 2020. Furthermore, over 23,000 people participated in training activities, dedicating more than 252,000 hours to them.
In its effort to attract the best talent, Elecnor strives every day to create an attractive, motivating, and safe work environment that also encourages professional progression. Therefore, more than 92% of the Group's workers are represented in health and safety committees, forums dedicated to key issues such as work procedures or protective equipment.
Within the framework of corporate strategy and commitment to the prevention of workplace accidents, accreditation by the corresponding AENOR certifications in accordance with the OHSAS 18001 standard stands out. This is the standard for occupational health and safety management that imposes the highest levels of excellence and demands to offer the best service to our clients, working with loyalty, honesty, dedication, and safety. Within the framework of workplace accident prevention, Elecnor holds the ISO 45001 certification, the global occupational health and safety management standard. The company has 100% of its systems audited under this international standard of excellence, guaranteeing the utmost rigor in the protection of its professionals and clients.
In line with its firm purpose of achieving the goal of zero workplace accidents, Grupo Elecnor has continued to reinforce its investments in occupational risk prevention. In 2023, the company allocated 26 million euros to this area, consolidating its commitment to the safety of its professionals.
Elecnor's budget for the prevention of workplace accidents increases progressively every year. Grupo Elecnor allocated 26 million euros in 2023, 46 million euros in 2024, and 62 million euros in 2025 to occupational safety. These capital investments finance the technical training of its professionals, site audits, and the constant provision of personal protective equipment.
