This investigation allowed to evaluate the results of risk management in a mining operation. This highlights the importance of adopting preventive measures to control the causes of accidents. To this end, a methodology is developed that allows identifying and giving maximum attention to the existing critical risks, determined from evaluating and analyzing the information provided in the Accident Investigation Reports. Thus, the predominant work characteristics are recognized in the occurrence of accidents, to systematically address them and avoid the damage they generate. This methodology uses the Pareto Principle, to find in a practical way, those few characteristics of the work that still influence the accident rate, in which we must focus our management as a priority. It also allows identifying the ‘target audience’ that is the most affected by the damage. All this properly manage...

Se busca promover la prevención de riesgos laborales en la industria minera, pero también puede ser aplicable a otros sectores productivos. Propone una metodología eficaz para identificar los riesgos críticos existentes en las operaciones mineras, evaluando y analizando la información de los informes de investigación de accidentes. En esta investigación, el uso del principio de Pareto es fundamental. Permite de manera práctica reconocer aquellas pocas características del trabajo que influyen en la accidentabilidad y centrar en éstas toda nuestra atención. También permite establecer a qué público objetivo lo afecta, de manera que, se puedan determinar eficaces medidas de control para protegerlos y evitar nuevos eventos que los afecte. La propuesta de esta investigación puede adaptarse a muchas realidades. Es importante desde la generación de los reportes identificar aquell...
