    Gestión de riesgos mecánicos en la empresa Millpolímeros para la prevención de accidentes en el trabajo.

    This study was developed to provide Millpolimeros with a technical proposal aimed at strengthening the management of mechanical risks present in its production processes. The research arose from the need to prevent workplace accidents associated with the use of machinery and equipment, as well as to improve safety conditions for operational personnel. To this end, a detailed analysis of the work environment was carried out, combining qualitative and quantitative methods that allowed for understanding both current practices and workers' perceptions of existing hazards. In the analysis of production tasks, various activities related to mechanical equipment and operations were reviewed, identifying multiple hazards that directly affect worker safety. Among the most relevant findings, it was determined that several of these activities present risk levels that require immediate intervention, especially those related to moving parts, power transmission, and materials handling. The assessment carried out using the William T. Fine method showed that certain risks exceed acceptable limits, while others are only tolerable under strict controls. Finally, the need to implement concrete actions to reduce mechanical risks and address safety deficiencies identified throughout the study is highlighted.

    Gestión técnica de riesgos mecánicos, y prevención de accidentes laborales en el área de producción de la empresa M&M PLASTICOTOPAXI
    (Universidad Técnica de Ambato. Facultad de Ingeniería en Sistemas, Electrónica e Industrial. Carrera de Ingeniería Industrial en Procesos de Automatización, 2022-09) Campaña Constante, Marco Andrés; Guachimbosa Villalba, Victor Hugo
    Currently, protecting the health of workers is not a luxury, but an obligation that must be constantly observed and controlled, therefore, this research aims to conduct an analysis of occupational hazards, having as a priority the mechanical risks of the production area of the company. M&M PLASTICOTOPAXI, being a manufacturing company dedicated to the manufacture of plastic covers, which does not have a technical management of occupational risks and by carrying out processes that involve the use of industrial machines, is continuously exposed to accidents and incidents that put the lives of its collaborators at risk. In order to know the current situation of the company, information gathering tools were used, such as interviews, surveys, observation sheets and information gathering sheets for each work center, where it was determined that it does not comply with certain legal safety requirements. The PGV (Probability, Severity, Vulnerability) method was used to identify hazards and estimate risks, resulting in a total of 328 estimated risks, of which 15 are intolerable risks, since they present a critical situation and require urgent corrections; there are also 150 major risks that need to be managed with control procedures and 163 moderate risks. The NTP 330 Method was applied in order to assess the risks, this allowed to know their level, i.e., from level I which urgently need to be corrected, to level IV of lesser importance that do not need to be intervened. Finally, a safety plan was drawn up to implement and integrate accident prevention within the company, establishing the objectives, policies, responsibilities of personnel within the organization, risk assessments, preventive planning and procedures, which will help minimize the potential risks to which workers are exposed.
