Política de Seguridad y Salud en el Trabajo
Summary
The document outlines Transforma's Occupational Health and Safety Policy, based on Colombia's Decree 1072 of 2015. It mandates pre-occupational and periodic medical exams tailored to job roles (office, field, drivers, food handlers), requires the use of personal protective equipment provided by Transforma, and specifies vaccination requirements for certain risks. It also defines work accidents and occupational diseases, establishes protocols for public safety hazards, and requires proof of social security and ARL payments from contractors.
Key insights
- Transforma requires all consultants to undergo a pre-occupational medical examination before signing a service contract, with the cost borne by the contractor. This requirement is waived for contracts shorter than 3 months if the consultant provides an exit exam from their previous employer. These exams are valid for up to three years, provided the highest risk factor is assessed, but must be repeated if the contractor status is lost for more than six continuous months.
- Periodic medical evaluations are mandatory and vary by role: office staff require osteomuscular and optometry exams; field staff or those traveling outside Bogotá require osteomuscular, optometry, and audiometry exams; drivers must add laboratory tests (glycemia, hemogram, lipid profile) and psychosensometric evaluations; and food handlers require dermatological exams, KOH of nails, throat swabs, and coprological tests.
- Transforma is responsible for providing personal protective equipment (PPE) to its contractors to ensure the safe development of activities and to prevent health damage, in accordance with Decree 1072 of 2015.
- Specific health and safety certifications are required for high-risk activities: workers performing safe work at heights must provide a valid competency certification, and those entering areas with yellow fever vectors or using equipment that may cause cuts must provide vaccination certificates for yellow fever and tetanus, respectively.
- Contractors are required to provide proof of payment for the integral social security system and parafiscal obligations, including Health, Pension, and ARL (Administradora de Riesgos Laborales), either at the start of the contract or when submitting payment requests.
