Evaluación de riesgos laborales mediante la metodología propuesta por el Instituto Nacional de Seguridad e Higiene en el Trabajo en el Centro de Especialidades Médicas Advance Medical

Abstract

Abstract: Occupational hazards represent threats inherent to the work environment that can lead to physical injury, psychological harm, or other adverse consequences for workers. This study evaluated 10 positions at the Advance Medical Medical Specialty Center using the methodology of the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health. Specific hazards were identified, and the level of risk to which employees are exposed in the performance of their duties was assessed. The results highlighted psychosocial risk factors representing 27% of the identified hazards. Furthermore, the physical therapist position was found to have the highest level of moderate risk (MO), while the clinical laboratory technician had the highest level of significant risk (I), mainly due to the nature of their activities. To mitigate these risks, specific control measures were designed and implemented, tailored to each evaluated position, promoting a safer work environment.
