Riesgos biológico y químico en planta de compostaje de ingenio azucarero, Valle del Cauca, Colombia.

The chemical and biological risk, there are the main risks to which there are exhibited the collaborators of the plant of composting of the sugar ingenuity, undoubtedly it is possible of illnesses of respiratory type and of the skin, as well as of infectious illnesses, which affects straight the productivity of the company. There was used a descriptive study which methodology was realized in three phases, the first one of diagnosis and identification of dangers, immediately according to the results of the lists of checkup, a counterfoil DOFA was realized, then the problems trees turned into targets trees replacing each of the problems and consequences for the solutions, this way there were defined the priority targets to be tackled, to reach the actions of progress in the process of the composting. Of the obtained results it is highlighted that the biological risk has a risk interpretation III (tall, improvable) and represents 55,6 %, while the chemical risk with a risk interpretation I (very tall, critical) represents 44,4 %. Also it must be mentioned that the composting plant presents a deficit in the measurements of prevention and protection for the nonperformance of the current legal regulations in safety and health. It is important that the composting plant begins managing the fulfillment of the established in the program of intervention proposed for the same one, for thus diminish the vulnerability of the personnel exposed to biological and chemical risks.
