Description
The technician of group safety gear is responsible for carrying out and organising on the worksite all tasks of assembling, maintenance, adaptation and updating of different protective means and equipment that are used to assure the safety of worksite employees according to the criteria established in the corresponding health and safety plan or at the request of the safety coordinator, the site manager, the risk prevention experts or the worksite director.
Thanks to different factors such as the entry into force of Act 31/1995 on Workplace Risk Prevention, which establishes the company's obligation to take the preventive or protective measures necessary to guarantee workers' health and safety; the entry into force of Royal Decree 1627/1997, which establishes the minimum safety conditions for construction sites; and the progressive awareness of the need to eliminate or reduce the risks of accidents or professional illnesses, this new occupation has been growing, with increasingly specialised professionals in the area of implementing preventive and protective measures in situ that guarantee construction workers' safety.
