Resumen
The objective of this work was to prepare the Good Practices Manual on Occupational Risk Prevention, which is a necessary tool for the "EMCOPAC" plant. For this purpose, the existing risks in each work position were evaluated in order to determine and propose prevention measures for each critical risk activity. Risks were identified through direct observation of the tasks performed at each work station, while risk assessment was carried out by applying the risk matrix of the Technical Preventive Standard TPS 330. Within the evaluation of risk factors, check questionnaires were applied to determine the level of deficiency according to the assessment criteria indicated by the standard; based on this value, the following levels were weighted until the intervention level was obtained, which was used to propose preventive measures. Through the application of the matrix, a total of 114 risks were identified, where the risk of physical fatigue due to handling loads was the one with the highest incidence (9%). Finally, it was determined that 9% and 19% of the risk factors evaluated have an intervention level I and Il, respectively, for which it is necessary to develop and adopt preventive measures. In conclusion, the productive activities carried out in the plant have a medium and high level of probability of occurrence of accidents, therefore, the development of the manual seeks to disseminate good preventive practices, in order to generate preventive habits that improve the conditions of the work environment and the activities can be performed safely and efficiently.
