Sistema de gestión de la seguridad y salud del trabajo en la Institución de Hermanas Mayores y Enfermas de la Congregación Terciarias Capuchinas en la ciudad de Medellín 2024

Abstract

The study on the Occupational Health and Safety Management System (SG-SST) at the Congregation of the Capuchin Tertiaries in Medellín, Colombia, proposes a comprehensive plan that emphasizes the importance of employee training, emergency plan management, and compliance with legal regulations and ISO 45001 to improve occupational health and safety. Significant risks are identified, especially in the healthcare sector, highlighting the need for audits and risk matrices to create a safer work environment. The research methodology is mixed, with an exploratory scope. The findings reveal low regulatory compliance and limited knowledge of Decree 1072 of 2015, underscoring the urgency of implementing the SG-SST not only to reduce work-related accidents and illnesses but also to promote a culture of self-care that improves workers' quality of life. The intervention plan includes annual training, development of emergency plans, audits, and the creation of risk matrices, while weaknesses such as a lack of training and signage, and strengths in compliance with ergonomic standards, are identified. The implementation of the SG-SST is essential, and it is suggested to follow the PDCA cycle, with an estimated budget of $5.000.000, highlighting the importance of preventive actions and continuous training.
