Alstom receives the ORP 2024 international award for its commitment to health and safety at work in Spain

Alstom, a leader in sustainable and smart mobility solutions, has received one of the ORP 2024 awards in recognition of its commitment to occupational health and safety in its workplaces in Spain. The ORP awards, presented at a ceremony held in Barcelona as part of the ORP Congress, were created 16 years ago to highlight the best initiatives and solutions for people in the world of work and business.

José Manuel Roldón, Head of Occupational Health and Safety at Alstom’s industrial site in Barcelona, received the award on behalf of Alstom Spain. During the presentation, he thanked, "the daily commitment of more than 3,200 employees of Alstom in Spain who allow us to be ever closer to our goal and ambition: zero accidents at work. This objective, which is essential for Alstom, involves all our employees in Spain, but also our collaborators, subcontractors and partners"

The safety and health of all our employees and partners are a priority for Alstom. "We are firmly committed to providing safe, healthy and environmentally friendly workplaces.  In recent years, we have achieved numerous successes. I am sure that everyone’s collaboration, responsibility and commitment will continue to make Alstom an even better company to work for" added José Manuel Roldón.

During the awards ceremony, the importance of Occupational Health and Safety was underlined as an essential factor for the well-being of workers and the sustainable success of organisations. It is not just a matter of complying with rules and regulations, but of creating a culture of prevention based on shared responsibility and the commitment of all the actors involved.

The President of the International ORP Foundation, Hans-Horst Konkolewsky, highlighted the importance of collaboration between all actors involved in Occupational Risk Prevention to create safer and healthier working environments. He emphasised that these awards are not only a recognition to the awarded companies, but also a call to action for all organisations to commit themselves to improve Prevention and Safety at Work in their environments.

The ORP International Foundation, organiser of these awards, has the vocation to recognise the effort, talent and commitment of companies, entities and professionals who stand out in the promotion, development and dissemination of initiatives that contribute to improving well-being in the workplace and optimise the value of people in companies. For this reason, every year, coinciding with the celebration of the ORP International Congress, the ORP International Award is held. These awards recognise organisations that have implemented innovative initiatives and solutions to improve the management of Occupational Risk Prevention and Health and Safety in their work environments. The jury of the International ORP Award is composed of members of the Scientific Committee of the International ORP Foundation representing a dozen universities from America, Asia and Europe.
