Análisis de áreas expuestas a la contaminación acústica que generan riesgos de enfermedades ocupacionales en la sociedad minera Pacifico Sur

Abstract

Noise is one of the most existing agents within an industrial activity that generates concern at the moment of studying the different risks that it produces in the environment and the worker. For the same reason it is necessary to know mainly where are the areas where this phenomenon mostly occurs and what corrective measures should be implemented to try to mitigate the impact. The present study aims to identify the areas most exposed to noise pollution, using specialized equipment for noise monitoring and geographic information systems and implement corrective practices among workers of the Pacifico Sur mining company, province of Azuay, Canton Camilo Ponce Enriquez and San Patricia site. A base of numerical data collection is offered for the evaluation of noise in each sector identified by cartographic maps that are: Transformer Area, Compressor Area, Wincha Area, Work or drilling front, which will be compared with current Ecuadorian National and international regulations of Peru and Colombia directed to Industrial Risks and occupational safety for an analysis and interpretation of results. The document seeks to draw attention to the importance of measuring industrial risk and generate corrective measures.
