Abstract

Abstract: This work was developed with the objective of understanding how occupational risks manifest in the activities carried out within the medical laboratories of Block 15 Indillana, which belongs to EP Petroecuador. To this end, the binary methodology from the INSST was employed a tool that allows for a specific assessment of whether basic preventive conditions are met for each task. Using a descriptive approach, the study examines the operational environment, the hazards present during the various phases of the process, and the level of exposure faced by personnel throughout their workday. Based on this review, actions are established to reduce the likelihood of accidents and work-related illnesses, thereby strengthening occupational health and safety management within the laboratory area. The results obtained provide insights that foster continuous improvement and support compliance with current regulations applicable to the hydrocarbon sector.
