Propuesta de Mejora al Sistema de Gestión de la Seguridad y Salud en el Trabajo para la Empresa Byg Electronica Sas

Abstract

This document presents the result of the project entitled "Proposal for the improvement of the occupational health and safety management system for the company BYG Electrónica SAS". For the development of the project, a descriptive case study is developed, so that qualitative and quantitative information is evidenced. This is carried out in the company BYG Electrónica, located in the neighborhood of Las Ferias, Engativá, in the city of Bogotá. It is part of the SME manufacturing sector in the country, dedicated to the design, manufacture and marketing of electronic equipment, so its raw materials are electronic components imported mainly from China and the United States. This company has 34 employees (4 managers, 10 people in the production area and 6 people in the commercial and logistics area, 5 people in research and development, 2 people for the technical department, 3 people for purchasing and warehouse and 4 in the administrative area). Its most outstanding products are: Vehicle solutions such as intercoms and sirens, business solutions such as window intercoms and paging systems. In order to achieve optimal working conditions for employees, the main objective of the project was to generate a significant improvement in the Occupational Safety and Health Management System (OSHMS) at BYG Electrónica; to this end, an initial diagnostic assessment, characterization surveys, personalized interviews and observation processes were carried out. The diagnosis determined that the OSHMS did not satisfactorily comply with Colombian regulations. Many of the minimum standards were not properly implemented and monitored; in addition, the outdatedness of certain documents and the absence of procedures did not allow the correct development of work activities, putting the safety and health of workers at risk. In this order of ideas, the documents of the Risk Matrix, the OSHMS Policy and Objectives, the Legal Matrix and the Annual Work Plan were reevaluated with the purpose of improving their understanding and facilitating their applicability. On the other hand, a proposal was made for the design of other processes or documents such as the 5S implementation proposal, the promotion and prevention program, the supplier selection model, the "HARC'' or Hazard Analysis and Risk Control tool for suppliers, the Supplier Manual, Absenteeism Forms and the Emergency Plan. Finally, the results, applied procedures and recommendations to the OSHMS are presented to the management, as well as a follow-up plan to the activities for its periodic extension.
