Propuesta para utilizar la programación neurolingüística como herramienta de apoyo para la prevención de riesgos laborales en PYMES ecuatorianas

Abstract

At present, the management of occupational risk prevention is quite technical, so that it is possible to identify, measure, eliminate or mitigate occupational hazards and occupational diseases, however, it has been neglected to change unsafe behaviors to safe behaviors, as well as transforming the perception that workers have against the prevention of occupational hazards to a win-win perception between the worker and the organization in such a way that it generates a value of importance and benefit for both staff and managers of the companies. This academic essay proposes to use certain tools of Neurolinguistic Programming as a support in the prevention of occupational hazards, for which four essential points have been estimated in this essay: the first point is to determine the perception that workers of Ecuadorian SMEs have on the prevention of occupational hazards using the Occupational Health-Safety Indicator Test (ISL); the second point is to list the substandard acts that are most repeated in companies; as a third point, neurolinguistic programming techniques that can help in the management of occupational risk prevention are mentioned; Finally, in the fourth point some playful methods are presented that are applied and that have had a great impact on the prevention of occupational hazards in other countries such as Peru and Spain.
