Methodology for the detection of accidents in the company based on the Bird pyramid

Abstract

Accidents at work are a very important issue within companies, because they reflect losses not only economic or raw material, but can affect the lives of workers, therefore it is important to develop a Methodology for the detection of accidents that allows the control of accident investigations. To carry out this project, it was necessary to carry out three phases, the first of which was research, in which technical and regulatory information sources applicable to the program were reviewed. In the second stage, the accident investigation process was designed, in which variables such as: investigation time, communication time, personnel and accident investigation follow-up were considered. Finally, a pilot run was carried out to identify the areas of opportunity of the program and define the corrective actions. Through the detection, management and control of accidents, it is possible to decrease the accident rate, this methodology identifies the root cause of the problem and generates corrective or preventive actions to avoid repeating said accident.
