BUSINESS MODEL
134
There has been a notable increase in the training
provided to employees in 2013 in the Occupational
Risk Prevention area, reflecting the relevance of the
commitment to employees’ health assumed by the
Group. So much so that training hours increased by 108%
over the previous year and the number of participants
rose by 142%.
As part of the security protocol, emergency drills have
been carried out at the Fuencarral and Villaviciosa work
centres, with the involvement of the local fire brigade. In
addition, grounds of employees have been organised and
trained to act in emergency situations, called emergency
crews, made up of about 35 employees with specific
training in the use of fire equipment and advanced facilities,
with regular annual training. Likewise, evacuation and first-
aid teams have also been set up at the Company’s facilities.
Mediaset España encourages its employees to adopt
healthy life-styles. Activities to promote the practice
of sports, prevent and discourage smoking and alcohol
consumption, prevent and manage stress, among others,
have been planned. Some of these activities have been
formalized in specific programmes such as the scheme
to give up smoking which is free for all employees, or the
maternity protection programme which includes a job
evaluation adapted to the new situation and access to a
reserved parking area, and other factors.
Despite having implemented a comprehensive system
of occupational risk prevention, the possibility always
exists of undesired incidents materialising. In spite of
having implemented all the prevention and control
measures mentioned above, in 2013 the following
incidents arose:
