Resumen
El objetivo de este estudio fue conocer las alteraciones de salud de los conductores de transporte de carga terrestre de la empresa TRANSPOINT S.A. Una de las inquietudes de la empresa era el control de los riesgos que pudieran atentar contra la salud de sus conductores, recursos materiales y recursos financieros. Por tal razón, se realizó una investigación de campo con el fin de recopilar y registrar información relacionada a riesgos, enfermedades ocupacionales, accidentes laborales y medidas preventivas. Se realizaron inspecciones y se recolectaron datos a través de encuesta, que sirvan de evidencia para registro de cada uno de los riesgos detectados. Como resultado, en su mayoría se involucraban riesgos de seguridad, riesgos físicos, riesgos mecánicos, riesgos ergonómicos y riesgos psicosociales. Se propone por tal razón la elaboración de un Programa de Vigilancia de Salud que contenga subprogramas de Salud Ocupacional, Medicina Preventiva y del Trabajo, e Higiene y Seguridad Industrial, acordes con la situación de la empresa. Este estudio promoverá la investigación y búsqueda continua de oportunidades de mejora para el sector transportista, con la introducción de nuevas tecnologías y la implementación de un Programa de Vigilancia de la Salud para la prevención de enfermedades profesionales en conductores de carga pesada por vía terrestre.
The aim of this research was to determine health-related issues of road drivers of the company TRANSPOINT S.A. One of the concerns of the company was to control the risks factors that could threaten the health of their drivers, material resources and financial resources. For this reason, a field investigation was conducted in order to collect and record information related to risks, occupational diseases, accidents and hazards prevention. Inspections were carried out and data that served as evidence was registered for each one of the identified risks, which mainly involved security, physical, mechanical, ergonomic, and psychosocial risks. It is proposed for this reason, the Development of a Health Surveillance Prevention Program that must be composed of Subprograms in Occupational Health, Preventive Medicine, and Occupational and Industrial Hygiene, according to the company´s demand. This research therefore, will approach continuous improvement opportunities for the transport sector, integrating new technological advances and the enforcement of a monitoring health program for the prevention of occupational diseases for road freight transport workers.
