Bridgestone Costa Rica has a Health and Safety Commission, which is composed of eight members (four representatives from the company and four workers from the plant). The goal of this commission is to promote safety guidelines, ensuring that the organization complies with all occupational health laws.
During 2016, the company coordinated safety training sessions and meetings in order to analyze risks posed by machinery and equipment, decrease safety hotspots at the plant, and monitor measures taken to prevent the occurrence or recurrence of accidents and incidents. Furthermore, campaigns were organized to identify and reduce the number of mosquito breeding grounds, both at the plant and at the homes of the company’s employees.
