Diagnosis and Identification of Psychosocial Risk Factors Present at the UPS Quito Campus

This project focuses on occupational health and safety, aiming to minimize workplace risks and safeguard the physical and psychological well-being of UPS collaborators, adhering to Ecuadorian regulations. The primary goal is to identify psychosocial risk factors present across UPS campuses, utilizing the Risk Matrix from the Ministry of Labor Relations as a framework. To achieve this, an experimental tool adapted to the Ecuadorian context, named BERLES, has been developed. The research is structured in phases, including the statistical analysis of the initial BERLES application, the design of results socialization workshops to propose mitigation plans, and the administration of a retest at the Quito headquarters to validate initial findings. Data correlation will allow for observing the trend of these factors and their impact on the work environment. Ultimately, the study will be expanded nationally to standardize the BERLES tool, contributing a diagnostic instrument tailored to local realities, thereby enabling administrative staff to perform their duties efficiently and safely.<br/><br/><b>Goal</b>: <br/>To diagnose and identify the status of psychosocial risk factors present across all campuses of the Salesian Polytechnic University (UPS), Quito headquarters, through the application and validation of an experimental diagnostic tool named BERLES.<br/><br/><b>Research lines</b>: <br/>nan
