Resumen
The objective of this work is to analyze the industrial safety and occupational health of a
shrimp company in the Durán canton, for which a descriptive field methodology with a qualitative
approach and cross-sectional non-experimental design was used, where data collection instruments were used. , in the case of the surveys, all the operational workers of the plant were considered as a sample, while for the interviews, personnel from the Occupational Health area and plant supervisor were considered. Additionally, the safety management indicators in the plant were established, such as the total frequency indexes (IFT) and the total severity index (IGT), which allow assessing the level of worker protection. The results obtained were favorable in relation to the importance that workers give to the aspect of safety; however, there is a significant number of company collaborators who do not know how to act in the event of a claim. On the other hand, the results of the frequency rates were 13.97 work accidents for every 200,000 man-woman hours worked, while the severity rate was 18 workdays for every 200,000 man-woman hours worked. As part of the recommendation for the implementation of Occupational Health programs, the ISO 45001 standard is proposed, which allows risks in the studied company.
