Resumen
Colombian legislation requires all companies to develop a health and safety at work
program in order to preserve, maintain and improve the individual and collective health of
workers and avoid work accidents and occupational diseases. The design of a management
system focused on safety and health at work that provides safety, care and education to
employees must involve audit-based evaluation activities. This leads to programs that reduce
work accidents and prevent occupational diseases, and that also optimize the productivity of
the company. The process must involve the development of criteria for analyzing the tasks or
functions of each person. It is vital to anticipate dangerous or harmful events or incidents, to
identify potentially dangerous tasks, and prioritize and apply corrective action. The goal of this
paper is to demonstrate a methodology based on ohsas 18001 for the implementation of a
management system at a telecommunications company. In the methodological scope, sufficient
and necessary information will be gathered to detect the shortcomings of the administrative and
management areas that support the proposal on the alternative design. It describes the situation
observed and analyse the documents that will support the proposal to carry it out in accordance
with the established norms.
