Control de riesgos mecánicos y ergonómico en los procesos de fabricación de la carrocería de buses urbanos para los trabajadores de la Empresa Carrocera M&L de la ciudad de Ambato

Abstract

In the present project, a control of mechanical and ergonomic risks was carried out in the manufacturing processes of urban buses in the M & L bodywork company in order to improve the working environment in the workers. The project began with the analysis of all the manufacturing processes and the activities carried out in them to identify the existing mechanical and ergonomic risk factors that could cause damage to workers' health. For the evaluation of the factors found in the activities with high possibility of risk in the manufacturing processes, the William fine method was used to analyze the mechanical risk factors and the RULA methods, NIOSH equation, OCRA Checklist for the factors of Ergonomic risk. As a result of the evaluation of the mechanical risk it was obtained that 25% of the mechanical factors found in the manufacturing processes need an immediate action while the evaluation of the ergonomic risk we show that 24% of the activities carried out for the manufacture of bodyworks They need immediate action. An occupational risk prevention plan was developed in order to control the mechanical and ergonomic risks existing in the manufacturing processes.
