/></p> <p>The Cosentino Group has been recognised as one of the leading companies in health and safety policy at the 3rd edition of the Mutua Universal Innovation and Health Awards. The insurance company, partner of the Spanish Social Security system, organises these awards to recognise the work of companies that have used innovative projects to demonstrate a high level of commitment to the development and promotion of safe, healthy workplaces.</p> <p>The event, hosted at the Casino de Madrid, was attended by Carmen Casero, General Director of the Ministry of Employment for Freelance Work and Social Responsibility of Companies, and by Dr. Rafael Matesanz, founder of the National Transplants Organisation.  Jose Luis Calleja, Commercial Director of Cosentino Madrid, represented the company at the event and received the award from Carmen López Hidalgo, provincial director of Madrid INSS, and Miriam Rabaneda, Planning and Research Director of Health Office of Madrid Community.</p> <p>This year four organisations won at the awards, selected from a shortlist of the twenty top contenders from all the candidates put forward this year. Cosentino was a finalist in the ‘Large Companies’ category for its leadership programme ‘Safety by Routines, Leading by Example’, which seeks to integrate health and safety through a series of routines reported through an app (Gensuite) that allows activities to be scheduled, reported and monitored. It is a concrete example of the digitalisation process and use of new technologies at Cosentino, which strengthens the culture of accident prevention and reinforces leadership in health and safety at all levels of the organisation.</p> <p>It should also be noted that the company was recognised by these awards last year for its <em>“Development, Sustainability and Networks”</em> project, a training programme many years in the making; with a goal to share knowledge along the value chain about the appropriate handling and processing of quartz surfaces and other engineered stone surfaces, with a particular emphasis on preventing exposure to silica dust. This programme is still active and will enter a new stage across Spain in 2018 with support from various institutions.</p> <p><img class= April 1, 2018 Categorised in: News
