Abstract

The present work denotes the characterization of the health and working environment conditions of the Colombian Association of Veterinary Physicians dedicated to the small species clinic in Valle.

For the development of this work, a descriptive analysis was carried out that diagnosed the risk situation in the companies, as well as the perception of risk by the collaborators, which were necessary to determine the intervention proposal.

Among the results identified, it was established that despite not reporting high accident rates and occupational diseases by these companies, it is observed that in most of them there is a situation of health conditions and the work environment, relatively stable

However, improvement actions that allow risk reduction should be implemented, since many of these companies do not have occupational health and safety programs that allow them to measure and mitigate potential occupational hazards.

In this sense, the improvement strategies basically focused on four work fronts consisting of 1. Reducing the accident rate and occurrence of occupational diseases, 2. Implementing good manufacturing practices that promote prevention and control according to the identification of hazards , assessment and assessment of risks, 3. Comply with the applicable national regulations applicable to occupational hazards, and 4. Strengthen occupational safety and health knowledge, through the implementation of the annual Training Plan.
