Análisis de los accidentes laborales en la instalación y mantenimiento de ascensores, identificación y evaluación de factores de riesgo, utilizando la metodología del Instituto Nacional de Seguridad y Salud en el Trabajo (INSST)

Abstract

Abstract: This work analyzes potential occupational accidents that may occur during elevator maintenance. In particular, the risk factors involved are identified and assessed. All of this is done using the methodology of the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health. This work is of utmost importance because it helps ensure not only that elevators operate as intended but also that individuals working on their use and maintenance do so under appropriate operating and working conditions. In the introduction, the critical role of maintaining individual health and safety in the workplace was mentioned. At the same time, a couple of possible solutions for risk minimization are proposed, with a focus on the timescales for implementing these solutions. The hazards that individuals may face in the elevator industry are investigated, and the necessary preventive measures are identified. Furthermore, several national and international articles and regulations are considered critical to ensuring that work is carried out as safely as possible. It is crucial to emphasize that the information gathered in this project also aims to prevent future physical and psychosocial risks that may arise.
