Abstract

Abstract: This study presents a workplace risk assessment of the civil works team of the construction company COMTRADING, at the SKYVIEW TOWERS real estate project located in the canton of Quito. The methodology and risk assessment matrix of the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (INSST) were applied, evaluating 82 workers distributed across different job positions, including foreman, bricklayer, and laborer. Several field inspections were conducted, involving direct observation of work activities. Based on the collected data, risk assessment matrices were developed, identifying the various hazards to which the workers are exposed. Subsequently, a value was estimated according to the probability of occurrence and the severity of the potential harm, resulting in different risk levels (trivial, tolerable, moderate, significant, or intolerable). Once the risks to which the workers are exposed were assessed, different control measures were proposed in order to minimize or eliminate the risk to personnel.
