dc.description.abstract | Occupational safety and health management is becoming increasingly important in the
business sector due to technological advancement, which creates difficulty in adapting
new operating systems in work activities and thus produces new types of Risks. For this
reason, in recent years companies have sought to generate the well-being of workers
using modern management models. Unfortunately, there is little research on trends in
management models in manufacturing companies, but there is a lot of information in
relation to occupational safety and health. This research work seeks to determine what
factors, components and guidelines a management model, which integrates
Occupational Health and Safety as an element of Corporate Social Responsibility, should
consider. For this, an exploratory analysis of the subject has been carried out using
selected literature with the aim of having a global approach which was adjusted to the
industrial environment of the city of Cuenca. Among the main results has been able to
identify the revised occupational health and safety management models at the
literature level, and the guidelines with the highest amount of application in the
management models have been revised. In addition, the benefits and challenges that
appear in an occupational health and safety system were identified. Finally, a proposal
was generated for the implementation of guidelines with their respective components
and indicators of occupational safety and health management in a process and cost
management model. | |
