Objective: Design a safe procedure for hot work with electric arc welding in a poultry company in Buga-Valle-Colombia.
Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional investigation, included 70 participants from the maintenance area, who were applied a sociodemographic questionnaire, the dangers and the risk assessment was carried out through GTC 45 of 2012; NTC 4116 of 1997 was used for the design of risk by trade.
Results: In relation to risks, safety conditions show a very high probability level for mechanical factors, hot work and heights, presenting physical, chemical, biological, biomechanics and psychosocial risks, with medium and low probability levels. Among the maintenance activities, the task with a critical score corresponded to arc welding (score 8). The risk analysis by trade showed, deficiencies in the organization (materials and equipment), welding procedure (Personal protection elements) and completion of the task (equipment assurance), the safe procedure, included recommendations aimed at improving the deficiencies described.
Conclusions: Despite having the occupational health and safety management system, maintenance personnel constantly require training, and follow-up on tasks, at the work site where hot jobs are carried out, in order to reduce and control the risks present, especially in critical tasks such as welding, where the worker is exposed to disabling injuries.
