Territorial impulse program in PRL
The IRSST promotes a technical advice program on occupational risk prevention to local entities
The Regional Institute of Safety and Health at Work of the Community of Madrid (IRSST) is the public entity that manages the safety and health policy at work in our autonomous community, both in the Public Administrations and in the business sectors implemented in our community.
Within the framework of the VI Master Plan for Occupational Risk Prevention of the Community of Madrid 2021-2024, the need for the IRSST to play a proactive role in promoting the prevention of occupational risks at all levels is established.
In particular, it defines the need to carry out coordination actions with Madrid city councils. In this sense, it is essential to continue increasing and improving collaboration and coordination with local administrations in general and especially with those that have less than 20.000 inhabitants in their municipalities.
In order to promote the role of the IRSST both in the field of occupational risk prevention and in the territory as a whole, the IRSST has been developing a project since 2022 to promote the prevention of occupational risks in the territorial scope of the Community of Madrid.
To do this, you are subscribing collaboration agreements with Madrid city councils for the development of specific activities regarding the prevention of occupational risks in municipally owned workplaces.
If you want your municipality to participate in the project, you can contact us by phone 900 713 123 or in emails:
