Evaluación e implementación de medidas preventivas y correctivas para el control del riesgo ergonómico, en empleados de la sección de pulido y esmaltado de la empresa Franz Viegener, área Andina S.A.

Abstract

The present work had for objective to perform initially, a matrix of the risks of labor which allowed identifying, qualifying, and categorizing the risks, subsequently, a comparative analysis was performed using the SPSS 21 statistical method in order to combine and quantify the issued information taking into account the ergonomic risk of the jobs. The OCRA method was employed in this work. It allowed the measurement of the quantitative risks linked to repetitive movements of the upper limbs. The analysis showed that the polisher terminator, piece retriever, enameller, and head of the enameling group are in a ergonomic risk qualified as high. Therefore, it was necessary to incorporate technical measures achieved with the acquisition of three BOSCH GPO 14 CE angular polishers and two Parther EQUO – Pe manual elevators distributed in the polishing and enameling section next to the Active Pauses program. During the next six months, it was performed a verification of the implementation of the preventive and corrective measures carried out with the method OCRA reducing of the ergonomic risks from high to very mild in the jobs of polisher terminator and piece retriever. In the jobs of enameller and head of the enameling group, the ergonomic risk was reduced from high to mild.
