1. OBJECTIVE
Define a safety and health program at work for the prevention of mechanical risks in order to
reduce work accidents and incidents and create a safe and healthy environment for well-being
workers and prevent damage to property, establishing guidelines that promote measures
preventive.

2. SCOPE
This program applies to administrative staff, operational staff, and interns who are developing
work within the company or on its behalf and in all areas where risk is present

4. DEFINITIONS
4.1 SST program for the prevention of mechanical risk: It is a plan that contains a set of
activities aimed at continuously improving and controlling working conditions, enhancing quality,
productivity, health, and job satisfaction.

4.2 Shearing: This risk is located at the points where the filters move.

4.3 Trapping: It is caused by areas formed by two objects that move together, of which at

4.4 Crushing: The crushing hazard zones mainly occur when two objects are
they move one over the other, or when one moves and the other is static.

4.5 On solids: Many machines in normal operation expel particles, but among these materials
strange objects such as stones, branches, and others can be introduced, which are thrown at high speed and that
they could hit the workers.

4.6 Of liquids: The machines can also project liquids like those contained in the different
hydraulic systems, which are capable of causing burns and reaching the eyes.

4.7 Mechanical hazard: It is the set of physical factors that can lead to an injury due to the
mechanical action of machine elements, tools, workpieces or projected materials.

4.8 Machine: They are divided into simple and compound and transform an applied force into another resultant.

6. DESCRIPTION OF MECHANICAL RISK

6.1 A Mechanical Risk Program is a plan that contains a set of activities aimed at
improve and continuously control working conditions, enhancing quality, productivity, the
health and job satisfaction. These programs are carried out in order to create and develop habits and routines
In this topic; for the implementation of their production processes, the use of machinery becomes necessary,
equipment and tools that facilitate tasks, streamline processes, and improve productivity of the
organization, but at the same time the interaction of man with machinery and work tools can
to produce a wide variety of workplace accidents, ranging from minor (superficial injuries and minor bumps), as
how they can cause serious accidents (open deep wounds, amputations, fractures) and even
mortals.

The list of possible accidents caused by machinery and tools is quite long if not taken into account.
the relevant protection controls. Each mechanical element generates its own risk and problem, and to
often the machines and tools have safety elements that may be poorly designed,
made with inadequate materials, disabled or not subjected to the necessary inspections and

periodic controls. All these factors make it necessary to develop a risk program

workers of unnecessary accidents as preventable.
