number of processes, but the main activity is the construction of civil works,

of buildings and shopping centers, urban planning works, sanitation, environmental and

renovation of works where construction materials and manufacturing are handled

and supplies for office equipment, appliances, provisioning, and importation,

export, production, marketing and wholesale and retail distribution.

The Works, the staff, the physical and economic resources as well as the

infrastructure: physical, technological, and machinery are under responsibility

from a Project Director, Resident Engineer of the Work, Inspectors and Supervisors who

is in charge of the collaborators and third parties of each project, this

interaction in the execution of works generates risk factors such as

locational risks which are conditioned by the geographical area where it is

execute the work, the installations and work areas, which under circumstances do not

controlled can lead to unsafe conditions that favor the materialization

of work accidents or physical losses for the company and for the different positions

of work.

The company Escarpetta Construcciones S.A.S, due to its construction activities.

Civiles is classified by the Labor Risk System as Type V Risk, and by the

that all the activities I carry out are considered high risk, which translates to

an activity in which there is a three times greater probability of causing death and

twice as likely to leave people injured as in other productive sectors.

Due to these activities, employees are constantly exposed to

suffer accidents in the workplace for not using protective equipment

personal and not being in a safe area at the moment; The main residents

in work at heights, excavations, and the movement of loads which

are the most common causes of injuries and fatalities. Workers

from construction are exposed in their work to a wide variety of

health risks.

The exhibition varies from trade to trade, from work to work, every day, even every

The exposure to any risk is usually intermittent and of short duration, but

It is likely to happen again as this represents a great risk and constant accidents.

to the workers causing them fractures, blows, and even leading to their death due to the

fall of a solid material, which poses a high risk due to the height of the

columns on rods that move constantly in that construction, the lack of

Signage, poor placement of tools also represents several risks.

the machines, this even shows a great risk and constant accidents due to the

most of the time due to the negligence of the workers in the improper use of PPE.

The study conducted at the construction company Escarpetta Construcciones

S.A.S. analyzes the number of accidents that occurred, which corresponded to

various factors involving injuries in upper limbs, lower limbs,

muscle contractures in any part of the body, wounds on the head.

CHARACTERISTICS OF THE SECTOR ACCORDING TO RISK

LOCATION FALLS:

Falls can be of various types. Falls from different levels occur

especially in the execution of work on roofs and coverings, exterior gaps or

interiors, and scaffolding. Falls at the same level are also common, caused by

due to stumbling, stepping on unstable ground or slipping.

FALLING OBJECTS OR LANDSLIDES:

These types of accidents can be due to falling objects due to the

instability of the structure. This would include the collapse of buildings, walls, materials

of construction, etc. Therefore, it is always necessary to be in the corresponding place of

these materials and, in case of observing any signs of instability, report it

to the person responsible for the work.

ORDER AND CLEANLINESS:

Many accidents occur due to bumps and falls that could have been prevented.

avoided with a tidy and organized environment. Often, a slippery floor or

Materials out of place are what cause these damages.

PARTICLE PROJECTION:

These types of injuries can occur due to small fragments or particles.

of a material that has been projected by a machine or tool.

ELECTRICAL RISK:

The construction, due to its provisional nature, poses a risk.

especially with regard to the electrical installation. These installations are usually

provisional, are often outdoors, are made of reusable material,

among other aspects. All of this increases the likelihood of accidents.

than in other sectors.

MACHINERY OVERTURNING:

In construction, the use of heavy machinery is necessary. Sometimes the

the land on which a construction is taking place can be unstable, which can

causing the machine to overturn, trapping the operator or part of their body.

Use personal protective equipment.

Know and comply with the safe work procedure in confined spaces

defined by the contractor.

Ensure safe atmospheres.

● Execute permanent control from the outside throughout the entire work period.

Ensure sufficient lighting levels.

Signage the work area and follow existing safety signs.

employees.

An appropriate workplace creates a good work environment and allows for a

to prevent worker accidents, the most common are:
