Riesgos mecánicos en los procesos productivos de la empresa SEGUVID

Abstract

This research work is developed in the production processes of the company SEGUVID, located in the parish Augusto Martinez, in the city of Ambato, province of Tungurahua, a manufacturing company which is dedicated to the manufacture of tempered glass. The study is based on the identification, estimation and valuation of existing mechanical risks in the production processes, since there are several risk factors and sources of danger that generate damages or injuries to the employees who collaborate in the proper development of the activities in the company. The results obtained from the identification of hazards and risk estimation in the production processes and by means of the Triple Criteria Matrix PGV are as follows: 596 hazard sources of which 56 (9%) are physical, 7 (1%) chemical, 54 (9%) biological, 111 (19%) ergonomic, 101 (17%) psychosocial, 56 (9%) major accidents and 211 (35 %) are within mechanical. On the other hand, according to risk level there are 361 (60.57%) moderate, 218 (36.58%) major and 17 (2.85%) are intolerable. The NTP 330 methodology was used to evaluate 12 intolerable mechanical hazards, which resulted in 50% of them having an intervention level I, i.e. a critical situation that requires urgent corrections, while the other 50% have an intervention level II, which according to the methodology requires correction and the adoption of control measures. Therefore, for the control of these risks it is suggested to review the mechanical risk prevention program developed in the industrial safety plan. Finally, for risk control and as a preventive action, an industrial safety plan is prepared, which contains information about the company, risk assessment methods and a series of programs and procedures that contribute to the proper development of activities in the production area.
