Abstract

The results of a study based on the analysis of the occupational risks to which public cleaning personnel are exposed during the Covid-19 events are presented, taking into account the socio-labor characteristics. 212 employees from two municipalities in the city of Arequipa participated in the study, the RL-14 scale was applied to them and it was found that there is high exposure to occupational risks, also observing that there are several workers affected by other occupational diseases and infected with Covid- 19. It is concluded that public cleaning personnel in Arequipa present occupational risks due to the type of work they carry out on public roads, the main risks being psychosocial, physical, ergonomic and unsafe conditions.
