Análisis de riesgos laborales en una empresa farmacéutica

Abstract

This degree project aims to assess occupational risks in the production plant of the pharmaceutical company MAQUIPHARMA S.A. through the application of the IPERC matrix (Hazard Identification, Risk Assessment and Control), based on the GTC-45 methodology. The study was developed using a mixed approach, combining qualitative and quantitative techniques such as direct observation, surveys, and interviews with operational personnel, allowing the identification of real working conditions and jobrelated hazards. The results revealed the presence of ergonomic, physical, mechanical, chemical, biological, and electrical risks, with ergonomic risks showing the highest incidence within the company. Risk assessment enabled the classification of hazards according to their level of acceptability, prioritizing those rated as High and Very High, which require immediate intervention. Based on the findings, control measures were proposed following the hierarchy of controls, including engineering controls, administrative measures, and the proper use of personal protective equipment. The implementation of the IPERC matrix represents a key tool for occupational health and safety management, contributing to improved working conditions, prevention of occupational accidents and diseases, and strengthening of a preventive culture within the organization.
