Diseño de un plan de emergencia para el centro de salud Altamira en la ciudad de Manta

Abstract

The objective of this research was to design an emergency plan for the Altamira Health Center in the city of Manta, for which field research was used, which consisted of collecting data directly from the scene of the events. Bibliographic and descriptive research was used to collect information on an emergency plan. Through direct observation, information collection techniques and instruments were applied, such as the checklist of occupational health and safety obligations for companies with 1 to 10 workers, the Hospital Safety Index (ISH) evaluators' guide. and the Simplified Risk Assessment Method (MESERI). The results showed that the health center has a high probability that the structural component does not function at 59%, in terms of its non-structural safety, it has a high probability of functioning at 59%, while in its functional capacity, the establishment has a high probability of operating at 60%. The risks of the facilities in the health center were evaluated, determining that in the structure, the level of destructibility is low since they have a good ventilation system that is favorable for both heat and smoke, in addition to the nearest fire station. It is located 2.9 km. To reduce potential risks, an emergency plan was designed describing the actions and procedures for the personnel who work at the Altamira health center.
