Occupational safety studies are key tools to identify, evaluate and control occupational hazards that may affect the health and safety of workers. These studies make it possible to detect potential hazards and take preventive measures to avoid accidents or occupational diseases. Below, I explain how each type of accident is related to a corresponding safety study:
 
  1. Accidents due to falls (on surfaces or at a different level).
    Related study: Study of working environment conditions
    This survey analyzes the condition of the floor, stairs, handrails and other surfaces to prevent falls. Lighting, signage and traffic areas are inspected to ensure they are safe.
  2. Entrapment accidents (machines or tools)
    Related study: Mechanical and Machinery
    Hazard Analysis This study evaluates the safety of machinery, its maintenance and adequate safeguards to prevent entrapment or injury from contact with moving parts of equipment.
  3. Accidents due to impacts or collisions with objects (falling objects or collisions).
    Related study: Ergonomics evaluation and space distribution
    This study analyzes the organization of the workplace, ensuring that work areas are well organized and that objects are properly stored to avoid falls or collisions.
  4. Chemical exposure accidents (inhalation, skin contact)
    Related study: Chemical risk study
    An analysis of the chemical products used in the workplace is carried out, evaluating the exposure of employees to these products and determining control measures, such as adequate ventilation, use of personal protective equipment (PPE) and emergency protocols.
  5. Accidents due to overexertion or repetitive movements (muscular and skeletal injuries).
    Related study: Ergonomic assessment
    This study examines workstations for risks related to posture, heavy lifting and repetitive movements, and recommends adjustments to the layout of workstations or tasks performed to prevent musculoskeletal injuries.
  6. Electrical accidents (electric shocks, short circuits)
    Related study: Electrical risk analysis
    This study reviews the electrical installations, ensuring that they are safe and comply with regulations, as well as verifying that electrical equipment is properly insulated and that workers are trained to handle it safely.
  7. Fire and explosion accidents
    Related study: Fire risk assessment
    Studies are conducted to identify ignition sources, the presence of flammable materials, the adequacy of fire extinguishers and alarm systems, and evacuation routes in case of emergency.
  8. Psychosocial accidents (stress, harassment, burnout)
    Related Study: Psychosocial Risk Assessment
    This study focuses on workload, working conditions, and labor relations to identify factors that may generate stress or psychological discomfort in workers, proposing measures to improve the work environment.
     
    Workplace safety studies are essential to prevent these and other types of accidents, ensuring a safe, healthy and legally compliant work environment. At SEGUPREV, we help you identify risks and implement the appropriate solutions to protect your team and comply with safety regulations.
