Propuesta de implementación de señalética y defensa contra incendios en la planta procesadora de quinua de la Empresa COPROBICH ubicada en Colta, provincia de Chimborazo

Abstract

The objective of this degree work was to propose a design for the implementation of signage and fire protection in the quinoa processing plant of the company Coprobich located in Colta, province of Chimborazo, to improve working conditions in terms of industrial health and safety. For the development of the research, we began with the diagnosis and determination of the current situation of the company through on-site inspections in the processing plant, then we identified and evaluated the different types of existing risks in the facilities of the processing plant, then documented information was generated in which it was necessary to prepare the risk matrix according to the INSHT format regarding the different risks for the identification, evaluation and technical controls in the different workplaces of the plant, Then, an implementation system for the signage was proposed, taking into consideration the anthropic risks faced by the plant, finally, an implementation was proposed with reference to the different fire defense equipment, according to the parameters of the NFPA 10: 2018 and the implementation of signage according to the Ecuadorian technical standard NTE INEN-ISO 3864-1:2013, which refers to graphic symbols, colors and safety signs according to the current distribution situation of the plant. Redistribution of workstations is recommended in view of the increase in the processing of various products as well as the recharging of fire extinguishers for the optimal functioning of the quinoa processing plant.
