Resumen
El Ecuador está siendo visto a nivel mundial como uno de los mejores destinos turísticos, este auge económico promueve la inversión nacional y extrajera en edificaciones para que los turistas pernocten cerca de sus destinos. La fuerza laboral del sector turístico y hotelero están expuestos a factores de riesgo que pueden afectar su integridad física y su salud. El presente estudio identificó y evaluó a los factores de riesgos mecánicos mediante métodos cualitativos y cuali-cuantitativos determinando su incidencia en las operaciones que realizan 119 trabajadores. Se encontró que del total de riesgos identificados el 29,4 % corresponde a los factores de riesgo mecánico y el de mayor incidencia es el riesgo piso irregular resbaladizo, así también se determina que 38,9% de los riesgos mecánicos evaluados tienen un grado de peligrosidad notorio. El cumplimiento de lo descrito en las normas técnico legales de seguridad y salud contribuirá a eliminar y reducir los factores de riesgo mecánicos, así también, las capacitaciones en materia de prevención de riesgos y la concientización de los trabajadores de la importancia de la seguridad y salud en el trabajo.
Ecuador is now seen as one of the leading travel destinations worldwide, due to the economic growth which promotes national and foreign investment on infraestructure, allowing the tourists to stop over very close to their destinations. The labour force in the touristic and hotelier fields are exposed to risk damages that can affect their physical integrity and health. The present study identified and evaluated the mechanic methods, both, qualitative and quantitative, which determined its incidence in the operations of 119 workers. The study showed that the total of identified risks reached 29,4 %, corresponding to mechanical risk factors, and the greatest incidence is the irregular slippery floor, on the other hand, it was also determined that6 38,9% of the evaluated mechanial risks have a notorious hazard dimension. The fullfilment of the legal and technical security and health rules will contribute to eliminate and reduce the mechanical risk factors, as well as the training concerning hazard prevention and the awareness of the workers about the importance of health and security at work.
