An industrial security and hygiene manual has been designed and elaborated at milky processor enterprise Chimborazo PROLAC located on Riobamba city, Chimborazo province. Hygiene, safe and stable environment means to perform the norms, procedures and factors such as: the human factor (training and motivation), enterprise conditions (infrastructure and signal), environmental conditions (noise and ventilation), and the actions that bear risks, accidents prevention and so on. The monitoring by means inspections and the control of these factors contribute to form a safer and more comfortable job environment. It was not necessary to apply any kind of experimental design; a systematic diagnosis was carried out to implement an Industrial security and hygiene manual. The following parameters were used: general cleaning, physical conservation, equipment conservation, machinery and utensils, cleaning materials, hygiene and security in the area and microbiological analysis. 10The results from this research show that there are a few of contamination in the different production areas and there is low productivity. In any cases mentioned above there was contamination that exceed the limits according to the INEN norms, so it is concluded that the lack of information about training for the Industrial security and hygiene improvement makes medium enterprises such as: PROLAC has got low performance which harms the profitability and productivity of the enterprise. It is recommended that PROLAC assumes with responsibility the regulation of national and international laws to frame into the suggested directives for organisms as OSHA and the application of a MHSI.
