Brand and provincial institution
The SRT’s information identifies Caja Popular de Ahorros de la Provincia de Tucumán. PopulART is the name used on the institution’s website for occupational cover; it should not be counted as an additional insurer. This function is also distinct from Caja Popular’s other products and services and from a provincial employer operating under self-insurance.
Covered groups and geographical context
Institutional information describes general-scheme affiliations in the public and private sectors and domestic employment in Tucumán. Published portfolio figures have reference dates and should not automatically be treated as current totals. Being a provincial ART does not mean that every resident or worker in the province is insured: employer identity, affiliation and the applicable scheme remain relevant.
Separate assistance processes
The portal distinguishes customer enquiries, emergencies and reports, medical coordination and scheduled transport. It also provides an accident reporting form and a complaints channel. These separate functions help direct information to the appropriate service. A contractual enquiry serves a different purpose from notifying an accident or arranging treatment.
Prevention by activity and exposure
The preventive area publishes separate surveys for agriculture, industry and construction, as well as construction notices and lists of exposed workers. It links to the national surveillance system for carcinogenic substances and agents and provides visual materials. Training resources include Prevenir programme seminars. Employers need documents that reflect their activities and exposures, rather than generic records that conceal particular hazards.
Insurance and preventive responsibility
Affiliation to an ART arranges the cover provided under Law 24,557; it does not transfer day-to-day workplace management to the insurer. Employers retain their duties to assess and control risks, inform and train workers and comply with occupational health and safety requirements. Benefits relate to work-related contingencies covered by the scheme, subject to the applicable determination and review procedures.
