Diseño y elaboración del programa de protección y prevención contra caídas para trabajo seguro en alturas prestado por la inmobiliaria A&B.

Abstract

The serious consequences caused by accidents due to falls from a height make it necessary for companies to implement control measures that allow the assessment and minimization of exposure to this danger. In Colombia work at heights is "Any activity carried out by a worker that causes suspension and / or displacement, in which he is exposed to a risk of falling, greater than 2.0 meters, in relation to the plane of the worker's feet to the lower horizontal plane closest to him." (Res. 4272, 2021). The consultancy that is going to be developed will allow the A&B Real Estate company to have a tool that allows it to identify, assess and control the risks that the danger at heights generates for the personnel who hold positions that must be exposed to falls. This type of activity is characteristic of the construction sector, where tasks are carried out daily that involve exposure to falls at different levels and that, according to statistics in Colombia, "generate annually 532 fatalities due to fall in height of which 125 corresponded to the construction sector" (Pachon Landino & Vargas Cardozo, 2016). The methodology used for the design and elaboration of the protection and prevention program against falls for safe work at heights provided by the A&B real estate agency, applying the Deming cycle, articulating and following the methodology established in the Health and Safety Management System in the SG-SST work, through a logical procedure and in stages that allows its continuous improvement.
