Análisis de la estructura organizacional de seguridad y salud ocupacional, una revisión desde la legislación ecuatoriana

Abstract

The organizational structure of occupational safety and health today is an indispensable area within companies, regardless of the size of them for the control and management of risks. The concept of the organizational structure of occupational safety and health, as well as the elements that make up it require adequate research, so a bibliographic review of other authors describing theoretical and legal elements from scientific research and documentary review that allow methodological suggestions to be made enrich this research. Ecuadorian regulations provide for the organizational structure of occupational safety and health within the legislation, from the Constitution of the Republic to the regulations of its implementation, because the state views work as a right of all citizens, for this reason occupational safety and health is an area that will be established according to the needs of the organization, number of workers and business turnover. It should be noted that occupational safety and health within an organization plays the role of helping to identify, control, mitigating and taking security measures, for the inherent risks existing in the work environment, that affect the safety and health of all who are part of an organization.
