Institute for Occupational Safety and Health in Castilla-La Mancha initiates activities on September 9th

Castilla-La Mancha Government Establishes Institute of Labor Safety and Health

The regional government of Castilla-La Mancha has announced the creation of the Institute of Labor Safety and Health, a move that is being hailed as a historic demand by Comisiones Obreras (CCOO).

The Institute, which will be dependent on the Minister of Economy, Business, and Employment, Patricia Franco, aims to strengthen social dialogue and the collaboration of all involved agents. It will begin functioning immediately after its approval on September 9.

The Regional Council for Labor Safety and Health, a tripartite body, will be established alongside the Institute. The Council will consist of the regional government, unions, and employers' association.

Regional president Emiliano García-Page, UGT's secretary general Lola Alconez, and CCOO's regional secretary Javier Ortega attended the meetings to discuss the new Institute. Javier Ortega emphasized the importance of strengthening social dialogue, working on the axes of the Horizon 2030 Pact, and combating workplace accidents.

Since 2015, the regional government has multiplied by six the budget allocated to labor safety and health in the region. This increased investment is expected to contribute to the reduction of workplace accidents, which has decreased by 8.3% and 6.3% respectively this year.

Lola Alconez, secretary general of UGT Castilla-La Mancha, prioritized addressing workplace accidents and improving social policies, public services, and active employment policies. The meetings also discussed active employment policies to give a response to the most vulnerable collectives such as long-term unemployed or young people.

The first working tables of "Castilla-La Mancha. Horizon 2030" will be convened to address the economic and social progress of the region. Patricia Franco has announced the first working tables for the design of the new 'Castilla-La Mancha, Horizon 2030' pact will be convened this month of September.

However, the search results do not provide information about the person who will be approved by the Cabinet of Castilla-La Mancha on September 9 to lead the Institute for Occupational Safety and Health in the region.

The creation of the Regional Institute of Labor Safety and Health is a significant step towards improving workplace safety in Castilla-La Mancha. The Institute, along with the Regional Council for Labor Safety and Health, will work on raising awareness, prevention, and executing actions in budgetary matters, as well as campaigns on workplace safety.

The Regional Council for Labor Safety and Health will also focus on executing actions in budgetary matters, prevention, and raising awareness, as well as campaigns on workplace safety. The Council will work towards reducing workplace accidents further and improving the rights of all workers in Castilla-La Mancha.

Sadly, five workers have died on the job in Albacete, Castilla-La Mancha this year. The establishment of the Institute and the Council is a positive step towards addressing this issue and ensuring a safer working environment for all.

Social Dialogue in Castilla-La Mancha is considered important by UGT and CCOO to contribute to the development of the community and to improve the rights of all workers. The secretary general of CCOO CLM, as well as the secretaries of Social Dialogue and Organization Raquel Payo and María José Mesas, participated in the meeting with President García.

In conclusion, the creation of the Institute of Labor Safety and Health and the Regional Council for Labor Safety and Health is a significant step towards improving workplace safety and social dialogue in Castilla-La Mancha. The regional government's commitment to increasing the budget for labor safety and health, and the participation of key figures in the labour movement, indicates a strong focus on addressing workplace accidents and improving the rights of all workers in the region.
