Edison Next Spain redoubles efforts to protect its workers in the middle of summer.
This summer Spain faces a new record in temperatures. The State Meteorological Agency (AEMET) has already issued several heatwave alerts in more than half of the territory, with highs above 40°C in cities such as Seville, Córdoba, or Palma. An increasingly extreme climate situation that, in 2022 alone, caused more than 4,700 deaths according to the Carlos III Health Institute, and continues to increase the risk of work-related accidents linked to prolonged heat exposure.
Faced with this reality, Edison Next Spain, a company specialized in energy and environmental services, has reinforced its summer safety protocol by acquiring and distributing 251 new smart thermal monitoring bracelets. This preventive solution, which adds to those already deployed in previous years, is designed to protect workers who carry out their work outdoors.
With a considerable investment allocated to acquiring these bracelets, the company has prioritized their distribution in municipalities with the highest thermal records and greatest risk. In Seville and Palma de Mallorca alone, a total of 91 CANARIA+ devices have been distributed, a model developed by Biodata Bank for the early detection of heatstroke. In total, the new bracelets have been deployed in 15 locations across the country, becoming an active protection network during the summer months.
Bracelets like the CANARIA+ continuously monitor internal body temperature and activate an audible alarm if risk thresholds are reached. Their use allows for rapid action at the first signs of heat stress, helping to avoid complications and advancing the response to potential incidents. Additionally, this system includes a log that allows for analyzing previous alerts, improving preventive planning, and adjusting shifts in real time.
The activation of this protocol, driven by Edison Next’s People and Talent area, is an effective response to the obligations companies have regarding prevention against extreme climate phenomena. According to data collected by Edison Next Spain, the bracelets have already recorded around twenty real alerts during their use.
“Caring for our teams is not just a matter of prevention; it is a way of understanding the company culture we want to build,” state the People and Talent team at Edison Next Spain, “Especially in summer, we want each of our workers to feel that they are not alone against the heat and that they can trust that the company is by their side to protect them.”
In addition to the use of bracelets, the protocol includes frequent breaks, shift modifications in the event of a red or orange AEMET alert, permanent access to water and hydration, and continuous monitoring of the situation by prevention officers. Increasingly, in more companies, this type of measure has ceased to be a one-off response and is now part of their active prevention policy, based on the ever more necessary protection of their human team.
