Train with the best

The best training for managers, call-centre operators, roadside assistance operators and mechanics.

Business owners and managers

The complexity of regulations in Spain makes it very difficult, in most cases, for business owners to comply with them. Occupational risk-prevention legislation is no exception. Business owners face a serious problem when trying to comply properly with its provisions.

The main question business owners must ask themselves is when they can be sure they are doing it correctly. Simply hiring an external prevention service is not enough; in fact, it is merely support for all the actions the company must carry out. It must be stressed that responsibility lies entirely with the business owner. It is therefore essential that business owners have the fullest knowledge of their obligations and responsibilities and, logically, those of the other parties involved: workers, prevention services, subcontractors, etc.

Cones on the road

3. Signalling and Protection · Part 1

The importance of placing cones

  • Placing cones strategically increases the operator's safety while showing drivers on the road where they should drive, increasing safety in the work zone.
  • Cones must be in good condition, as must the reflective strips.
  • The distance between cones must be 5 m to ensure proper visibility for vehicles travelling through the area.

3. Signalling and Protection · Part 2

High-visibility clothing

  • The visibility of a Roadside Assistance operator is improved by a high contrast between their clothing and the background of their surroundings.
  • High-visibility warning clothing is designed to signal the wearer's presence visually so that they can be detected in any lighting conditions.
  • The larger the area covered by Protective Equipment, the greater the protection for the worker.

3. Signalling and Protection · Part 3

Stakes, helmet/cap, gloves and safety goggles

  • The main purpose of a safety helmet is to protect the head from any mechanical blow, impact or hazards of a mechanical, thermal or electrical nature.
  • Protective gloves cover the whole hand, preventing possible risks of amputation, cuts, burns and abrasions, and help workers do a good job thanks to features such as a non-slip grip.
  • Safety goggles protect us from splashes of chemicals, dust, wood and metal shavings, etc.
