ABSTRACT
Health and safety training plans are one of the most powerful tools to prevent occupational accidents. SAMUR-Protección Civil is the medical emergencies and civil protection of Madrid council and is composed of state workers and volunteers group. Since 2012, the volunteers group has taken an annual education plan about H&S. There was an annual compulsory course and also the rest of courses implement H&S into all the topics. All of that improved the safety culture into the volunteer group and promoted an important depletion of the volunteers’ accidents. It is important to prevent altruistic activities from generating health damages that reduce capacity and affect the volunteers’ quality of life.
