Diagnóstico comparativo de las condiciones laborales en seguridad industrial de tres lavaderos de autos ubicados en la ciudad de Bogotá en el año 2015

Abstract

The purpose of this project is to identify and analyze the working conditions in industrial safety of the population working in the car washings of the city of Bogotá in 2015. To identify these safety conditions, a diagnosis was made among the object washers of study, in order to establish the current situation and generate the pertinent recommendations. The diagnosis includes the identification of the procedures performed for the execution of car wash tasks, assessment of the risk factors to which they are exposed and verification of the controls applied to mitigate the risks compared to the safety provisions established in the Resolution 2400 of 1979.

The comparison of the aforementioned points made it possible to establish the industrial safety conditions in which the car wash activities must be carried out and the controls that must exist to guarantee the welfare of the workers, responding to the main interest that is to mitigate the risks to which they are exposed being this activity considered as informal.

For this study, a sample of three car washes located in different parts of the city was taken into account, which presented their own characteristics (workplace, machinery, equipment, facilities) in the provision of the service under a manual washing system, which They allowed to make the diagnosis. The safety conditions established in the results and recommendations of the diagnosis are applicable to the entire population of workers of companies engaged in car washing.

The methods that were used to evaluate the conditions in safety and hygiene were matrix of procedures for safe work (PTS - ATS), matrices of risks GTC-45, and finally a checklist to verify the compliance of the applicable controls in safety according to to Resolution 2400 of 1979.
