The General Council of Industrial Relations and Labour Sciences of Spain (CGRICT)<\/strong> is a recognised statutory professional body, equivalent in standing to a Royal Chartered Institution, representing the professional colleges
of Industrial Relations and Labour Sciences across Spain. Through its Honours and Awards Committee, the
PREVER Commission, the CGRICT confers its own system of distinctions \u2014 Medals, Encomiendas and Honorary
Diplomas \u2014 upon individuals and organisations of exceptional merit. These honours follow the protocol and
nomenclature of civil orders of merit and represent the highest distinction the Council may confer, in recognition
of outstanding contribution to occupational safety and health, labour sciences, and the advancement of society.
Orders of Civil Merit \u2014 Origin and Meaning
Civil orders of merit are official distinctions conferred by a State to honour individuals \u2014 national or foreign \u2014
who have rendered extraordinary services in civilian life: in science, culture, diplomacy, public administration,
or service to society. Their roots lie in the medieval Orders of Chivalry, which were originally military and
religious in nature. Over centuries, monarchies transformed them into instruments of civil recognition, valuing
personal merit above lineage. A landmark moment was the creation of Spain’s Order of Charles III in 1771,
which formally enshrined the principle of merit as the basis for distinction.
Today, these decorations carry no financial reward \u2014 only social prestige, protocol honours, and the right to
wear the insignia at official and ceremonial occasions.
The Encomienda (Commander’s Cross for Distinguished Services)
An intermediate grade within a civil order, awarded in recognition of significant merit or distinguished service.
Its insignia is a cross or jewel of the order suspended from a ribbon worn around the neck \u2014 known as a
corbata \u2014 or, for women, pinned to the left shoulder in a bow. It is the first grade that permits a neck insignia,
placing it above standard chest medals in protocol hierarchy.
The Encomienda con Placa (Commander’s Cross with Star for Distinguished Services)
A superior grade to the Encomienda, generally limited to a fixed number of living holders, conferring greater
institutional prestige. It carries two insignia worn simultaneously: the neck cross of the Encomienda, and a
radiant star \u2014 typically in gold or silver \u2014 bearing the emblem of the order, worn on the left breast. In the
hierarchy of Spanish civil orders such as the Order of Isabella the Catholic or the Order of Civil Merit, it ranks
immediately below the Grand Cross, reserved for the highest levels of state and exceptional lifelong service.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The General Council of Industrial Relations and Labor Sciences (CGRICT), aware of the importance of occupational risk prevention in the world of Industrial Relations, created a series of awards in 1998 called \u00abPREVER,\u00bb based on the Spanish saying \u00abit is better to foresee what has not happened than to argue about what has happened.\u00bb Thanks to the collaboration of the General Directorates of Labor and Occupational Risk Prevention of the different Autonomous Communities, the National Institute of Safety and Hygiene at Work, and the European Agency for Safety and Health, year after year, they have become a benchmark in occupational risk prevention in our nation and the European Union.<\/p>
