Development of management systems and standards for high-risk tasks under ICMM methodology.
Over the past decade, companies have faced a significant challenge: controlling fatal risks. Various methods like ISO 31000, OHSAS 18001, and ISO 45000 have been implemented to address this issue. However, these methodologies failed to provide an effective solution to the global risk management problem.
For this reason, in 2016, a methodology led by ICMM (International Council on Mining and Metals) was launched, created with resources from several leading mining companies. This methodology has demonstrated the best results in eliminating fatalities and improving production processes through operational excellence..
Some of the companies that have implemented the methodology with positive results and are members of the council are:
The implementation of a Risk Management System for Major & Minor Risks, based on documentation development, is crucial for any organization seeking to improve its efficiency, safety, and regulatory compliance. This approach focuses on creating and maintaining documents that establish clear guidelines and responsibilities for task execution.
The importance of this project lies in several key aspects: Process Standardization, Regulatory Compliance, Continuous Improvement, Training and Development & Informed Decision Making.
It aims to implement a globally proven methodology meeting the highest international standards, developed and implemented by a team with extensive experience in documentation development for the promotion and prevention of Major & Minor Risks.

Proper contractor management allows for selecting suppliers with the necessary competencies, managing associated risks, and ensuring that work is completed within established deadlines and budgets.Additionally, it facilitates communication and coordination between the company and contractors, ensuring compliance with quality standards and minimizing potential conflicts. Ultimately, good contractor management contributes to the overall success of projects and strengthens the company's reputation and competitiveness in the market.
This is why we have created a Contractor Management model that ensures not only a successful selection but also guarantees the processes executed by the contractor company, thereby safeguarding the civil liability of the client company.
▪Accreditation Process:
Planning, structuring, and validating the selection and accreditation process of contractors according to the scope of their contract concerning legal, technical, regulatory, and internal requirements of the client, ensuring the contractor's suitability in managing and controlling their risks during the contract execution. This validates the suitability and authenticity of documents for people, equipment, and company.
▪Occupational Health and Safety Audit Process:
This process verifies compliance with legal requirements associated with occupational health and safety, regulatory and client-specific requirements (if applicable); creation of action plans with follow-ups to achieve 100% compliance.
Through our own process, we help control and implement preventive measures to protect the health of workers. This includes diseases, any type of accidents, and all factors that may endanger the life, health, or safety of employees.
Our Process Phases:
Through a planning and preparation process, we aim to ensure that the organization can continue its core productive activities during a disruptive event based on its ability to safeguard the interests of all stakeholders.
We define three pillars to ensure the success of this process:
Analysis and investigation of accidents under the ICAM methodology.
Conducting a thorough investigation of high-potential accidents is crucial to preventing future incidents and improving workplace safety. An in-depth investigation identifies the root causes of the accident, not just the symptoms, allowing for effective corrective measures and preventing recurrence. This process also helps identify weaknesses in existing procedures and safety systems, fostering a culture of continuous improvement. Involving all organizational levels in the investigation promotes a culture of safety and shared responsibility. Documenting and analyzing these incidents provides valuable data for employee training and awareness, strengthening risk management and reducing costs associated with workplace accidents. In summary, a detailed investigation of high-potential accidents is essential to safeguard workers' integrity and the company's operational sustainability. Therefore, we have created a practical way to support our partners through experts with extensive experience in conducting such investigations under the ICAM methodology.
We design a mechanism under which companies can implement certification processes for specific job competencies related to activities or processes developed within them. Supported by national legislation under Decree 154 of February 11, 2021, which regulates the operation of UVAE in Colombia and accredits companies technically for setting up their training areas within their own facilities with the experience of their workers in each area of interest.
For any company, regardless of industry type, having a healthy lifestyle program is vital as it promotes the physical and mental well-being of employees, leading to increased productivity, reduced absenteeism, and lower medical care costs.
We have developed a program that promotes healthy habits such as physical activity, balanced nutrition, and stress management, helping our partners not only improve the quality of life of their employees but also create a more positive and motivating work environment. Additionally, this program boosts morale and commitment, reducing turnover and attracting talent.
Our programs are based on five pillars:
Recognizing that physical activity is essential for maintaining physical and mental health, improving quality of life, and preventing chronic diseases, as well as increasing energy, reducing stress, and improving mood, we identify activities that promote this process for our partners:
⮚Yoga with stretching
⮚Pilates
⮚Dance
⮚Physical conditioning (circuit): strength and endurance
⮚Bodycombat class
Mental Health
Mental health in the workplace is crucial for optimal performance, job satisfaction, and preventing burnout and stress. Promoting a work environment that fosters mental well-being reduces absenteeism, improves productivity, and strengthens organizational culture, creating an environment where employees feel valued and supported. Therefore, we offer interactive training aimed at improving employees' mental health, focusing on topics such as:
| Time Management | Prevention of Alcohol and Substance Abuse |
|---|---|
| Emotional Management | Mental Pathology Secondary to Chronic Health Conditions |
| Suicide Prevention | Identification of Domestic Violence Behaviors |
| Grief Management | Use of Technological Tools (prevention of abuse) |
Interactive Activities Led by Specialized Professionals:
Promoting health at work through interactive activities is crucial to increase awareness and active participation of employees in preventing occupational risks. Interactive activities, such as simulations, practical workshops, and role-playing exercises, allow workers to experience and better understand safety and health concepts in a controlled environment. This not only facilitates information retention but also fosters practical and applied learning that can be directly transferred to daily routines. Additionally, these activities promote teamwork and communication, strengthening the safety culture within the organization and contributing to a safer and healthier work environment.
Healthy Eating Workshop
Conducting healthy eating workshops is crucial to educating about balanced nutrition, preventing diet-related diseases, and improving quality of life. These workshops promote positive eating habits, reduce obesity risks, and promote overall well-being. Therefore, we offer a workshop aimed at educating through interactive methods on conscious eating, designing real menus accessible to all, to facilitate voluntary adoption by participants, in sufficient quantities according to age and metabolic requirements.
Cultivating leaders within the organization promotes an environment of innovation and proactivity, where employees feel empowered to take on responsibilities and propose improvements. This not only enhances individual and collective performance but also ensures the continuity of knowledge and stability during times of change or transition. EGEM proposes, through its training plan, to strengthen the visible leadership of its executives, managers, coordinators, supervisors, and contractors, to achieve zero injuries and illnesses within the organization through three fundamental premises
The importance of good legal representation for a company in cases related to health is crucial for protecting its interests and reputation, minimizing financial risk, and ensuring compliance with legal regulations.
Additionally, good legal representation can help the company manage communication and public perception, reduce the likelihood of sanctions or fines, and ultimately resolve the dispute more efficiently and favorably. This not only safeguards the company's resources but can also prevent future litigation by identifying and correcting potential flaws in its health and safety practices.
At EGEM, we have a pool of specialized lawyers and doctors with extensive experience in these types of cases.
Our services include evaluating the claim, designing a robust defense strategy, and representing the company in negotiations and judicial procedures related to Occupational Health and Safety.
