Occupational accidents

The year 2007 brought organizational changes to the two production flows, and a dramatic increase in plant output, with the successful start-up of Laguna III.

As a result, efforts to improve working conditions focused on two areas:

• initiatives to support organizational changes, especially the steering of ergonomics management,

• improving managerial approaches and changes to individual behaviour as part of the policy to prevent workplace accidents.
