Unlike other industries, the banking sector does not present potentially high risks; however, the management system is focused on prevention at both corporate facilities and branches.

Consequently, occupational risk assessments are conducted to identify areas where an eventuality is most likely. The process begins with an assessment of the work area—in this case, a corporate building or a branch—followed by the identification of the different areas comprising these spaces, as well as the personnel who operate them. An assessment is then made of the probability of risk, potential consequences, and damage. Finally, we establish preventive measures to reduce or eliminate the detected risks.

We comply with all safety protocols and ensure the equipment is available to prevent and respond to accidents at corporate facilities and branches.

The Health and Safety system covers 100% of employees. At the same time, various response programs are maintained for potential emergencies in the work areas. This plan is the responsibility of the Crisis Committee, which in turn has support teams composed of twelve regular members and twelve alternates, trained with the necessary equipment to deal with eventualities.

Four evacuation drills were conducted to enable response in times of crisis. The firefighters in San Pedro Sula obtained fire prevention and safety certification from the Fire Department.
