Desarrollo de un sistema de gestión de seguridad y salud ocupacional para una fundación de fabricación de aparatos ortopédicos

Abstract

The present work aims to develop a technical proposal for an Occupational Health and Safety Management System (OHSMS), based on the ISO 45001:2018 standard, for a foundation dedicated to the manufacture of orthopedic devices. The initial assessment showed a 10% compliance with the requirements established by the standard. Based on this analysis, a proposal was designed, which included the identification of hazards and risk estimation, the documentation and characterization of processes, the development of process maps, risk maps, evacuation maps, resource maps, and the analysis of system risks and opportunities. In addition, the scope of the system was defined, the health and safety policy was formulated, a comprehensive occupational risk prevention plan was developed, and an annual training schedule was structured. These actions made it possible to build a management model adapted to the organization’s real conditions. If implemented, the compliance level could increase to 45%, substantially improving preventive management and strengthening the safety culture. This study provides a useful methodological basis for entities with similar operational characteristics.
