Diseño de un plan de vigilancia de la salud para los trabajadores de la Función Judicial del cantón Cuenca

Abstract

Occupational health and safety as a fundamental part of industrial safety and hygiene, imposes a regulatory, moral and economic obligation on organizations, contributing to the well-being of employees and job performance. Therefore, aspects of safety are increasingly incorporated in institutions, as a fundamental element for the development of activities, from where all the different organizational levels play an important role in improving industrial safety and hygiene. The objective of this work was to design an occupational health surveillance program for workers in the Judicial Branch of the Cuenca canton, which is guaranteed by the Constitution of the Republic and national legislation. The study methodology is qualitative, since the information was qualified through the collection of data and information directly. It was concluded that, since there was no tool to help organize occupational health surveillance in the institution, the implementation of an operational guide for different jobs was proposed in order to carry out initial, periodic medical care, change of post, reinstatement and departure of the worker, as well as the development of healthy activities for workers that guarantee their physical, mental and social health in the workplace from a preventive medical approach, motivating the implementation of the surveillance program, its compliance and continuous improvement
