Desarrollo de manuales de operación, seguridad y mantenimiento de los equipos del laboratorio de motores de combustión interna y eficiencia energética de la Facultad de Mecánica de la ESPOCH.

Abstract

The development of operation, safety and maintenance manuals is a fundamental part of the management of teaching laboratories by providing the user of these laboratories with the specific information required to ensure their safety when performing learning activities. Based on the provisions of multiple models of manuals analyzed, quality standards and document management and determining both the capabilities and the needs and resources of the laboratories that are the subject of this degree work. It has been obtained as a result a methodological procedure to the elaboration of operation manuals, maintenance and safety to the laboratories of internal combustion engines and energy efficiency of the Mechanics School from Escuela Superior Politécnica de Chimborazo; which includes the coding and formats to be used in the application of the same. As well as, rules and recommendations to follow during the use of the machinery and equipment that the aforementioned laboratories have. It is recommended that the risk factors detailed in the safety manuals be re-evaluated annually and, if necessary, updated the contents of the laboratories. In addition, it is advisable to implement an induction program in which the contents of the manuals prepared to all the users of the teaching laboratories are presented prior to the start of their activities.
