Slips and trips accidents, violence of all types, back pain and other work-related health problems lead to private security guards being victim of work-related accidents or reporting temporarily inactive for certain periods of time. This is not a favourable situation for private security guards, private security companies and customers. Private security guards are involved in preventing all types of risks and in serving the security of people, premises, processes and goods.

Tanneries have important risks that must be controlled to ensure the protection of workers. These risks are of various types such as: the use of heavy machinery, the use of manual cutting tools or chemicals during tanning and bleaching. Workers often have to manually manipulate skins and hides and the workplace and storage area is often wet. The European social partners in the field of leather and tanning, IndustriAll and COTANCE, developed this tool that has been adapted to Catalan, as support for small and medium companies.
