construction in Spain is booming. Entrepreneurs make money in a very quick but no care of their employees who are making them every month to collect these astronomical rents.
works developed in the Community of Madrid have left too many deaths on the road. Unions are not positioned in a clear falling into passivity and ambiguous dialogue. Many construction workers who are left living in a profession that does not comply in most cases with the law.
Jan. 23 death of a Moroccan worker in the works of the extension of Metro line 7, in Coslada. The worker was working when a dumper (truck used in transporting construction debris) struck him violently broke both legs. We went to the hospital of the Princess, but hours later died of cardiac arrest as a result of another impact he had received in the chest.
seems impossible, but with each passing week the locals get used to these "accidents" (known by the companies, contractors and subcontractors) that are not, but poor management and coordination of security measures that in many cases companies ignored. Subconstratas
As always (in recent years have become fashionable) throw balls out and ensure that the worker was able to perform the functions required of it. Each part is removed by washing their hands responsibility.
The Community of Madrid is trying to meet legislation. And unions do what they can, rather, little or nothing. Limited each to prepare a report detailing the problems experienced by workers for the end recite a series of recommendations that will never meet the companies.
So, I wonder what situation the worker is deceased and his companions. There is a huge legal vacuum with large gaps where no one wants to take action on the matter.
And the figures show a considerable number of deaths in construction, also in the sector and industry sevicios. For example, a total of 1352 workers in Spain were killed in 2006.
accidents that year's conbraron 168 life Madrid, a 8% more than last year. 44 deaths (35 English and 9 foreign) in the strict sense work , 13 a result of a fall and 11 after being trapped.
By sector: 20 construction workers, 13 in 11 services and industries.
Also in 2006, the Women's Counseling Employment and opened a total of 2,494 records and grossed 8.8 billion euros penalties.
More about this data in the paper GlobalHENARES which is distributed biweekly by the Corredor del Henares.
These figures attest to the progressive deterioration in a subject as important as the safety in construction. Workers deserve a minimum of responsibility of the company that hires them. They meet but his superiors. Something must be done so that this situation will change, but the countermeasures are mild and very premises. Furthermore, the acceleration of work on the Metro to the underground works are completed when the President of the Comundo established that accidents are multiplying. Charge and finish is all that matters and workers as provided in Focus being the most affected.
The government must work together to minimize potential accidents. According to studies, if companies spend 2% of all profits earned in training their employees on safety would be reduced between 30 and 40% of accidents at work. Everyone must do their part to address this scourge continues to spread throughout Spain and threatens to permanently instituted in the construction sector.
