Propuesta de normas de seguridad en base a los requerimientos de la planta de asfalto PROCONCI del cantón Portoviejo.

Abstract

This qualification establishes a proposal for safety standards based on the requirements of the Proconci asphalt plant in the Portoviejo canton, in order to diagnose the agents in which the operators are exposed, due to the lack of engineering controls. In order to improve the safety and health of the workers, regulations with legal bases should have been established so that the proposal for the identification of hazards and the evaluation of occupational risks related to the construction process would be carried out, for which part of the process of preparing asphalt mixture are handled at high temperatures and have a degree of toxicity, therefore, when establishing a proposal in the future, the risks in which the handling of said materials are present are determined, this arises from the diagnosis made in the process areas, The personnel who prepare hot asphalt mixtures are exposed to physical, chemical, mechanical and ergonomic risks. Therefore, to understand the management, the first objective was applied to delve into basic concepts in order to apply them within the investigation, in the same way, tools were used to know the occupational risks based on current regulations, the second objective was to determine the types of industrial safety signs to place in the work area in which they are exposed to workers. Therefore, in order to improve the processes and know the management in each one, the third objective was applied, which consisted of proposing a methodology for the evaluation of occupational risks through the safety regulations for the Proconci asphalt plant.
