Estudio de las condiciones seguras en el mantenimiento del equipo caminero de las Parroquia Rurales del Cantón Penipe

Abstract

In the parish GADs of Bayushig, El Altar, La Candelaria and Matus of Penipe canton, operators perform maintenance of road equipment without prior knowledge of regulations and safety implements that should be used to avoid unsafe conditions in the execution of their activities. Therefore, the purpose of this work is to conduct a study of safe conditions in the maintenance of road equipment through data collection in technical visits to determine corrective measures. The methodology used was focused on investigative (literature review), explorative (field research) and qualitative research IAP (Investigation Action Participation), in order to obtain more information about safety processes and current regulations, applying data collection methods through inspections of the work area. In addition to the elaboration of a risk matrix that allowed determining the current safety conditions in the maintenance of the road equipment, the elaboration of a manual focused on the safe conditions in the maintenance, carrying out trainings for the operators and authorities of each parish, obtaining the active participation of those involved. These methodologies were used to determine the types of risks, the probability of occurrence and consequences in each parish, and based on these results a corrective action plan was prepared in accordance with INSHT regulations. Finally, it was determined that the current safety conditions in each parish are minimal or not adequate, since they do not have adequate safety equipment and the work areas do not comply with the general safety conditions, by means of the delivery and socialization of the manual it was sought that the operators have a knowledge of the safety conditions prior to maintenance
