About Instituto de Seguridad del Trabajo

The Instituto de Seguridad del Trabajo, IST, is the first employer mutual founded in Chile in 1957 with the aim of clearly incorporating concepts of prevention, medical attention, rehabilitation, and solidarity responsibility. The values that inspire us are respect, warmth, empathy, and persistence, generating long-term alliances with our adherents, offering them dedicated attention in matters of care, prevention, and occupational health, according to their needs. We are administrators of the mandatory insurance against work accidents and professional diseases, which is regulated by law No. 16.744. Our objective is to implement good preventive practices always centering on people, who are the soul of organizations. For this reason, we co-construct plans and programs with our adhering companies aimed at protecting life within the company.
