Prevention of accidents or injuries is the key element in protecting our most valuable asset: our people. That is why MIT has various mishap prevention and emergency readiness programs that include Professional Training, Safety Promotion as well as accident investigations.

MIT is a member of local and international organizations that work towards accident prevention, such as: The Council of Health, Safety and Environment of Panama and the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA).

Additionally, an Emergency Response Team, which works through the MIT Industrial Safety Department, is on call 24 hours a day to manage incidents and emergencies, including medical first aid, hazardous materials spills, fire and environmental pollution. The Industial Safety Department is certified under ISO 9001:2000 standards since April 2004.

Finally, clinic and medical transport services are provided to MIT employees.
