Sistema de gestión de seguridad y salud en el trabajo aplicando la Norma ISO 45001:2018 para el edificio principal del GADM Penipe

Abstract

The main objective of this technical project is the design of an Occupational Health and Safety Management System based on the ISO 45001:2018 standard for the main building of Gobierno Autónomo Descentralizado Municipal GADM of Penipe canton, which will ensure the health and welfare of the staff who is working in that institution. It was made an analysis of the existing information and regulations in GADM of Penipe canton by means of a thorough survey of information through direct observations and the application of the Check List of the ISO 45001 standard, which allows to determine the level of compliance with regard to safety and health at work. The Colombian technical guide GTC 45, was used to identify hazards and assess occupational safety and health risks, was used to determine the occupational risks in the different work positions, while the REBA method of the Universidad Politécnica de Valencia was applied to determine the ergonomic risks in the different work positions, which allows determining the worker's exposure due to the adoption of inadequate postures. As a result of the diagnosis during the initial assessment, there was a clear lack of documentation, procedures, formats, plans and programs to help develop an adequate health and safety system. For this reason, the respective manuals, formats and policies that the ISO 45001:2018 standard establishes as minimum requirements for an occupational safety and health management system to be implemented based on this standard were generated. The implementation of the occupational health and safety system is recommended through trainings and controls that allow the dissemination of this system to all GADM Penipe canton staff.
