Diseño de un sistema de gestión ambiental basado en la norma ISO 14001:2015 para una empresa de fumigación aérea

Abstract

CONDITION FOR PUBLICATION OF PROJECT. Aerial fumigation is a relevant activity for the agricultural sector, but it generates environmental risks that require systematic management. This project aims to design an Environmental Management System for an aerial spraying company in accordance with the ISO 14001:2015 standard. The proposed hypothesis is that the implementation of a structured system improves environmental performance and strengthens regulatory compliance. The research is justified by the need to integrate environmental considerations into operational management and to prevent impacts derived from the use of agrochemicals and fuel. The study was conducted using a descriptive-analytical approach, including documentary review, technical inspections, personnel interviews, and process analysis using flowcharts. Identification and assessment matrices were used to determine the significance of impacts based on criteria of magnitude, frequency, and severity. The results highlighted operational noise, effluent management, atmospheric emissions, and spill risk as priority aspects. It is concluded that the proposed design strengthens internal control, systematizes legal compliance, and promotes continuous improvement of environmental performance. Keywords: impact assessment, environmental risks, continuous improvement, operational sustainability.
