Abstract

The mining industry is very important both for the economy and for the generation of employment in our country, it concentrates a large number of workers who are constantly exposed to different risk factors. The objective of this field work is to identify and evaluate the occupational risks at the Santa Monica mill located at the Pache site in order to establish corrective measures that will allow the company's personnel to have safe work areas for the development of their activities. In order to identify the risk factors to which the company's workers are exposed, an on-site analysis was carried out at each work station, which revealed mainly the lack of operating procedures for the development of tasks such as transporting chemicals and the absence of personal protective equipment in some workers. The William Fine methodology and the risk matrix were the tools used to calculate the degree of danger and the danger situation report allows the evaluator to establish the situation of danger to which the operative personnel is exposed, allowing corrective actions to be taken regarding the deficiencies detected in each work area of the company. For the corrective measures we used the provisions established in the executive decree 2393 regulation of safety and health of workers and improvement of the working environment and ruled in the matrix of identification and evaluation of occupational risks to estimate their level of risk.
