FRANCISCO Baragaña
has been presented in Valencia, in a technical conference of the Valencian Institute of Occupational Safety and Health at Work, a new tool for evaluating the ergonomic and psychosocial risk. Can you explain what that tool?
HEREP is a tool through ten questionnaires enables fast and easy and ergonomic hazards in the workplace ranging from climate comfort, noise, ergonomics of the workstation space, the PVD, movement of loads, repetitive movements and evaluation of mental workload, psychosocial factors and satisfaction work. This holistic view of ergonomics and Applied Social Psychology to the workplace greatly facilitates the work of prevention technician and gives you valuable information on it. In addition to being very flexible in its application can pass all the questionnaires at a time or appropriate at all times.
Can you tell us briefly how it was "HEREP" and what are its main advantages?
HEREP is the end result of the collaboration of several companies (BBVA, Iberdrola, Union Fenosa, ELCOGAS, nuclear plants, etc.), but stems from the need to believe in the Technical Area for the Prevention of BBVA as a result of the need for psychosocial risk assessment of this entity. Were created after items (PVD, comfortable climate, movement of loads, etc.) responding to the needs of this organization and acted independently. 
Therefore, in gestation is fundamental HEREP cite D. Antonio Moreno Ucelay of Iberdrola and UMIVALE (Mutual of Accidents and Occupational Diseases), the first to support and contribute decisively undoubted improvements to this project and for hosting the Mutual and develop this idea to make available to their Mutual a powerful tool in its aspect of R & D + i that add value to its partners and allow him to remain the better occupational health manager offering higher quality services.
Regarding the second part of your question saying that the main advantages can be summarized HEREP is a versatile, easy to use that can be applied to all types of companies (it has a specific section for micro-SMEs) and performs a very powerful management of data analyzed. Regarding psychosocial risks for the first time say that correlate with mental workload, psychosocial factors and job satisfaction, which allows the technician to prevent mental load correlate with risk factors derived from psychosocial and job satisfaction what provides invaluable information on the incidence of post work and its organization on the worker. Therefore, in gestation is fundamental HEREP cite D. Antonio Moreno Ucelay of Iberdrola and UMIVALE (Mutual of Accidents and Occupational Diseases), the first to support and contribute decisively undoubted improvements to this project and for hosting the Mutual and develop this idea to make available to their Mutual a powerful tool in its aspect of R & D + i that add value to its partners and allow him to remain the better occupational health manager offering higher quality services. 
is also the first tool to jointly evaluate the responses of technicians and workers, as it allows the questionnaires are answered by both, which enables you to see the job very accurately. Why companies should use this project? As I've told UMIVALE is a mutual accident and occupational disease which is dedicated to the management of occupational accidents, occupational disease and its partners, including the variety of the business of the same very varied, ranging from large enterprises, SMEs, micro and autonomous. Therefore HEREP is a very versatile tool that is applicable to the entire business spectrum associated within its claim to be the best occupational health manager for member companies offering quality services that add value. Today various commercial and Iberdrola, cycads and Martinez Loriente been using this new methodology. Do you know the results of action of the Technical Prevention? will understand I can not give specifics about the results because I owe to the confidentiality rules imposed on me by force, which if I can say is that the data on psychosocial risk is allowing these companies to scientifically address the psychosocial risk management evaluation. However you can contact these companies if they see fit to provide these data.
What are the solutions to the occupational hazard? How important is training the worker? Ojala and know what are the solutions to occupational hazards, but the risks and therefore its prevention is a complex problem that requires multiple solutions, solutions that must be Integraded interact in a general plan of preventive action. However, answering the second part of your question said that the training may be the common denominator for tackling risks and is undoubtedly one of the pillars for the prevention of occupational risks. The training is essential to consolidate a true culture of prevention is the way to be aware that prevention does not begin at the workplace, but in earlier stages, especially in the educational system in its early stages.
For an entrepreneur it is necessary to prevent occupational hazards that might emanate from business, specifically, what are the main responsibilities should be in relation to Occupational Health and Safety?
Art. 14 of the Law on Prevention of Occupational Risks (LPRL) imposes on employers a number of obligations to ensure the safety and health at work, recognizing the worker the right to effective protection in this area.
As stated in the doctrine of corporate liability is an obligation of means and not a performance, so the employer will meet its general obligation to comply with all the specific obligations that it goes through, putting all the necessary means that there is no damage, although they eventually occur and, conversely, fail to fulfill their obligation to breach any of the generic specific obligations, even if there is a harmful result. "
What impact is the breach of the rules of Occupational Health and Safety? what improvements introduced in the legislation regulating the PRL?
Regarding the first part of question to say that Article 42 of the LPRL states that "the failure by employers of their obligations regarding risk prevention will lead to administrative responsibilities and, where appropriate, criminal and civil liability for damages harm that may result from such failure.
Regarding the second part to improvements, and since there is now a good cluster policy, I think it would be necessary to unify criteria on the part of the inspection bodies and define responsibilities for occupational risk prevention throughout the country, strongly enhance Bonus System Rates for Contingency Professionals in companies that invest in training and prevention of occupational hazards and reduce accidents and achieve a differentiation in the rules depending on the size of companies.
