Diagnóstico de Peligros en los Procesos Químicos de la Empresa de Galvanoplastia “Nicrozinc Ltda.”, con Base en la Norma Gtc-45 para Establecer Protocolos de Seguridad y Emergencia

Abstract

The purpose of this dissertation is diagnose hazards based on the GTC-45 standard of the Galvanoplasty company "NICROZINC LTDA." The principal activity of this company is chrome plating, nickel plating and zinc plating of auto- Parts, those activities are composed of effluents, fumes and / or fog from chemical and electrochemical baths that are characterized by their toxic pollutant in terms of cyanide content, heavy metals, acids and alkalis, among others. Due to the use of the different chemicals that are present in the company's processes, the administrative and operational workers are directly or indirectly exposed to them, most of them are highly toxic, corrosive, explosive, flammable and polluting.
