Propuesta de optimización de la seguridad y salud ocupacional en una empresa cárnica ubicada en la ciudad de Guayaquil: Un enfoque integral para la prevención de riesgos laborales mecánico y psicosocial

Abstract

This extensive research, carried out in a meat processing company in Guayaquil, Ecuador, analyzed the mechanical and psychosocial risks to which workers are exposed. A survey of 150 employees revealed the presence of factors such as lack of signage, insufficient training programs and ergonomic problems that represent significant risks. The study identified critical areas such as the use of dangerous machinery, manual handling of loads, and exposure to chemicals, as well as workers' concerns about job stability and recognition of the work performed.
