Determinar las afectaciones de salud en los trabajadores por las condiciones ambientales en el área de mantenimiento de la empresa CNEL de Esmeraldas

Abstract

Abstract: The purpose of the project was to examine the health effects of environmental conditions in the workplace on maintenance employees at CNEL Esmeraldas. The methodology used was quantitative and descriptive, and the questionnaire was designed to assess environmental conditions for 50 workers. The existing results of environmental factors were noise, vibration, and exposure to high temperatures, which were associated with respiratory difficulties, fatigue, and eye discomfort. Although most personnel receive regular medical checkups and use protective equipment, there are still gaps in specialized medical services and training in their use. In conclusion, it was evident that work environment conditions directly impact workers health. Although the company has implemented certain preventive measures, it is essential to strengthen medical surveillance, improve ongoing training, and conduct more rigorous environmental monitoring to ensure a safer and healthier work environment for the maintenance team.
