The initiative, spanning the summer months, will involve direct site visits to inform and oversee the application of necessary preventive measures. These actions are targeted at the more than 12,000 construction sector workers in Granada.
Key measures to be reviewed include access to sun protection, supply of fresh water, availability of shaded or air-conditioned areas, work organization to schedule strenuous tasks during cooler hours, and adherence to the intensive workday planned from July 1 to August 30.
Angustias Díaz, general secretary of CCOO del Hábitat de Granada, noted that companies may implement additional measures, such as schedule modifications or even halting operations during extreme temperatures, in compliance with occupational risk prevention regulations.
Díaz mentioned that although the Labor Inspectorate reported non-compliance in occupational health within the construction sector in 2025, most companies now have specific protocols for high temperatures. Last year, CCOO del Hábitat de Granada processed over 38 complaints.
The CCOO campaign impacts 12,120 workers. In 2025, 866 accidents occurred in the sector province-wide, though none could be directly linked to heat. As of April 2026, 478 accidents have been recorded, 101 of which were 'in itinere' (commuting accidents), highlighting the ongoing need to advance in occupational risk prevention.
