What UNISALUD SESFAM does

UNISALUD, Sesfam Cía. Ltda. (operating as UNISALUD) is an Ecuadorian occupational safety and health (OSH) professional services firm headquartered in Quito. Founded in 1985 by Dr. Carlos Ordóñez Crespo, who serves as General Manager and holds a Master's degree in OSH registered with SENECYT, the company provides outsourced OSH and occupational medicine services to micro, small, medium, and large enterprises across Ecuador. Its offering spans two integrated service lines: Occupational Safety (risk matrix development, internal safety regulations, prevention plans, emergency plans, ergonomic and psychosocial risk evaluations) and Occupational Health (pre-employment, re-entry, and exit medical examinations, occupational health certificates, special examinations such as audiometry and spirometry, imaging, health surveillance, accident investigation, and regulatory reporting). Underlying the services are proprietary assessment methodologies aligned with international standards (OHSAS 18001, ISO 45001), including a COVID-19 biological risk evaluation method, an ergonomic task evaluation method, and psychosocial risk factor assessments using recognized frameworks (MPF, FPSICO, ISTAS, PSICOMAP).

The firm operates with a small team of approximately 6 employees and delivers services primarily on-site at client locations, with remote training delivered via Zoom. Its business model is professional services: enterprise engagements are quote-based, while packaged training products (such as COVID-19 biosafety training for educational institutions at $222-$370) are sold through an e-commerce storefront on the company website. Customer acquisition is sales-led through direct outreach, referrals, and free webinars, with marketing supported by a blog, social media (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn), email newsletters, and WhatsApp inquiry. Customers span multiple industries including manufacturing, environmental services, construction, water/aquaculture, and education. The company has no disclosed external investors, no funding rounds, no subsidiaries, no patents or trademarks, and no M&A activity, operating as a founder-led, privately held Cía. Ltda. (Ecuadorian limited liability company).

Broad incumbents

• Asepeyo: Asepeyo is a Spanish mutual society providing occupational risk prevention, health surveillance, and OSH consulting — directly analogous to UNISALUD's bundled safety + health service model, but at far greater scale and across multiple Spanish-speaking markets.
• SGS Occupational Health & Safety Services: SGS offers occupational health surveillance, workplace safety audits, and ISO 45001 certification services globally. Directly comparable to UNISALUD's combination of regulatory compliance support and health/safety risk assessments, but at multinational TIC scale.
• Quirónsalud Prevención: Quirónsalud's occupational health division delivers occupational medicine (medical exams, health surveillance) and workplace risk prevention to Spanish enterprises. Comparable to UNISALUD in offering outsourced OSH services combining clinical and safety consulting, but operating as part of a much larger healthcare group.
• Bureau Veritas Iberia / Latin America: Bureau Veritas provides certification, compliance, and OSH advisory (including ISO 45001 implementation) to enterprises globally, including in Latin America. Comparable to UNISALUD in helping clients meet occupational safety regulations and standards, but as part of a global TIC firm.
• Intertek Occupational Health & Safety: Intertek provides OSH-related testing, inspection, and certification (including ISO 45001) for industrial and commercial clients. Comparable to UNISALUD's regulatory-compliance angle, though focused on TIC rather than direct occupational medicine.

Regional players

• Medifé / OSH providers in Andean region: Regional occupational health providers in Andean and Southern Cone markets offer bundled occupational medicine and risk prevention services to enterprises, similar to UNISALUD's model, though operating in different South American geographies.

Direct peers

• Preving Consultores: Preving is a Spain- and Latin-America-active OSH services firm delivering occupational risk prevention, health surveillance, and safety consulting to SMEs and large enterprises — closely mirroring UNISALUD's positioning across micro-to-large company segments.
• ASPY (Activa Mutua): ASPY is a Spain-based prevention society (SPA) offering outsourced occupational risk prevention and occupational medicine to enterprises — virtually identical service mix to UNISALUD (risk assessments, health surveillance, training, ergonomic/psychosocial evaluations).
