Abstract

The overall objective of the present work was control and prevent risk of industrial lighting, forklift operation and work at height in a food logistics' storage. Initially, the thesis identified and evaluated the risk arising from the forklift operation and work at height by using the Colombian Technical Guide GTC-45. The risks founded were: rack, product and platform collapses, outrages, fall at different level, collapsing with moving and stationary objects and falling objects. The industrial illumination risk was identified by the uniform linear array method. The results showed that the storage area are not adequately illuminated because the illumination level is under the threshold limit value (200 lux) of the 2393 Order. Checklists, training, signage were implemented to control the risks arising from forklift trucks. Falling to a different level was controlled by installing horizontal lifeline and issued a work permits. Poor lighting was corrected by lamps maintenance and retrofit the existing system was proposed. The risk
