Evaluación de riesgos laborales mediante la metodología propuesta por el Instituto Nacional de Seguridad e Higiene en el Trabajo

Abstract

Abstract: This study assesses occupational hazards at SEDEMI, a company dedicated to the manufacturing and assembly of metal structures, using the methodology of the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (INSHT). Occupational hazards present in key work areas: assembly, welding, and supply were identified and classified, highlighting the prevalence of chemical and ergonomic hazards in welding and mechanical hazards in assembly. Using the methodology applied, risks were assessed according to their probability and severity, and control measures such as ventilation systems, machinery guards, and training were implemented, achieving a significant reduction in critical risks. This study contributes to strengthening occupational safety at SEDEMI and provides a replicable model for other organizations in the industrial sector. The results highlight the importance of proactive risk management and the organizational commitment to occupational health and safety.
