Learning from incidents or LFI is vital to achieving our goals: zero harm and zero
fatal victims. That is why we must report and investigate all incidents to find out
What happened?, How did it happen? and Why?, in this way we ensure to identify all
the factors that influenced, verify how effective the controls were, identify

That's why we ask you to actively support 'Learning From Incidents / LFI', report
quickly and faithfully all dangerous situations and incidents, concrete and potential.
Share the incident reports with the entire organization, discuss and analyze it
team learning, implement the recommended improvements, attend the training sessions
by learning from incidents, subscribe to the biweekly HPI report which means
High Potential Incidents and take the time to review it and take action.
With these actions, you will help us achieve our goals:
ZERO DAMAGE and
ZERO FATAL VICTIMS

Don't forget that reporting incidents is very important and how you should do it.
It will depend on the operation you are in.
In the modules associated with each operation, we will see which channels you should use.

Risk
It is the effect of uncertainty on expected goals:
An effect is a deviation from what is expected, either positive or negative.

Risk Management

who lose their lives, that is, unwanted events, those that don't let us sleep in the

The good news is that we have the way to do it 'Operational Risk Management'
(ORM) is the integrated risk management that we carry out at the operational level in reality.
It is not completely new; operational risk management is complemented by others.

CAPA 4 Todos
Our goal is for everyone to stop and think before carrying out a task, in order to
execute it efficiently and without causing damage, doing the right job, in the
opportune moment and in the right way.
We will achieve this by planning our tasks. This means knowing what they are.
specifications on how we should carry out the work correctly, identifying its
hazards and associated control measures.
Added to this, we must follow a clear schedule of our tasks, which means
know where and when we must carry them out.
This way we will become a competent team, with a clear understanding of the risks and their
controls, counting on planned working methods and appropriate equipment for the
tasks, in a safe and productive work environment.
Each one of us can stop a job if it represents an uncontrolled risk.
We are all leaders in safety.
In addition, you must know and deeply understand all the risks associated with the
activities you are going to carry out, this is very important.
In Chilean law, there is Supreme Decree No. 40 which establishes that the employer
must inform its workers at the time of their hiring, or in
in case of starting activities that involve risks, about the risks involved in their work,
preventive measures and the correct working methods.
In case the activity to be performed involves specific risks, these will be communicated in
set with its preventive measures, and the correct working methods by area
responsible prior to the start of the activity.
It is very important that you are aware of all the risks associated with your tasks beforehand.
to start carrying them out, we call this DAS which stands for Right to Know and it is not only
a legal compliance, but rather a fundamental step that aligns with our
zero harm mentality.
Don't forget that there are risks associated with each of our operations, areas, and tasks.
No matter the pressure you have, your safety is the most important.
Everything we have seen in this module is directly related to the three principles of
our security, health and environment policy, SHE WAY. Its purpose is to
