El periodo particular que vivimos nos exige especialmente duplicar los esfuerzos para garantizarles a todos un medio de trabajo sano y seguro.<\/p>\n<p>Durante esta semana, los objetivos de Grupo AGF fueron:<br \/>\n&nbsp;&#8211; mejorar la prevenci&oacute;n,<br \/>\n&nbsp;&#8211; poner en pr&aacute;ctica buenos h&aacute;bitos e intentar nuevas cosas,<br \/>\n&nbsp;&#8211; reforzar los intercambios entre los administradores y los empleados sobre el terreno.<\/p>\n<p>Para hacerlo, se realizaron varias acciones en Quebec y en otras partes de Canad&aacute; como:&nbsp;<br \/>\nel llenado cotidiano de an&aacute;lisis de seguridad de las tareas en las obras;<br \/>\n&nbsp;&#8211; la realizaci&oacute;n de sesiones de estiramientos musculares antes de cada turno de trabajo en todas nuestras divisiones;<br \/>\n&nbsp;&#8211; la limpieza de las f&aacute;bricas en el marco del programa de las 5S que aspiramos terminar antes del 2020 en todas nuestras divisiones en Canad&aacute;;<br \/>\n&nbsp;&#8211; visitas a las obras y a la f&aacute;brica m&aacute;s frecuentemente por parte de los miembros de la direcci&oacute;n. Su objetivo es intercambiar con los empleados en el lugar de trabajo y tambi&eacute;n asegurarse de que las nuevas normas reglamentarias relacionadas con la enfermedad del COVID-19 sean respetadas (por ejemplo, el suministro de un punto de lavado de manos, visera y cubrebocas, etc.).<\/p>\n<h3>Informaci&oacute;n, concienciaci&oacute;n y concurso<\/h3>\n<p>Paralelamente, los empleados de AGF recibieron fichas de informaci&oacute;n sobre temas como la salud mental, alertas de seguridad, los beneficios de una alimentaci&oacute;n equilibrada e incluso el mantenimiento de un ambiente de trabajo seguro.<\/p>\n<p>La semana de la Salud y Seguridad termin&oacute; con el resultado del concurso de dibujo que se lanz&oacute; algunos d&iacute;as antes para que los empleados le den vida a este valor corporativo en su familia.
