The objective of this research is to gather sufficient elements to implement a vibration monitoring and control program in various companies in the Tecamachalco region, in accordance with the permissible exposure limits suggested by ISO 2631-1 and in compliance with the Official Mexican Norm NOM-024-STPS-2001. It is about ensuring the wellness of workers, reducing the occupational risk and potential accidents that may occur as consequence. An investigation was done to determine the operating conditions of the companies, then an analysis was done to determine the existing vibration levels and based on this, make the most appropriate proposal to reduce the risks of deterioration of the health of workers by cause of equipment vibrations. The contribution of the research consists of making employers aware of the risks that workers have when being in contact with mechanical vibrations for long periods of time, with their repercussions in the medium and long term.
