Abstract

The administrative employees of Saquisilí Municipality in their daily work were highly exposed to different risk factors, however, due to the daily routine of their work, they did not implement the basic and necessary preventive measures in terms of occupational health and safety. Therefore, the objective of this study was to design an Integral Safety Plan, where the guidelines for the prevention of occupational hazards were determinated. The first step was to identify and evaluate occupational risks base on Technical Prevention Standard 330, if which 53% were mechanical, 31% physical, and 16% ergonomic. The ergonomic risks identified were evaluated using ROSA method, where 41% of the workstations requested an immediate action. Psychosocial risks were addressed with the SUCESO/ISTAS21 questionnaire focused on 5 dimensions, with the third dimension, social support in the company, requiring intervention to implement improvements. Additionally, the fire risk assessment was carried out using MESERY, which determinated the existence of a medium of fire risk in the old building with a score of 3,43. Finally, due to the lack organization of the facilities, the 5S philosophy was applied by direct observation and checklists, to know the state of order and cleanliness. Base on the results obtained, the guidelines, procedures and actions t be taken for the prevention of occupational risk and diseases were established, as well as the respective monitoring of risk factors, and their implementation and socialization, promoting a culture of safety.
