LOPCYMAT
are many questions that arise around this issue, and that every company must have a Safety Program and Occupational Health, which is in line with the LOPCYMAT, which is carried out, which is perhaps the most difficult step in developing a program: The implementation, because a security program is the whole compendium of Security management company takes cabo.Anteriormente called "Program for Industrial Safety and Health", this documentation had been developed based on the Standard or its revision 2260-88 Covenin 2004.

In this series of Standards is expected, an indication of Economic Activities, which will be established as hazardous processes and requirements that are required for accreditation and registration.
