El Instituto Nacional de Seguridad y Salud en el Trabajo (NIOSH) ha publicado recientemente un nuevo estudio en el Revista Americana de Medicina Industrial<\/em><\/a>. Seg\u00fan el estudio, las ca\u00eddas siguen siendo una causa persistente de lesiones y muertes relacionadas con el trabajo, siendo los sectores de la construcci\u00f3n y del petr\u00f3leo y el gas los m\u00e1s peligrosos.<\/p>\n

Un estudio revela que las ca\u00eddas siguen siendo una de las principales causas de muerte en el lugar de trabajo<\/h4>\n

Los investigadores utilizaron datos de la Oficina de Estad\u00edsticas Laborales (BLS), el Censo de Lesiones Laborales Fatales y la Encuesta de Poblaci\u00f3n Actual de la BLS para determinar el n\u00famero de ca\u00eddas que se produjeron en entornos laborales entre 2003 y 2014. Descubrieron que las ca\u00eddas siguen siendo la segunda causa principal de muertes relacionadas con el trabajo entre los trabajadores estadounidenses.<\/p>\n

M\u00e1s concretamente, hubo un total de 8.880 ca\u00eddas mortales relacionadas con el trabajo durante el periodo de estudio<\/strong>. Las tasas de ca\u00eddas aumentaron con la edad de los trabajadores, y la tasa de mortalidad m\u00e1s alta se registr\u00f3 entre los trabajadores de 65 a\u00f1os o m\u00e1s. Las ocupaciones con las tasas m\u00e1s elevadas fueron las de la construcci\u00f3n y extracci\u00f3n de petr\u00f3leo y gas<\/a>e instalaci\u00f3n\/mantenimiento\/reparaci\u00f3n. Los trabajadores hispanos tambi\u00e9n presentaban un mayor riesgo, con la tasa m\u00e1s elevada de ca\u00eddas mortales en comparaci\u00f3n con los trabajadores blancos (no hispanos).<\/p>\n

Los investigadores concluyeron que las ca\u00eddas son una fuente persistente de muertes relacionadas con el trabajo, y que las empresas deben seguir trabajando en la prevenci\u00f3n a trav\u00e9s del dise\u00f1o, y en la mejora de la protecci\u00f3n contra ca\u00eddas y la formaci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n

Durante la semana del 7 al 11 de mayo de 2018, la Administraci\u00f3n de Seguridad y Salud Ocupacional (OSHA) y NIOSH se asociaron con programas estatales de consulta y organizaciones de capacitaci\u00f3n para una vez m\u00e1s sensibilizar sobre los riesgos de ca\u00eddas en todo el pa\u00eds<\/a>. Durante esa semana, se anim\u00f3 a los empresarios a hablar directamente con los empleados sobre seguridad y a hacer una pausa para centrarse en los peligros y la prevenci\u00f3n de ca\u00eddas.<\/p>\n

Los Centros para el Control y la Prevenci\u00f3n de Enfermedades (CDC<\/a>) afirma que las ca\u00eddas son la causa n\u00famero uno de muertes de trabajadores de la construcci\u00f3n<\/a>que representan un tercio de las muertes laborales del sector. La OSHA afirma que, desde que se inici\u00f3 la campa\u00f1a, millones de trabajadores han participado en ella y se han celebrado actos en los 50 estados.<\/p>\n

Los empresarios son responsables de implantar sistemas de seguridad<\/h4>\n

OSHA<\/a> ha identificado las \"cuatro causas fatales\" en el sector de la construcci\u00f3n: las cuatro causas de accidentes mortales en la construcci\u00f3n. Entre ellas figuran:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Cataratas<\/li>\n
  2. Golpe por objeto<\/li>\n
  3. Electrocuci\u00f3n<\/li>\n
  4. Atrapados en el medio<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Estos cuatro fatales fueron responsables de m\u00e1s de la mitad (63,7%)<\/strong> de las muertes de trabajadores de la construcci\u00f3n en 2016, seg\u00fan el BLS. La OSHA afirma que eliminar los cuatro mortales salvar\u00eda la vida de 631 trabajadores en Estados Unidos cada a\u00f1o.<\/p>\n

    La OSHA se\u00f1ala tambi\u00e9n que las empresas infringen a menudo las normas de seguridad destinadas a proteger a los empleados de estos peligros. Por ejemplo, los empleados deben instalar sistemas de protecci\u00f3n contra ca\u00eddas, como barandillas, redes de seguridad y sistemas personales de detenci\u00f3n de ca\u00eddas. Los empleados deben estar protegidos contra las ca\u00eddas a trav\u00e9s de agujeros situados a m\u00e1s de dos metros por encima de los niveles inferiores, as\u00ed como cuando trabajan en el borde de una excavaci\u00f3n.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
