Abstract

The objective of this research was to evaluate workstations based on NTP 330 standard and suggest a manual of safe work procedures (SWP) in BELTRÁN company in Ambato city. The first step was to identify the workstations with a direct observation inside the facilities and the production process, in order to evaluate the current risks associated with the development of activities within them, subsequently the risks found were evaluated by applying methodology NTP 330 and the matrix of occupational hazards, getting 143 risks of which 46% are mechanical, 15% are ergonomic, 15% are biological, 11% are psychosocial, 10% are physical and 3% are chemicals. Of these evaluated risks, 50% are level III, 41% are level II, 8% are level I and 1% are level IV. These results demonstrate the need for SWP manuals, so a proposal was made for activities related to these risks, which was discussed with workers and the general manager of the company. It was determined that after the evaluation, the company needed these SWP manuals, so it is recommended that manuals should be implemented and socialized, in order to carry out induction and training programs for personnel, both in the correct development of SWP and in the safety and health of workers, implement industrial signage containing signs of obligation, prohibition, warning, rescue and aid, as well as the supply of adequate personal protective equipment and the creation of a joint health and safety committee for workers, so that together they can control exposure to occupational hazards or accidents by workers.
