Análisis de los riesgos mecánicos en el taller mecánico Tecnicentro Moran del cantón Portoviejo

Abstract

This thesis focuses on the analysis of mechanical risks in the Tecnicentro Moran mechanical workshop in the canton of Portoviejo. The study is based on the identification and management of these risks, with the main objective of safeguarding the physical integrity of the operational staff through the implementation of preventive actions. The legal framework of the research is based on several laws and regulations, including Decision 584 of the Andean Instrument of Occupational Safety and Health, the Labor Code, Executive Decree 2393, the IESS Regulation, Resolution 390, and the Constitution of the Republic of Ecuador. These laws and regulations establish the obligations of employers to ensure the safety and health of workers. It was observed that occupational accidents and diseases occur due to a lack of hygiene and safety measures. Workers do not have the necessary equipment to protect themselves during the performance of their daily tasks. This situation highlights the need to implement adequate safety measures in the workshop. Workers have a general lack of knowledge about occupational safety and health regulations. They do not wear appropriate clothing and do not have a comprehensive risk prevention plan. These factors negatively impact the work environment. It is essential that workers are well informed about occupational safety and health regulations and that they are provided with the necessary training to comply with these regulations. Finally, it is recommended to put into practice the Occupational Safety and Hygiene Program proposed in this thesis. This program should be evaluated and adjusted annually to adapt it to future needs or unforeseen events. The implementation of this program can help improve safety and health in the workplace, which in turn can contribute to productivity and worker well-being.
