Abstract

This research proposed complementing the Occupational Health and Safety Management System (OHSMS) with ISO 45001 to reduce workplace accidents and illnesses in mining service companies, such as J. Ramón, Lima. The study began with an analysis of the OHSMS based on content or document analysis, specifically regarding 2016. This was then applied on-site, along with an analysis of reports on workplace accidents and illnesses from 2016 to 2018, and a survey. The study was initiated at the company to determine the relationship between the OHSMS and the reduction of workplace accidents and illnesses. This process identified hazards, established risks, and determined whether a relationship exists. The methodology used in the study is quantitative; results are obtained based on activity-based analysis, using records, observations, and surveys to determine the relationship. It was concluded that the OHSMS had a significant impact on the reduction of workplace accidents and illnesses, serving as a reference point for considering the findings and applying them in other companies or circumstances.
