Abstract

Abstract: This research focused on occupational risk prevention at the Beltrán engine grinding shop, which presents a work environment with constant exposure to hazards and risks inherent to its activities, such as the handling of heavy machinery, chemicals, noise, and repetitive tasks. The level of risk was identified and evaluated in order to establish feasible prevention measures. Risk management was implemented using the INSST Occupational Risk Assessment method, the Technical Prevention Standards (NTP), and the psychosocial risk questionnaire from the Ministry of Labor of Ecuador, in a sample population of 10 workers. The results showed moderate, significant, and intolerable risk levels for the different risk factors evaluated. Based on these results, an occupational risk prevention plan was developed to safeguard the safety and health of the workers. Its implementation will establish safe working conditions.
