Characterization of the current state of industrial safety and hygiene areas in the meat production sector of the city of Pasto
In the city of Pasto, butcher shops do not have industrial safety and hygiene regulations. The owners of these establishments have low levels of education and training, which hampers the development of the region’s economy. It is thus of great importance to assess the current state of industrial safety and hygiene areas. There is a number of benefits that can be obtained from the implementation of hygiene and safety subprograms, since butcher shops improve their products and can remain competitive in the market if this is done. These observations motivated the research project “Characterization of the current state of industrial safety and hygiene areas in the meat production sector of Pasto city”, in 2011. The project was undertaken with the participation of teachers and students from the “eslinga” research group of the Industrial Engineering Program of the Universidad Cooperativa de Colombia at Pasto. The research allowed us to clearly identify the main weaknesses present in the meat production industry concerning industrial safety and hygiene; this will promote the improvement of said conditions and the service that can be provided for the community.
