The Poio Council has established the Committee for Safety and Health, a parity body to foster municipal staff participation in occupational risk prevention and enhance working conditions.

The Poio Council has launched the Committee for Safety and Health, a key body for municipal staff participation in occupational risk prevention and the improvement of working conditions. The establishment of this committee reinforces the local government's commitment to the safety, health, and well-being of public employees.
This body, which equitably integrates representatives from the Council and the staff, includes the participation of Mayor Ángel Moldes, and councilors Marcial García (Works and Services), Maritxe González (Security and Economic Promotion), and Tucho Muíños (Personnel), alongside union and worker representatives.
The main objective is to create a continuous space for dialogue and collaboration to identify risks, propose improvements, and implement preventive measures across all municipal services. This initiative complies with the 1995 Law on the Prevention of Occupational Risks and reaffirms the government's commitment to building a more responsible Administration dedicated to labor rights.
The creation of this committee is part of a broader plan for modernizing the municipal Administration, which also includes the recent modification of the Staffing Structure (RPT). Both actions aim for a more agile, efficient administration adapted to current needs, combining organizational structure improvements with enhanced prevention and worker participation.
