"PREVENCIÓN DE RIESGOS LABORALES" IN ENGLISH?

I recently got a request from one of my followers about how to translate "prevención de riesgos laborales". The best way to translate this issue is to use: "health and safety".

In the UK, we are obsessed with the idea of "health and safety" and when you get a new job you almost always need to go to a "health and safety" presentation to make sure that you are aware (consciente) of all the potential risks and how to avoid them. Is "health and safety" a big issue in Spain? Let me know!

I hope this post has helped you with your English. If you need a little more help to AVOID making Spanglish mistakes then you can check out my book on Amazon.es

Buenos días Daniel, en España la ley obliga igual que en UK a analizar y corregir los riesgos en el puesto de trabajo, formación, etc... pero los trabajadores e incluso las propias empresas en mi criterio no tienen el mismo interés en este tema de forma general.
Tan solo hay que ver la importancia que tienen los Técnicos de PRL en España y en UK.

Good morning Daniel, in Spain the law forces the same as in the UK to analyze and correct the occupational risks in the workplace, training, etc ... but the workers and even the companies themselves in my opinion do not have the same interest in this topic generally.
We just have to see the importance of PRL technicians in Spain and the UK.!!

Best regards.
