Evaluación de riesgos laborales en la empresa Metrored Servicios Médicos con el método GTC 45

Abstract

Abstract: This thesis aimed to evaluate occupational risks at Metrored Medical Centers through the application of the GTC-45 methodology, identifying hazards in administrative, healthcare, and support areas, and determining the level of risk associated with each activity. The research, with a descriptive and quantitative approach, was based on direct observation and verification checklists, which enabled the development of a comprehensive diagnosis of biological, chemical, physical, ergonomic, and psychosocial risk factors. The findings revealed that the most significant risks were linked to exposure to biological agents, ergonomic workload, and ionizing radiation, requiring the implementation of immediate control measures. In response, prevention strategies were proposed following the hierarchy of controls, prioritizing continuous staff training, proper use of personal protective equipment, and the updating of biosafety protocols as well as engineering and administrative controls. This study contributes to strengthening occupational health and safety management in the healthcare sector, serving as both an academic and practical reference to foster a culture of prevention.
