Las condiciones de seguridad e higiene industrial y su incidencia en la exposición al ruido del personal que labora en la casa de máquinas de la Central Hidroeléctrica Marcel Laniado de Wind del Embalse Daule Peripa

Abstract

This titulation work raises a study of security and industrial hygiene conditions to existing technical and administrative level, the powerhouse of the hydroelectric power station Marcel Laniado de Wind del embalse Daule Peripa. This study builds on the results of the measures sonometrías noise levels 11, 20 and 26 of the powerhouse; the noise dosimetry made to panel builders in the three work shifts of eight hours each, because it considers this position as the largest exposure to levels above 85 dBA; and analysis of audiometric evaluations conducted by staff of the company in the years 2010 and 2012 whose earnings reports warn the existence of workers with diseases related to exposure to noise. To solve this problem, it is proposed to develop a method of preserving hearing and a protocol for medical surveillance, to monitor the level of disease as a result of this risk factor in the staff working in the powerhouse.
