Diseño del programa de trabajo seguro en alturas basado en la resolución 4272 del 2021 para una empresa de construcción, mantenimiento y reparación de cuartos fríos: Consultoría

Abstract

The purpose of this thesis is to design a safe work at heights program based on Resolution 4272 of 2021, aimed at the company Refrigeración Correa y Cárdenas Ltda., dedicated to the construction, maintenance, and repair of cold storage rooms. The need arose from the detection of deficiencies in regulatory compliance, putting worker safety at risk. The methodology used was a mixed approach. From a qualitative perspective, a program based on current regulations was structured. From a quantitative perspective, a checklist-type diagnostic tool was applied to assess the level of compliance with legal requirements. In addition, a risk analysis was conducted using the IPEVR matrix, following GTC 45, to identify the necessary controls. The results showed that 80% of the requirements demanded by the resolution were not being met by the company, especially in aspects such as role definition, technical documentation, and operating procedures. Based on this, a comprehensive program was designed that includes policies, procedures, formats, a work plan, an inventory of equipment and tools, and specific training. The discussion highlighted the importance of preventive management, where a culture of self-care, regulatory compliance, and the allocation of adequate resources are key to reducing workplace accidents. The main conclusion is that the implementation of the program not only ensures legal compliance but also promotes safe work environments, reduces accident costs, and strengthens the institutional reputation, thus contributing to the Sustainable Development Goals by improving the health and well-being of workers.
