The Elecnor Group invests more than EUR 46 million in accident prevention

In total, Elecnor has provided upwards of 730,000 hours in safety training and 145,000 hours specifically in technological areas with more than 600,000 participants.

The Elecnor Group has invested over EUR 46 million in the last year to boost accident prevention, which will enable it to improve health and safety for its employees and all the people involved in its work. The goal of the company is to achieve what is known as ‘zero accidents’. Last year’s results in terms of employee health and safety were the second best on record in the group with a frequency rate of 2.0. Commitment to occupational accident prevention is an absolute priority for Elecnor, which has benefitted throughout 2024 from the services of 472 Health and Safety specialists and 93 health professionals to look after the staff in over 40 countries. Furthermore, it has trained more than 2,900 employees though its awareness programme ‘Control Your Risks’.

“Training is the basis of sound prevention and, therefore, we have provided 736,800 hours on health and safety, as well as 145,500 hours on technological issues with over 600,000 participants”, explains the CEO of the Elecnor Group, Alberto García de los Ángeles, who adds, “Despite the good results, we are not completely satisfied and we are going to keep working hard to improve rates even further. Our objective is zero accidents and we will achieve this with the utmost reliability in accident prevention”.

Within the Elecnor Group during the course of 2024 there were 346,100 principal risk permits (PRPs), 95,050 safety inspections, 79,600 corrective measures and 680 internal on-site audits, with the aim of increasing and optimising the control of field work conditions.

Innovation to improve Health and Safety

The Elecnor Group supports innovation as a key tool in improving Health and Safety conditions for its employees, as well as in accident prevention. The digital transformation streamlines processes and reduces the impact of bureaucracy and formalities. Development is underway of a proprietary project involving Artificial Intelligence and Big Data to analyse millions of data from SegurT, PRPs and Notific@, as well as Virtual Reality to improve training for local operators.

“At Elecnor we have the most advanced systems to improve Health and Safety areas in the company. Nevertheless, we consider it to be everyone’s job, where all ideas are important in achieving our goal of zero accidents. For this reason, we have collected more than 1,020 ideas with the best suggestions for improvement from our own employees, whose own experience is of infinite value”, explains Alberto García de los Ángeles.

Elecnor Group has held over 16,000 awareness meetings over the last year and has sent weekly safety contacts to upwards of 18,000 employees for use in all meetings and training sessions.

Furthermore, an Elecnor field worker received an award for their commitment to on-site safety.
