Accidentalidad durante el izaje de cargas en el sector de la construcción. Una mirada mundial de los últimos 10 años Accidents during lifting operations in the construction sector: a global overview of the last 10 years.
Rosas Tovar Maria Fernanda; Diana Derly Bueno Castro
The study analyzes the high rate of accidents in the construction sector, particularly in lifting operations, where the use of equipment, the handling of heavy materials, and the interaction among workers increase risks if not properly managed. Based on a review of scientific literature from the past ten years, it was found that the most common accidents include falling loads, impacts from moving objects, entrapments, and equipment collapse, all resulting from a combination of human, technical, organizational, and environmental factors. These incidents not only cause serious or fatal injuries but also lead to economic losses, project delays, and legal issues. In conclusion, the most effective prevention strategies rely on a comprehensive approach that includes proper equipment maintenance, personnel training, careful planning, constant supervision, and the use of technology, recognizing that safety depends on the integration of all these elements.
Análisis biomecánico con la herramienta ROSA en los trabajadores de la empresa Seidor, Bogotá, 2026
Neira Dulcey Jhonhattan Andrés; Ovalle Tunjano Mireya; Diana Carolina Rodríguez Romero
Using the Rapid Office Strain Assessment tool, the current thesis examines the degree of biomechanical risk in administrative workers at Seidor Colombia in Bogotá during 2026; the study originates from the extensive hours spent in front of computer equipment, which increases the likelihood of suffering from musculoskeletal disorders such as carpal tunnel syndrome and lower back pain. The methodology employed consisted of a quantitative and cross-sectional analysis carried out with 57 employes, using ergonomic checklists, surveys on perceived morbidity, and sociodemographic records. The study showed that workers experience constant pain in their hands, neck, and shoulders, worsened by factors such as poorly adjusted chairs, backrests, and screens. The ROSA evaluation revealed that 98.2% of the positions have a "needing improvement" risk and that 1.8% present a "high" risk, requiring adjustments due to the lack of adjustable furniture and the inconvenient placement of work equipment. On the other hand, lifestyle and habits indicated that the pressure on joints and the spine is significantly aggravated due to the high rate of sedentarism 40.5% and overweight over 46%. Regarding the factor of seniority in the job, it demonstrated that continuous exposure to these conditions causes pain to become chronic and symptoms to worsen significantly between 6 and 10 years in the company.
Análisis de la carga física laboral y su relación con el dolor cervical en trabajadores administrativos-Analysis of physical workload and its relationship with neck pain in administrative workers
Galindo-Figueroa, Diana; Bueno-Castro, Diana
This monograph analyzes the relationship between physical exertion and neck pain in office workers in a context characterized by increased sedentary work and intensive use of digital technologies. The main problem is the high incidence of neck pain in this occupational group, primarily related to prolonged periods of sitting, constant neck flexion, and few changes in posture during the workday. The overall objective was to analyze the available scientific evidence on neck pain and its relationship with exercise, posture, and cervical mobility factors.
Análisis de la cultura organizacional y liderazgo de los sistemas de gestión de salud y seguridad en empresas pequeñas. Una revisión de los últimos 10 años en Latinoamérica
Quintero-Sambony, Adriana Marcela; Martínez-Rincón, Mabel Lizeth; Guerrero-Cordero, Raymundo Nicolás ; Bueno-Castro, Diana Derly
This research aimed to analyze organizational culture and leadership in occupational health and safety management systems (OHSMS) in small Latin American enterprises over the last 10 years (2016–2026). The study was conducted using a qualitative, descriptive approach, based on a documentary review of indexed journal articles and other academic sources on safety culture, leadership and management systems in SMEs. A documentary analysis matrix was developed with 25 selected articles that met the inclusion criteria defined for the research, in which levels of organizational culture, leadership styles and organizational characteristics related to preventive management were identified. The results show that, in Latin American SMEs, reactive and calculative safety cultures predominate, with specific advances toward proactive and generative levels when top management assumes safety as a strategic value. It is also highlighted that transformational and participative leadership styles contribute to preventive commitment, mutual care among workers, and the consolidation of more sustainable management systems, in contrast to authoritarian, transactional, or delegative styles. In conclusion, strengthening the linkage between organizational culture, leadership and OHSMS is necessary to transform preventive culture and respond to the needs of small Latin American enterprises beyond mere legal compliance.
Análisis de la evidencia científica sobre la sobrecarga de rol y la multiplicidad de 1 funciones como condiciones organizacionales asociadas al deterioro de la salud mental del personal administrativo de pequeñas y medianas empresas (PYMES).
DAHIANA SOLER MONTAÑO; NANCY XIMENA GUEVARA GUEVARA
Contemporary work dynamics have undergone significant transformations as a result of globalization, the digitalization of processes, business competitiveness, and the need to optimize organizational resources. In this context, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) have adopted more flexible management models, characterized by leaner organizational structures, redistribution of responsibilities, and the simultaneous assignment of multiple functions to a single employee. While these strategies can promote productivity and organizational efficiency, they also alter certain conditions in the performance of work activities, increasing exposure to factors that can affect the physical and psychological well-being of workers. With regard to Occupational Safety and Health (OSH), these changes have generated an increased interest in understanding how the organization influences the mental health of workers. Initially, in recent years, research has shown that organizational conditions go beyond the administrative dimension and constitute a relevant determinant in the appearance of work stress, emotional exhaustion, burnout syndrome, and other alterations related to psychological well-being. With this, mental health has ceased to be considered an exclusively individual matter and is now recognized as a result linked to the way in which organizations design, distribute, and manage work. Among the organizational conditions that have aroused the greatest interest are role overload and multiplicity of functions, both of which reflect particular forms of work in which the same worker assumes diverse responsibilities, simultaneous expectations, and activities that in many cases correspond to different processes or positions in the organization. However, the information provided indicates that these concepts are not always addressed in a differentiated way. While some studies analyze them as manifestations of work overload, others react to them with role ambiguity, role conflict, or organizational demands, thus generating conceptual differences that hinder the integration of available knowledge and the formulation of specific preventive strategies. Therefore, it acquires special relevance in small and medium-sized enterprises, where structural and budgetary limitations favor the assignment of multiple responsibilities to administrative staff, which means that the same worker performs functions related to administrative management, human talent processes, customer service, purchasing, document management, payroll or the implementation of Occupational Safety and Health activities, without necessarily having a formal redefinition of the position or a proportional redistribution of the workload and without taking into account that these conditions can increase cognitive and emotional demands, affect the perception of control over the work and progressively compromise psychological well-being.
Análisis de las Estrategias de Mitigación del Riesgo Psicosocial en Teletrabajadores Administrativos en Colombia (2020–2026)
Lopez Ochoa John Andres; Puentes Paya Maricel; Herrera Ortega Veronica; Nancy Ximena Guevara Guevara
This monograph has as its main objective to analyze the Colombian legislation, technical guides and scientific literature published in a specific period between 2020 and 2026 on the management of psychosocial risk in administrative workers under the modality of telework. The study suggests that after the COVID-19 pandemic, this type of work modality had a significant increase in Colombian workers, leading us to an urgent need to identify strategies that contribute to the protection of mental health and the strengthening of the Occupational Safety Management System (SG-SST). The findings show that, although Colombia has a normative framework regulating telework and psychosocial risk management, gaps persist in the application of specific instruments to assess the risks arising from this type of work, such as self-assessment questionnaires, psychosocial assessments, interviews and remote observation. Some of the main factors are: social isolation, work overload, hyper-connectivity, difficulty with digital disconnection, and work-life imbalance. We conclude that it is necessary to strengthen the implementation of preventive strategies, which allow to promote the co-responsibility between employers, workers, and ARL, adapting assessment tools to the particularities of remote work, favoring healthy working environments, thereby protecting the mental health of Colombian workers
Análisis de los programas de intervención ergonómica en la reducción de trastornos musculoesqueléticos en trabajadores de oficina: una mirada a nivel mundial de los últimos 10 años
Cardozo Rojas Leidy Johana; Galeano Arias Tom Lester; Benitez Castiblanco Yeison
Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are a major occupational health problem among office workers due to factors associated with prolonged postures, repetitive movements, and inadequate ergonomic conditions. These disorders have consequences for both the health of workers and organizations, reflected in increased absenteeism, decreased productivity, and higher costs associated with medical leave. This research aims to analyze ergonomic intervention programs implemented worldwide over the past ten years to reduce musculoskeletal disorders in office workers. To this end, a review and analysis of the available scientific literature is conducted, identifying the most frequently used intervention strategies, the results obtained, and the factors influencing their effectiveness in different organizational contexts. The findings reveal the main preventive actions applied in the workplace, as well as the strengths and limitations of the implemented programs. At the same time, practices that have proven to contribute to reducing biomechanical risk factors and strengthening a culture of prevention in organizations are identified.
Análisis del comportamiento docente en la prevención de riesgos laborales en el entorno educativo - Analysis of teacher behavior in the prevention of occupational risks in the educational environment
Valencia-Arce, Danne Melissa; Bueno-Castro, Diana Derly
This investigation constitutesan analysis of the teacher as an active subject in the prevention of occupational risks in the school environment, knowing that they face a wide range of risks (physical, psychosocial, ergonomic, and vocal) that affect teñir health, well-being, and pedagogical work. The study is conducted from a qualitative and descriptive approach, through a review. According to three specific objectives, the results reveal that: (1) the most recurrent occupational risks in the educational field are stress, burnout, musculoskeletal disorders, voice problems, and precarious environmental conditions; (2) the preventive behavior of teachers is mainly unsatisfied or at risk, with a minority adopting compliant behaviors linked to institutional support, training, and workplace well-being; (3) among the most relevant prevention strategies were training, periodic inspections, and a package of actions of an ergonomic, environmental, and psychosocial nature (active breaks, vocal care, stress management, organizational adjustments). The results are discussed in light of the principles of the ILO and WHO, highlighting the gap between knowledge and preventive action, and the influence of structural factors (work overload, precariousness, lack of resources) on the implementation of safe practices. It is concluded that teaching behavior is not an individual trait but a response shaped by the organizational contexto and preventive culture.
CULTURA DE PREVENCIÓN Y SU INFLUENCIA EN EL COMPORTAMIENTO SEGURO DE LOS TRABAJADORES DEL SECTOR DE LA CONSTRUCCIÓN EN LOS ÚLTIMOS 10 AÑOS A NIVEL GLOBAL
JHOSSIMAR POLO VIDES
The objective of this monograph is to analyze the influence of a culture of prevention on the safe behavior of construction workers over the last 10 years, based on the compilation and analysis of legal and academic contributions from around the world. A descriptive research approach with a qualitative focus was adopted. Data was collected through a review of 25 selected academic works from databases of recognized scientific prestige such as Scopus, Scielo, and Redalyc. Documents were selected that provided both global information and specific data on sample countries such as Colombia, Ecuador, Chile, Brazil, Peru, Argentina, Germany, Spain, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Ethiopia, Nigeria, South Korea, Japan, and China. To organize the collected information, an Excel matrix was designed using the categories and variables outlined in the monograph. The results demonstrate the construction sector's contribution to the economic development of countries globally and its role in reducing unemployment rates. The high rates of risk, hazards, and accidents in the sector, as well as the lack of a culture of prevention and safe behavior among workers, were also observed.

Psychological well-being depends on having stable work that provides income, identity, life satisfaction, and social recognition. Unemployment or job insecurity can cause emotional suffering and mental disorders.
Desórdenes musculoesqueléticos en trabajadores de call center una mirada desde la prevalencia y los factores de riesgo. Musculoskeletal disorders in call center workers: a look at prevalence and risk factors.
Durango-Petro Jorge Francisco; Díaz-Parodi, Johanna Lucía; Mendoza-Parada, Yesica Yibet; Bueno-Castro, Diana Derly
The document analyzes musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) among call center workers, highlighting them as a frequent issue linked to working conditions such as prolonged postures, repetitive movements, continuous computer use, and high organizational demands. A literature review identifies neck pain and lower back pain as the most common disorders—primarily affecting the neck and back—with a high prevalence of symptoms in this population. The study concludes that the origin of these disorders is multifactorial, involving ergonomic, organizational, technological, and psychosocial factors; consequently, it emphasizes the importance of implementing occupational health and safety preventive measures—such as ergonomic workstation improvements, the promotion of active breaks, and self-care strategies—to reduce their impact on health and work performance.

Diseño de un programa de gestión ambiental para el manejo de residuos en una empresa del sector de postres: caso Dulce Jesús Mío
Centeno-Plata, Juan Ernesto; Taquez-Bueno, Luz Ayda ; Bueno-Castro, Diana Derly
This project focuses on designing an environmental management program for the comprehensive management of solid waste at the Dulce Jesús Mío dessert company in Bogotá. The main objective is to strengthen regulatory compliance (ISO 14001 and ISO 45001), optimize environmental performance, and mitigate occupational risks such as falls and injuries caused by inadequate waste management. A census conducted at its five locations identified critical issues such as deficiencies in source separation, a lack of technical storage areas, and the absence of metrics or generation records. Furthermore, a lack of formal environmental policies and a management approach based on empirical practices were evident. The proposed intervention uses the PDCA cycle (Plan, Do, Check, Act) to structure a systemic solution. The key elements include the provision of recycling points in accordance with Resolution 2184 of 2019, the upgrading of storage units, staff training programs, and the implementation of a digital system of key performance indicators (KPIs) to ensure traceability. In conclusion, this program will facilitate operational efficiency, reduce accidents, and ensure the organization's sustainability and legal compliance.
