Gestión técnica de seguridad industrial para el factor de riesgo ruido en los trabajadores de la empresa carrocera Mega Santa Cruz

Abstract

Exposure to noise is an occupational risk factor that can affect workers in the field of industry permanently, considering this as an irreversible long-term health problem. The main objective of this technical project is to technically manage control measures to mitigate these conditions caused by work noise. To develop the methodology, an engineering method described in the International Standard NTE INEN-ISO 9612-2014 was used, where the respective samples were taken for each homogeneous exposure group of the Mega Santa Cruz bodybuilding company, applying the strategy based on function, with the limits established within Executive Decree 2393, where a personal sound exposure meter configured according to the requirements permitted in Ecuador was used. As a result, the analysis and final evaluations gave rise to proposing control measures both at the source, in the environment, and at the worker, according to the previously calculated risk level, where the areas with the highest noise index were indicated in a diagram. technical; These results delved into the workers who exceeded the established limits, in this case 85 dB, leading these proposals to be implemented immediately to avoid any hearing loss problem; and, for a level less than 85 dB (both medium and low), the proposals made will count as a preventive measure since they do not exceed the established limit.
