Elaboración de un programa de control de riesgos laborales para la prevención de caídas en alturas en obras de construcción para la empresa GLS Construcciones S.A.

Abstract

Abstract: Falls from heights are one of the leading causes of serious injuries and deaths in the construction industry. The lack of robust preventive programs, inadequate training, and the lack of use of personal protective equipment (PPE) are some of the main recurring concerns in the industry. The purpose of this thesis is to develop an occupational risk control program focused specifically on the prevention of accidents due to falls from heights for the company GLS Construcciones S.A. To this end, extensive research has been conducted, including employee surveys to identify deficiencies in the use of PPE and safety training. It is concluded that it is a fundamental requirement to establish a prevention program with control measures and operational procedures to ensure the safety of personnel and compliance with national standards. The program, based on a risk identification and assessment matrix, contributes significantly to the continuous improvement of occupational health and safety conditions in the construction industry.
