AEGC Opinion: "The Civil Guard continues to fail to comply with occupational risks in the province of Alicante"

February 02 from 2023 - 12: 05

The Civil Guard has returned to "tremors" with the arrival of the cold wave that we have been suffering for several weeks in the province of Alicante, with night temperatures touching 0 degrees every night on the coast to -6,5, XNUMX inside. Two years after suffering the intense cold of Filomena and denouncing the lack of heating devices in many of the Benemérita posts in the Alicante province, we are still where we were. If the agents do not want to work in a freezing environment, without gloves, coats, etc. They are the ones who must provide a solution to the problem by taking the heaters from their homes.

This is how they are, for example, in the changing rooms of such important Civil Guard posts as those in San Juan, Xàbia, Altea, Dolores, Callosa del Segura, Pego, Guardamar, Pedreguer and the women's locker room at the Fontnivel prison, where all the components of each unit have to be changed with the current temperatures of less than 10 degrees in winter or more than 28 degrees in summer season.

As an example, these past dawns, at the beginning of the morning and night shifts, in Coastal Units, outside it was barely 5 degrees and the civil guards had to change with the frozen changing rooms and inside the situation worsens .
In the Spanish Association of Civil Guards (AEGC) we do not understand how the Civil Guard, after the experience that Filomena gave us, continues without providing a solution to a problem suffered by agents and citizens.

From AEGC we urge the Civil Guard to put a solution to a problem, which is not new and, therefore, they have known about for years, for the occupational health of the Guards and the well-being of the citizens themselves.

If those responsible for solving these deficiencies think that in a few months there will be no problem because the cold will be gone, AEGC reminds them that heat waves will arrive and agents instead of enduring cold will have to work at more than 35 degrees. Therefore, we consider that the Civil Guard cannot continue to look the other way and let the agents be the ones to remedy it because among their obligations is not to condition their workplace, that is the obligation of the Benemérita.

    How can you tell that the gentlemen of the Spanish association of civil guards are trade unionists and have never had a bad time nor do they intend to. Gentlemen, I don't think you suffer so much from changing your clothes at these temperatures, which are neither that high nor are they low, possibly the same as in the homes of the majority of Spaniards. Why don't they think about leaving their union hours and working like the others and possibly taking some heat or cold from their colleagues???
