Diagnóstico de las condiciones de trabajo en el laboratorio veterinario Bioalfa de Colombia S.A.S.
(2015) Cubides Villaquiran, Aura María; Argüello Vásquez, Neyla Alejandra
The present work was carried out in order to generate a diagnosis of the working conditions in the veterinary laboratory BIOALFA DE COLOMBIA S.A.S. A bibliographic review was carried out on the risks that are most present in the laboratories; The daily activity of the jobs in the production area was analyzed, where evidences of the presence of these risks in the workplace were observed. The most predominant risks were those of a physical, chemical and biological nature of origin and very varied consequences due to the exposure that workers have by direct contact with the raw material (animal remains, fluids), facilities and substances that are handled for the generation of vaccines. This study allowed identifying the risks and their effects on workers, as well as the main prevention measures. When analyzing the risks, it was shown that the biological type had an intolerable degree of risk, while the physical and chemical risks were not so extremely harmful to the health of the laboratory workers.

Fatiga, factor de riesgo en la incidencia de accidente de tránsito en conductores de carga pesada, Transportes Vigía 2013
(2014) Castro Andrade, Lina Catherin; Santiago Urrego, Nelson Leonardo
Fatigue is a work condition that usually occurs in cargo drivers and people who drive for more than eight (8) hours in a row, this is initially caused by accumulation of fatigue and repetitive activities that impede and restrict the natural movement of the body . In Colombia, there is currently little or no legislation regarding the working day for freight drivers, since it has not been given the importance it deserves, after all the accidents that have been registered. The Ministry of Traffic and Transport has adopted preventive measures in order to avoid further incidents. In many cases, traffic accidents could have been prevented by evaluating the accumulated fatigue that the driver has prior to the trip assignment. For the study, the sample consists of 80 loyal drivers of surveillance transport dispersed in three agencies located in the city of Bogotá. The main objective of the study is to determine the relationship that fatigue has with traffic accidents, establishing if it is directly proportional to the lack of maneuverability and uncontrolled vehicle travel.

Herramienta para la detección temprana y seguimiento oportuno de las lumbalgias asociadas a cambios degenerativos de la columna lumbosacra
(2017) Muñoz Avila, Mario Ivan
This project aims to find a standardized strategy through the development and implementation of a simple interface computer tool that can be permanently applied in the evaluation, management and more appropriate monitoring of conditions and factors related to the condition. Physics and biomechanics of the lumbosacral spine, represented by degenerative changes of the vertebral bodies, the intervertebral discs and the stabilization elements. The early identification of the structural changes of the elements that are part of the lumbosacral spine aims, in addition to knowing the physical condition of the worker; establishing a more personalized control system better adjusted to the particular needs of each worker evaluated and classified under this condition. These personalized interventions seek in turn to reduce the possible complications associated with structural changes in the lumbosacral spine already present and that have the risk of having greater physiological manifestations derived from the execution of work activities such as: manipulation of loads, repetitive movements affecting the lumbosacral spine and the components of the lumbar region, and inappropriate and constant postures in a given work environment.

Propuesta de un sistema de vigilancia epidemiológico para los riesgos químicos de una empresa del sector farmacéutico
(2015) Campos Ramírez, Anyela Cristina; Jiménez Cárdenas, Sergio Daniel
This research project was to design the proposed epidemiological surveillance system for chemical hazards Bio Estéril S.A.S., pharmaceutical company, in order to establish prevention and risk management to preserve and improve the health of workers at their place of job. Its development was just in 3 consecutive phases: the first phase was the diagnosis, where the need to propose a system of epidemiological surveillance for chemical risks of the company was determined. To obtain this information two instruments were applied to characterize the chemical, risk and general population census data where the respondent (worker) as age, gender, profession, position, marital status, family composition, number recorded of children, type of housing, religion and leisure activities. The second phase is the structure and components of the proposal. And the last stage is the development of a proposal for a surveillance system for chemical hazards of chemicals with greater impact on the health of workers Bio Estéril S.A.S., The research was classified as a cross sectional study. The study population was 28 workers and the sample was taken 17 workers due to their exposure to different chemical risks. This surveillance system will serve as a model for the detection and implementation of appropriate preventive measures, representing a great strength to improve epidemiological conditions to which it is exposed in the workplace and the quality of life of workers.
