On a professional level, Spanish Law 32/2006 of October 18, regulating subcontracting in the construction sector, established in Article 10 the obligation of obtaining the Construction Professional Card (TPC) for all workers, as of December 31, 2011 as a prerequisite for training on the Prevention of Occupational Risks.
Torrevieja’s Mayor Eduardo Dolon explained that the City Council of Torrevieja is the only place, from now and until December 31, that is offering the opportunity to obtain the Construction Professional Card, which is the document issued by the Construction Education Foundation with the aim of proving, among other things, the sector specific training required by workers in the prevention of occupational hazards in the professional workplace.
Note that the TPC is necessary and indispensable to all workers in the construction (bricklayers, plumbers, carpenters, plasterers, welders, etc.) industry.
