Resumen
The present study called "Design of an operational safety guide for heavy cargo ground transportation companies", aims to determine the current operational situation through the identification of critical points and operational risks of different transportation companies in Guano canton. This study applied a mixed methodological approach grouping qualitative and quantitative results. In addition, a total of 378 surveys were applied to the population that use this type of transportation in order to know the current operational situation of these companies, information about the population, frequency on the origin and destination of products, compliance with operational safety indicators and causes that generate car accidents. Besides, some interviews were applied to the legal representatives of these companies. Finally, verification and compliance about the documents and safety elements of vehicles were elaborated. Once the information gathering was completed, it was determined that a large part of the operational safety indicators suffer from an applicative deficiency, that is, there is no adequate technical and administrative procedures, causing this modality to be susceptible to external risks such as traffic accidents, robbery or roadside assaults. These aspects allowed to conclude that operational activities are empirically carried out, so that practical suggestions to establish more efficient operational processes with an emphasis on reducing risks and operational failures are recommended.
