Study of working conditions, lighting and noise in a local commercial company

Possible actions to improve performance and job security in organizations emerge from work environment studies. The objective of this study was to generate prevention and/or control actions to reduce risk factors associated with lighting and noise. For its development, a questionnaire from the National Institute of Safety and Hygiene at Work (INSHT) was applied to establish the risk perception that workers have in relation to the lighting conditions in their workplace. Following this, Standards NOM025-STPS-2008 and NOM-011-STPS-2001 were applied, both related to Lighting and Noise Conditions in work centers respectively. As results, the levels of noise and lighting in different areas of the company were obtained, these levels were compared with what was stipulated in the Regulations and actions were generated with an orientation towards improving health, quality of life and increasing the efficiency of the workers.
