El objetivo de la investigación fue determinar el primer nivel de Prevención en Atención Primaria en Salud, en lo que respecta a higiene laboral y su incidencia en la presentación de riesgos en la salud de los trabajadores recolectores de basura, caso del Gobierno Autónomo Descentralizado, GAD, del cantón Marcelino Maridueña, provincia del Guayas, Ecuador. En esta investigación se señala como uno de los problemas: el desconocimiento y el manejo de los respectivos protocolos de salud en cuanto a la protección de la integridad del trabajador. Se comprobó en el proceso de recolección de datos por medio de la encuesta, que no existe Atención Primaria en Salud, donde se prevenga enfermedades y riesgos de contraerlas. La Bioseguridad por medio de la protección con el equipo y materiales apropiados es de suma importancia dentro del área de recolección de basura; de eso depende el cuidado y prevención de enfermedades causadas por virus o microorganismos que incurran en cuadros clínicos complicados para la salud de los operarios, y, poder realizar sus actividades con la seguridad y confianza respectiva. Abstract The aim of this research was to determine the first level of prevention in primary health care in regard to occupational health and its impact on the presence of risks in the health of garbage collector workers from the Canton Marcelino Maridueña, GAD, Guayas province, Ecuador. In this research, it is identified as one of the problems: the lack of knowledge and management of the health protocols concerning the protection of the integrity of the worker. Based on the data collection process of the survey, it was proved that there is no primary health care to prevent the risks of acquiring diseases. Biosecurity through protection with appropriate equipment and materials is essential in the area of garbage collection; these elements are the base for the care and prevention of diseases caused by viruses or microorganisms that present complicated medical conditions for the health of workers, so they can be able to carry out their activities with safety and appropriate confidence.
