Abstract

Due to a lack of risk control in the metal bus body production process and an inadequate culture of occupational risk prevention, the company CORPMEGABUSS CIA. LTDA, located in Chimborazo province - Riobamba city, faces severe occupational health and safety challenges. This technical project aimed to identify, measure, evaluate, and design an occupational risk prevention and control plan. A mixed, qualitative, and quantitative methodology was used, with a non-experimental and descriptive design, observing and analyzing the specific conditions. In addition, a study of the workers in the company was carried out by applying various instruments, methods, and guidelines of national and international standards. The results identified significant occupational risks in the process and a lack of culture in the care of occupational health and safety, due to the lack of control measures. It was determined that the company faces specific risks in its manufacturing processes, which could lead to operational and economic losses. To conclude, a risk control or elimination plan was designed in line with the data obtained to strengthen the culture of prevention and comply with the company's legal and technical obligations.
