Análisis, valoración y control de riesgos físicos, mecánicos y ergonómicos en el personal operativo de la Unidad de Planificación Física de la Universidad de Cuenca

Abstract

The Physical Planning Unit of the University of Cuenca is made up of the executing units of works, maintenance and green areas; Within the institution, it carries out activities related to the area of construction, maintenance and repairs of different types; These activities are prone to generating occupational accidents and, depending on the type and time of exposure to risk factors, could cause occupational diseases. The present work is aimed at analyzing, evaluating and proposing control measures for the physical, mechanical and ergonomic risk factors within the Physical Planning Unit of the University of Cuenca. The different physical, mechanical and ergonomic risk factors will be identified by the method of NTP 330: Simplified accident risk assessment system; to later evaluate their impact, using methodologies recommended by INSHT, NIOSH and observational methods such as REBA. Finally, after carrying out the assessment and evaluation of the different risk factors, general and specific prevention measures are proposed that will allow the risk to be minimized, starting at the source, that is, where the risk factor is generated; then in the middle and if not possible in the receiver.; aimed at the well-being of the worker and improving the conditions in which activities are carried out
