Health
Occupational health studies are essential to identify risk factors that may affect the health of workers, prevent occupational diseases and promote general well-being in the work environment. Below, I explain how each type of disease or risk is related to a corresponding health study:
- Respiratory diseases (due to exposure to dust, gases or vapors).
Related study: Ergonomic and Environmental Risk Study
This study evaluates exposure to hazardous agents in the air, such as dust, gases, vapors or fumes, and analyzes the need for adequate ventilation or the use of respiratory protection equipment (masks, respirators). - Musculoskeletal disorders (back, shoulder, wrist pain)
Related study: Ergonomic study
Studies are conducted to identify risks related to awkward postures, heavy lifting or repetitive movements, and adjustments to furniture, work posture and tools are recommended to reduce the risk of injury. - Dermal diseases (dermatitis, burns from contact with chemicals)
Related study: Chemical and Biological Hazards Study
This study evaluates the exposure of workers to chemicals that can cause skin reactions, recommending protective measures such as gloves, appropriate suits and protocols for the safe handling of chemicals. - Stress and psychosocial disorders (burnout, depression, anxiety)
Related Study: Psychosocial Risk Assessment
Work factors such as workload, interpersonal relationships, work pressure and organizational environment are analyzed to identify possible sources of stress or harassment and promote a healthy work culture. - Cardiovascular diseases (hypertension, heart attacks, strokes).
Related study: Ergonomic and General Health Risks Study
This study examines risk factors such as physical inactivity, excessive work pressure or working conditions that may contribute to heart disease, suggesting strategies for occupational wellness, active breaks and healthy habits. - Noise exposure (hearing loss, tinnitus)
Related Study: Noise Exposure Risk Study
The intensity and duration of noise exposure in the workplace is evaluated, recommending the use of hearing protectors and the implementation of technical controls, such as acoustic insulation of noise sources. - Communicable diseases (infections from contact with biological materials)
Related study: Biohazard study
This study analyzes the risks of exposure to pathogens (bacteria, viruses, fungi) in places such as hospitals, clinics or food industries, and establishes protocols for hygiene and the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) to prevent the transmission of diseases. - Radiation exposure (health problems due to ionizing or non-ionizing radiation)
Related Study: Radiation Risk Assessment
The level of radiation exposure in areas such as laboratories, hospitals or industrial plants is reviewed, ensuring that safety regulations are met and workers are protected by barriers or specialized equipment.
