- Accident Data: The accident data worsen so much as soon as accidents with decline grow: in 2023 there were 624,911 and in 2024, 628,300, only 0.5% more. “It is an anomaly,” says Sanz, which points to several reasons to explain the increase in deaths: “There are three. One, that we do not have enough resources in labor inspection to monitor, and that is a political decision. Second, that it does not advance in the right training, that many managers know any prevention. And third, which we have taken steps back in the quality of prevention. The deregulation implemented by the Popular Party has created a prevention market,in which the economic cost prevails more than quality.”
- Other specialists: Referring to the aging of the working population as another key cause of this problem.
