1. Purpose
Article 19 c and d of ILO C155 determines the obligation of companies to implement provisions guaranteeing that:
• The workers’ representatives in the company receive adequate information on the measures taken by the company to guarantee health and safety;
• Workers and their representatives in the company receive appropriate training in occupational safety and hygiene;
In this regard, the countries party to the Convention have implemented their own regulations to ensure that the above provisions are enforced.
As explained in its global health and safety policy, Cosentino’s mission is to go beyond mere legal compliance, and to become a benchmark in the sector in relation to health and safety.
The purpose of this manual is to establish, implement and develop measures for the prevention, protection and control of occupational risks in logistics tasks involving stockpiling, loading of trucks (boxes, platforms or containers) with slabs (Silestone, natural stone and Dekton) elaborated, or other marketing elements, and to set up the necessary channels to guarantee their enforcement.
The procedures described below are considered minimum regulations and they must be enforced without prejudice to other additional measures or specific procedures that could be implemented locally under the supervision of the Health and Safety Department of Cosentino.
