Abstract

In the present Project, the Labor Risk Prevention Plan is elaborated for the Warehouse and Laboratories of the Science Faculty of the Escuela Superior Politécnica de Chimborazo located in Riobamba city, whose main activities consist of providing services such as loans of materials, chemicals and lab works accomplishing the objective of improving the Industrial Security and Occupational Health aspects of the workers, a proposal which is based on an analysis of the actual situation in the aspects of handling and use of chemicals, materials and activities at work, condensed in the labor risk evaluation matrix.
