Plan de seguridad y salud ocupacional para minimizar riesgos en la empresa camaronera

Abstract

Studies of occupational risks in the shrimp industry indicate an urgent need to implement occupational health and safety programs because workers are exposed to physical, chemical, psychosocial, biological and ergonomic risks. The lack of adequate measures threatens not only the health of employees, but also affects the company's finances. The comprehensive occupational health and safety plan is designed not only to protect the physical and mental health of employees, but also to help companies achieve success and sustainability in a highly competitive global market. A safe and healthy work environment is essential to maintaining high levels of productivity, reducing costs related to workplace accidents, and improving a company's reputation. The technique used for data collection was to carry out surveys in different areas to know the working conditions and risks they face, integrating the information through a risk identification matrix and a control hierarchy that prioritizes 4 areas: production, warehouse, laboratory and maintenance. Ultimately, an action plan was developed to minimize detected risks and specific security protocols were established for each type of risk identified, and finally a risk mitigation matrix was created within the priority areas and cost factors for the technique to be used make.
