Riesgos laborales y condiciones de trabajo en “La Granja Avícola el Porvenir”, sector La Isla, cantón Cumandá, provincia del Chimborazo, Año 2025.

Abstract

This research analyzes the influence of occupational risks on the working conditions of the personnel at El Porvenir Poultry Farm, located in La Isla sector, Cumandá canton, Chimborazo province, during the year 2025, with the objective of identifying the physical, biological, ergonomic, and psychosocial risk factors that affect the health and productivity of workers, as well as proposing strategies to improve the work environment. The methodology used was descriptive with a quantitative approach, applying a structured survey based on the Likert scale to the farm workers, complemented by direct observations of the working conditions. The results showed a greater exposure to biological agents, extreme temperatures, forced postures, manual load handling, and contact with chemical products, in addition to the absence of continuous training programs and a basic preventive management system. Consequently, it was determined that the limited implementation of biosafety and ergonomic measures directly affects the health and work performance of employees; therefore, the creation of a comprehensive occupational risk prevention program is proposed, including training, pest control, improvement of ventilation and lighting, and the strengthening of the use of personal protective equipment.
