Análisis del impacto del ruido y vibraciones en la salud de operadores de la central térmica de Pascuales y estrategias de mitigación.

Abstract

This case study analyzes the impact of noise and vibration on the health of workers at the Pascuales Thermal Power Plant and mitigation strategies. The main objective of this case study is to examine the effect of noise and vibration on the health of workers at the Pascuales Thermal Power Plant using methods such as documentary, observational, and survey methods. The goal is to develop a mitigation proposal that will help prevent occupational hazards and thus enhance worker well-being. Its methodology combines surveys, direct observation, and documentary analysis, recognizing essential findings that not only summarize the current situation but also contribute significantly to research on occupational health and safety, and providing specific alternatives to the proposed dilemma. It was found that noise levels at the Pascuales Thermal Power Plant are within the established regulatory limits, yet employees feel that their continued presence poses a considerable risk to their health.
