Gestión técnica de seguridad industrial en la Mecánica Industrial DICO-VAL para la prevención de riesgos

Abstract

The industrial mechanics “DICO-VAL", specialized in the recovery of industrial and automotive parts, does not have documentation related to industrial safety such as plans, requirements and technical reports regarding different risk factors that allow the organization to identify, evaluate, control, eliminate and reduce accidents or damages that put the physical integrity of its workers at stake. This is also added to the total ignorance on the part of the operators of the good practices at work, making them execute their tasks in an empirical way completely ignoring the possible dangers that could materialize. For the present project several tools were used in order to find the main problem of the company, among these we have: direct observation, interview to the manager of the mechanics and a list of questions applied to the workers, with all this it is established that the main problem are the mechanical risks Through the research work, the development of industrial safety technical management was proposed as a solution to the problem, following as a guide the Ecuador Model of Industrial Safety Audits which served as the basis for the development of the entire project. It was established that the most critical risks within the production area of mechanics are mechanics with high and notable levels in the processes of welding, lathe machining and milling machine machining. At the same time, there was an absence of: signage, prevention plans, training and documented evidence regarding the surveillance of workers' health.
