Considering this factor, the Colombian state, headed by the Ministry of Labor, established the minimum safety requirements for the development of working at heights in Resolution 4272 of 2021; the current project is focused on the development and implementation of the Prevention and Protection Program Against Falls (PPPCC in Spanish) inside the company MH Consulting S.A.S., in order to reduce the risk of falls from heights or mitigate their consequences. For this purpose, a methodology will be established, based on the P.H.V.A. cycle, which will allow the execution, maintenance, and continuous improvement of these programs.
