Implementación de un plan de gestión de riesgos físicos y mecánicos en el área administrativa y de servicios en la piscina de la ESPOCH.

Abstract

The objective of this research is to evaluate and manage the physical and mechanical risks, which are likely to be considerable or generate a risk of accidents to the administrative and service personnel of the ESPOCH pool. The risk assessment is carried out qualitatively and quantitatively, with the support of matrixes of the NTP 330 standard, based on the results of a field investigation, the risk in each one of the work posts were evaluated. Weights were performed and the degree of danger in: low, medium and high described in the risk matrix was determined. Finally, after analyzing the risk, it was determined that the physical and mechanical risks are the most significant found in the ESPOCH pool. In the theoretical context, the deductive reasoning method is used, and the field research for the elaboration of risk management. The present study is carried out following the recommended processes, standard NTP 330 for the identification of work risks, and NTP 324, which is a support for the identification of work risk by means of check-up questionnaires. Establishing that, the most significant risks are physical and mechanical. Therefore, it is suggested to carry out the following mitigation actions: use personal protective equipment for the hands, feet and body protection for the maintenance workers of the pool. The implementation of the respective signage, relocation of GLP cylinders used to heat the showers heaters, first aid equipment and emergency activation elements, benefiting all occupants of the facilities was carried out.
