Propuesta de medidas preventivas para minimizar riesgos derivados del trabajo (Accidentes de trabajo y Enfermedades Profesionales), a través del uso correcto de equipos de protección personal y el autocuidado en el área de bodega de productos terminados de la empresa Plastigama WAVIN

Abstract

Abstract: Currently in Ecuador, and in most countries, every worker has the right to perform their duties in a suitable and safe work environment. Therefore, the potential occupational hazards, as well as the study of personal protective equipment, serve as the basis for the correct identification and evaluation of risks, leading to the development of an effective Preventive Measures Plan. For this reason, a proposal of preventive measures is presented to minimize work-related risks through the correct use of personal protective equipment and self-care in the finished goods warehouse area of ​​the Plastigama WAVIN company. Through the application of theoretical, empirical, and statistical methods, a correct risk assessment was possible, consisting of two fundamental stages: risk analysis and risk evaluation. At the end of the study, a proposed Occupational Risk Prevention Plan is developed, following a structured survey and an in-depth documentary analysis, including the accident rate table and the matrix for identifying and evaluating hazards, risks, aspects, and impacts within the study area of ​​the organization.
