Resumen en español

Occupational Safety and Health (S-SO) is a multidisciplinary activity aimed at protecting and promoting the health of workers by preventing and controlling diseases and accidents, and eliminating factors and conditions that endanger health and Safety at work. In addition, it seeks to generate and promote healthy and safe work, as well as good work environments and organizations; enhance the physical, mental and social well-being of workers and support the improvement and maintenance of their work capacity. Compliance with and implementation of these systems gives a privileged position vis-à-vis the competent authority, because it demonstrates compliance with current regulations and the commitments made, as well as ensuring credibility focused on the control of the (S-SO), and improving occupational health and safety risk management now and in the future, allowing companies to control their occupational health and safety risks and, in turn, give confidence to those who interact with organizations regarding compliance of these requirements. (ICONTEC) Considering these factors and seeing the importance and benefits of the evaluation and design of an occupational health and safety management system, it could be established that it should start with a first stage in which a preliminary evaluation is made that allows us to propose a diagnosis of the current conditions of the organization for which emphasis is placed on proactive and preventive practices established by the organization by identifying hazards and evaluating the control of risks related to workplaces. The study of management systems and especially the NTC-OHSAS 18001: 2007 learned during the development of the environmental engineering degree and later with the "degree option", specialization in occupational health and safety management are of great importance and reflect a base, which allows to initially base some ideas of how to approach each of the necessary stages towards the approach of an occupational health and safety management system (SG-SO). To start with each of the necessary steps, it is important to initially propose some methodologies that allow developing each of the activities that must be carried out for the development of this research and obtain as a final result the approach of the management system for this organization . However, a bibliographic review of existing literature about this type of organization, methodologies used, and some existing examples that allow a precise line of research to be carried out must be made. entails directing us towards the main objective of the research project, in which it is facilitated as far as possible not to deviate from the main objective of the research, this allows us to set adequate and focused techniques and procedures with the established guidelines and methodologies. Some research sources are the package of norms of the denomination ISO 18000, Colombian legislation in force on provisions for the implementation of the occupational health and safety management system (SG-SO), Colombian standards and technical guides for the identification of hazards and the assessment of occupational health and safety risks, as well as examples of similar established management systems, among others. Finally and after carrying out a diagnosis of the current state of the organization, propose some objectives, technical guidelines and methodologies; We proceed to identify each of the activities corresponding to the economic activity of the organization, in which we establish the actions that must be carried out to comply with each of the requirements determined by current Colombian legislation in force and the NTC-OHSAS 18001: 2007.
