A safe day, will surely will be a great day

El objetivo de cualquier entrenamiento de seguridad laboral es dotar al empleado de conocimiento suficiente para identificar, analizar y entender los riesgos presentes en el ambiente de trabajo y las medidas preventivas que deberá adoptar.  El objetivo para Argenti es claro, queremos que todos lleguen a trabajar y vuelvan a sus hogares cada día sanos y seguros.

For this reason, from the Hygiene and Safety area, we reach all our collaborators with training on various topics, according to the risks they face in their daily work. Each year we schedule approximately 60 training sessions in which more than 1,200 people participate.

We make sure to cover with them all the productive areas of the company: Packaging, Industry, Drying and all the farms. Regardless of how far away they are, we come to each farm to train employees. We know that when an employee has the knowledge and is aware, he can identify the risks in the tasks he performs in his job. In addition, from the area we make sure to comply with current legislation and internal regulations on Occupational Health and Safety.
