Risk Control Measures

In addition to our preventive approach, we actively implement measures to minimize risks, including:

  • Providing personal protective equipment (PPE) tailored to each worker’s activity and risk level.
  • Conducting safety education talks to reinforce technical knowledge and raise awareness.
  • Using the HIRA6 methodology to develop risk and hazard identification matrices for every activity, ensuring consistent safety procedures. In 2024, we made significant progress on the HIRA matrices for projects in Panama, Ecuador, and the Dominican Republic, with projects in Peru and Nicaragua continuing to be evaluated and improved upon in 2025.
  • Supervisors play a key role in preparing documentation such as permits, Safe Work Analyses (SWAs), and checklists to ensure safety before any activity begins. Employees are encouraged to report incidents and unsafe conditions, fostering a culture of responsibility and timely corrective actions.
  • Regular inspections of key areas help identify and address potential risks, contributing to a safer work environment.

Our Integrated Management System and Sustainability Statement guide our safety culture, proactively identifying and mitigating risks related to electricity, machinery operation, working at heights, lifting operations, confined spaces, and occupational health.

Through these efforts, we aim to ensure the safety and well-being of all employees while continuously striving for excellence in safety management.
