I drive safetly for my sake, for yours, and for the one of those waiting for us
It is of great importance to Prosegur that our employees drive with caution. For this very reason, Prosegur has named June as its Road Safety month and has launched this global campaign to raise awareness on the issue. Employees' physical integrity, both in their professional and personal lives, is one of the Company's targets. This campaign includes initiatives such as the creation of basic road safety rules, the inclusion of posters and a knowledge test on the subject.
Paz
PAZ (Zero Accident Programme) collects all the driving-related data of employees in Brazil in order to analyse and understand the origin of traffic accidents and to be able to prevent them. Some of the tools to achieve this objective are:
- Tachographs that measure the worker's driving in order to detect training needs for safe driving.
- Distribution of the "Regras de Ouro", both on weapons and road safety, to all workers.
- Management of driving fatigue through worker self-evaluations.
- Recognition programmes for 'exemplary drivers' and reinforcement programmes for drivers who need it.

This system maintains the cycle of continuous improvement, subjecting itself to internal and external control and evaluation, and focuses all the necessary efforts to identify, evaluate and reduce accidents, being the main objective to reduce accident rates to zero.
To this end, Prosegur has established various indicators (KPIs) in accordance with international standards, in order to detect the causes of accidents, as well as their severity or the, age of risk and sex that measure the accident rate on a quarterly basis. The aim of controlling, analysing and preventing the evolution of the accident rate is to gradually approach the aforementioned objective.

- Analysis of accident and accident rate indicators.
- Review of each serious or fatal accident that has occurred, adopting preventive and corrective actions in addition to those taken at local level.
- Monitoring of coverage in the event of serious and fatal accidents in all Prosegur countries.
- Establishment of standards and benchmarks to situate the accident rate in the context of the country and target performance levels for training KPIs.
In the same way, the prioritization of health and safety is extended in relationships with third parties. Therefore, Prosegur has strong systems for coordinating preventive activities to ensure close collaboration with all suppliers in their duties regarding risk prevention in order to guarantee optimal working conditions throughout the supply chain and services received by the Group.
