Evaluación de riesgos laborales mediante la metodología propuesta por el Instituto Nacional de Seguridad e Higiene en el Trabajo en la Empresa Eléctrica Regional del Sur S.A.

Abstract

Abstract: This research project was conducted using the methodology of the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (INSOH) to identify and analyze the risks to which workers at Empresa Eléctrica Regional del Sur S.A. in Loja are exposed. This assessment was applied to ten different positions, including administrative and operational technicians. The following risks were identified: mechanical risks at 34.51%, psychosocial risks at 23.45%, and physical risks at 10.84%. The diagnosed risk levels are as follows: topping the list is the trivial level (T) at 51%, followed by the tolerable level (TO) at 39%, and finally the moderate level (MO) at 10%, with 0% representing the important (I) and intolerable (IN) levels. The results obtained confirm the need to propose control measures that allow for the implementation of preventive actions to reduce the levels of occupational risks identified, thus preventing accidents or illnesses that compromise the well-being and integrity of EERSSA workers.
