General information for workers that have to transfer to work abroad

With this service, from Mutua Universal want to provide processes of externalisation of associated companies of the construction sector . Given that Spanish accident rate indicators are not comparable with other countries, it is a good idea to establish a conversion mechanism to order to use equivalent data provided by non-Spanish companies.

Mutua Universal in collaboration with the National Construction Confederation have developed a comparative study with regard to the systems applied in Spain and in the USA (as a reference country at global level), obtaining a conversion mechanism that takes into account the differences related to the methodology and practices of notification, computation and recording of work-related injuries used by these countries.

By applying this methodology, companies can obtain equivalent indicators, calculated from the official details, in order to convert them into comparable indicators that they would obtain operating in the USA.
