Introduction
In November 2020, the previous regulatory provision was repealed
and the second version of the technical document called "Guidelines
for health surveillance of workers at risk of exposure to SARS-CoV-
2" was approved due to scientific progress and information provided
by the Directorate for Prevention and Control of Noncommunicable,
Rare and Orphan Diseases. The duty of prevention of employers,
the role of supervision and control of the State and the participation
of workers and their trade union organizations, who, through social
dialogue, ensure the promotion, dissemination and enforcement of
regulations on the subject", and its guiding principles are prevention,
responsibility, cooperation, information and training,
comprehensive management, comprehensive health care,
consultation and participation, primacy of reality, and protection. Its
Regulations are approved by means of and subsequently modified
on several occasions.

Occupational Safety and Health is defined as the process that
includes activities aimed at promoting the prevention of risks to civil
servants in the performance of their work that may affect their health
or integrity, as well as the protection of the entity's assets and the
environment. Expected products: Occupational health and safety
plan and programs, OSH training plan, Occupational health and
safety incident record, OSH diagnosis (Hazard Identification and
Risk Evaluation - IPER), among others.
Therefore, it is clear that "OSH is a process that is part of the Human
and Social Relations Management System that makes up the
Administrative System of Human Resources Management in public
entities", so that the Human Resources Office, or the one that takes
its place in the entity, is the office in charge of its management and
compliance with the provisions.
It envisages the employer's duty to communicate to its workers in an
adequate and effective manner, the necessary information and
knowledge in relation to the risks in the workplace and in the specific
position or function, as well as the protection and prevention
measures applicable to such risks. The employer also has the duty
to provide its workers with the appropriate personal protective
equipment, according to the type of work and specific risks present
in the performance of their duties, when the occupational risks or
their harmful effects on health cannot be eliminated at their source,
it verifies the effective use of the same.
In this context, and according to its budget availability, the Local
Educational Management Unit of Ventanilla has implemented
preventive measures and actions to preserve people's health and
continue providing services to citizens through the virtualization of
some administrative procedures. To date, priority has been given to
mixed work for the development of the entity's own activities as
planned. Plúas, points out that "occupational health and industrial
safety form an inseparable binomial that guarantees the
minimization of occupational risks and the prevention of accidents
at work". who describes the difference between the two indicating
that "Industrial safety concentrates on unsafe acts and conditions,
while occupational health concentrates on health risks, and as a
logical consequence, industrial safety studies accidents and
occupational risks with a preventive and investigative approach,
Sinergias Educativas

http://sinergiaseducativas.mx/index.php/revista/
93
while occupational health studies occupational diseases based on
early diagnosis and pertinent treatment. Likewise, occupational
health encompasses industrial hygiene, occupational medicine and
occupational mental health; while industrial safety encompasses
ergonomics and environmental analysis." (2020, p. 34).
For his part, Anaya-Velasco, (2017) indicates that "The health and
safety of people are fundamental to achieve a full life, a better work
performance and the development of potentialities in different
aspects and areas of their lives. For this reason, and in order to
protect them, there are international conventions and national legal
frameworks that recover scientific and technological advances in
health, safety and hygiene at work, environmental care and civil
protection".
According to Benavides et al. "Surveys on working conditions,
employment and health have been consolidating as an effective tool
for an adequate monitoring of workers' health". ( 2016 p. 4).
In addition to the above, Arias et al. states that "Industrial safety is
one of the multidisciplinary areas with the most tools, techniques and
models to intervene in human actions or behaviors in the face of risk,
and for this purpose it strategically uses training, coaching and
permanent learning from experiences as a basis". , (2019 p. 4).
Materials and methods
The research proposal was to determine the impact of the
implementation of measures for the surveillance, prevention and
control of COVID-19 in the Ventanilla Local Educational
Management Unit, using the technique of bibliographic and
documentary review of primary sources with a descriptive
qualitative approach with a research design based on grounded
theory.
According to (Persigo et al., 2020) the process of documentary
research arises from the collection of information and data through
reading, giving an important meaning to the research source
bibliography. In other words, documentary research is part of
scientific research and allows developing skills and attitudes in the
researcher that are required for the selection and collection of
information such as inquiring, analyzing, interpreting and reflecting
Sinergias Educativas
July - September Vol. 6 - 3 - 2021
http://sinergiaseducativas.mx/index.php/revista/
94
on the theoretical and empirical realities, data and information
obtained regarding a given topic.
This research was conducted under a descriptive qualitative
approach, taking into account that in these studies the purpose of the
research is to describe how certain phenomena or situations are
manifested, thus submitting to analysis various aspects, dimensions
or components of the phenomenon to be investigated. In this regard,
several authors have spoken out and they were not the exception
because they stated that in a descriptive study it is necessary to select
a series of questions that will be independent objects of analysis for
the description of what is being investigated.
Thus, grounded theory is considered a qualitative research design
that allows the researcher to inquire into the unknown to provide
knowledge about a specific phenomenon, but its importance lies in
the fact that it is advisable to use this research design when there is
little knowledge about the phenomenon to be investigated.
It should also be pointed out that narrative or qualitative scientific
review articles are classified according to the nature of the review,
which can be exhaustive, descriptive and evolutionary. This
scientific article is a descriptive review because, according to what
is stated by "it provides the reader with an update on useful concepts
in areas in constant evolution because it is very useful in different
fields of education and of interest to people with related knowledge"
(Merino-trujillo, 2013 p. 32). The same author also specifies that
"The review article is considered as a detailed, selective and critical
study that examines the published literature and places it in a certain
perspective", furthermore that "it is not an original publication and
its purpose is to conduct research on a given topic, in which the
relevant and necessary information concerning the research problem
to be addressed is gathered, analyzed and discussed". (Merino-
trujillo, 2013 p. 35).

That, the "Protocol for the resumption of face-to-face activities of
the administrative personnel of the public educational institutions of
the UGEL Ventanilla, 2020" establishes an action protocol for the
gradual and safe resumption of face-to-face activities of the
administrative servants of the public educational institutions of the
jurisdiction of the UGEL VENTANILLA 2020, in the context of risk

contemplated in DS 008-2020-SA or the period provided by the
National Civil Service Authority under the current regulations, with
enjoyment of remunerations subject to subsequent compensation, to
eight (08) servers hired under the special regime of Administrative
Contracting of Services - CAS, of the Administrative Headquarters
UGEL Ventanilla for the budget year 2020, since due to the nature
of their functions it is not possible the development of remote work.
That, with Directorial Resolution No. 2345 dated 05.13.2020,
thirteen (13) public servants appointed and hired under the Labor
regime of Legislative Decree No. 276, of the administrative
headquarters UGEL Ventanilla, were authorized to provide services

headquarters UGEL Ventanilla, were authorized to provide services
through remote non face-to-face work from home or place of
domiciliary isolation, during the state of national emergency or the
period provided by the National Authority of the Civil Service.
The Personnel Office sent to all area chiefs and office managers the
document entitled "Complementary guidelines for remote work in
UGEL Ventanilla, in the framework of the COVID-19 emergency",
to be disseminated among the employees of each office in order to
comply with the regulations in force.
Through the heads or persons in charge of each area or office, it
carried out the process of identifying the employees who, due to the
nature of their functions, should perform remote work as of March
16, 2020 and from their domicile or place of social isolation, while
the State of National Emergency lasts, as established in num 18.1.13
of art. 18° of DU. N°026-2020.

026-2020, in order to implement remote work from their home or
place of home isolation, for which they should use the means that
allow to record the individual communication through any physical
support (written document) or digital (institutional email, instant
messaging applications, social networks or other similar). Likewise,
and in accordance with the provisions of num. 5.5 of art. of DS.
N°010-2020-TR, the entity instructed them to assign activities by
products and deadlines that would allow them to account for the
actual work performed, as well as to indicate the means by which
follow-up, supervision or monitoring of the work would be carried
out.
That, by means of Memorandum 460-2020/J.AGI/UGEL
VENTANILLA dated 01.06.2020, the Institutional Management
Area transferred to the Administration Area Report N°181-
2020/UGEL-VENTANILLA/AGI/INFRA dated 05.29.2020, with
which it proposed the gauges and distributions of the personnel of
the UGEL Ventanilla post-forty headquarters.
Subsequently, and considering the need to restart face-to-face work
at the administrative headquarters in order to expedite the pending
procedures resulting from the COVID -19 emergency and giving
priority to remote work for that server who is part of the so-called
risk group by age and clinical factors, the UGEL Ventanilla disposed
with Directorial Resolution No. 3423 dated 30.10.2020, to approve
the "Directive that regulates the implementation of mixed modalities
of service provision in the local educational management unit
ventanilla in the framework of the national health emergency",
which establishes the guidelines for the implementation of mixed
modalities of service provision in the entity, in the framework of the
exceptional temporary measures on Human Resources Management
in the Public Sector in the face of the health emergency caused by
COVID-19, in order to ensure the gradual return of servers to
provide services in the workplace.
Likewise, with Directorial Resolution No. 3582 dated 11.11.2020,
the entity terminated the compensable leave granted by RD. 2342
and RD. 2343 dated 05.13.2020, in application of art. 10 of
Supreme Decree N° 116-2020-PCM and lit. a) of num. 2.1 of art.

headquarters of UGEL Ventanilla appointed and hired under the
labor regime of DL N° 276 and DL. No. 1057 to start working in the
on-site work modality.
That, with Directorial Resolution 3583 dated 11.11.2020,
authorized the variation of the modality of remote work authorized
by RD. 2345 and RD. 2346 dated 05.13.2020, to the mixed
work modality, in application of art. 10° of Supreme Decree 116-
2020-PCM and lit. a) of num. 2.1 of art. of Legislative Decree
N°1505, as of the day following the issuance of the resolution, to
thirty-one (31) servers of the administrative headquarters UGEL
Ventanilla.
And, by means of Multiple Oficio Multiple Nº0227-2020-DIR-
ADM-EPER-UGELVENTANILLA dated 30.12.2020, the UGEL
Ventanilla communicated to the directors of the jurisdiction that the
return to face-to-face work of the administrative personnel of the
II.EE, under the labor regime of Legislative Decree No. 276 and with
current employment relationship, to provide maintenance and ensure
the safety of the workplace; except for those servers who are part of
the so-called risk group by age and cynical factors, who must
continue in mandatory social isolation, so for such purposes they
should consider the importance of the necessary measures to avoid
crowds, enforce social distancing, set a schedule of entry and exit of
staff.
Discussion
During the investigation, the general objective was achieved,
according to the literature review carried out and its contrast with the
analysis of books, articles and scientific journals, theses, and legal
provisions in force at the national level that were enacted within the
framework of the health emergency due to COVID-19, it was found
that the Personnel Office of the Ventanilla Local Educational
Management Unit prepared the Plan for the surveillance, prevention
and control of COVID-19 at work, taking into account provisions
contained in Ministerial Resolution No. 448-2020-MINSA,
Legislative Decree No. 1505 and Law No. 29783, which was
approved by the Occupational Health and Safety Committee;
However, it must be updated and framed within the scope provided
