Implantación de un sistema de gestión de seguridad y Salud en el trabajo basado en el modelo Ecuador

Resumen

In Ecuador, the current legal regulations require the implantation of safety and health occupational management systems in all public and private institutions, regardless if this is a manufacturing or a service company. Meaning, the Ecuadorian Institute of Social Security (IESS in Spanish) has adopted the methodology known as “The Ecuador Model” (El Modelo Ecuador) to the system, it’s a four pillars system: administrative management, technical management, human resource management and basic operating process. With these issues in mind, this thesis has as an objective to implement a safety and health occupational management system based on Ecuador Model at “Isaac Newton” educational institute in the city of Manta, considering its employees in different areas. The applicable methodology is based in the Resolution 333, Regulation of Occupational Risk Audits System (SART in Spanish) from IESS; it enabled us to run the diagnostics of the initial situation of the institution, based in a descriptive study, direct observation in contrast with legal regulations, which showed an accomplishment level of 6,76%. The analysis of risk factors in the workplace was developed according to the matrix from The Ministry of Labor Relations and the general methodology of risk evaluation from The National Institute for Health and Safety in Spain (INSHT in Spanish). The management system design is consisting of the planning, procedures, methods, formats as well as relevant documents for its implementation. This system has an 68,02% efficiency index, with an 23,37% additional proposed implantation, which is considered satisfactory, and supported in a favourable cost-benefit analysis.
