Riesgos mecánicos en el área de estructurado de la empresa Carrocerías Pérez

Abstract

The purpose of this research project entitled "Mechanical risks in the structured area of the company Carrocerías Pérez" is to identify, estimate and evaluate the existing mechanical risks in the structured area of the organization, since there are currently several inherent sources of danger and risk factors that can cause damage or injury to workers who carry out their work activities. The results found in the study show that in the company's production process there are 1428 sources of danger, of which 90 (6.30%) are physical, 65 (4.55%) are chemical, 148 (10.36%) are biological, 299 (20.94%) are ergonomic, 275 (19.26%) are psychosocial, 150 (10.50%) are major accidents, 401 (28.08%) are mechanical. On the other hand, according to the risk estimation carried out, there are 870 (60.92%) moderate risks, 475 (33.26%) major risks and 83 (5.81%) intolerable risks in the entire production process. Specifically in the structured area and with respect to mechanical risks, it was found that there are 101 sources of mechanical hazards, of which 36 are moderate risks, 49 are important risks and 16 are intolerable risks. The latter were considered for the risk assessment, using the GTC-45 methodology, because they are more dangerous. In this sense, 6.25% of the intolerable risks need an intervention level I, i.e. it is a critical situation and requires urgent corrections; while 43.75% have an intervention level II, so it is necessary to adopt or correct control measures, on the other hand, 50% of these risks have an intervention level III, i.e. they can be improved. Finally, for risk control and preventive action, an industrial safety plan is proposed, which contains information on the organization, methods for risk assessment and a series of procedures and programs that will contribute to the proper and safe development of operations in the structured area.
