The call aims to obtain detailed reports on the corrective measures being implemented following the death of two workers in April and the recent operational incidents this month.
At the express instruction of Governor Claudio Vidal, through the ministries of Energy and Mining, Labor, Employment and Social Security, and Security, it is expected that the company's representatives will provide a comprehensive report on the corrective actions taken.
