 This exhibition will talk about occupational hazards.
Occupational risk prevention tries to act on those factors or working
conditions that can negatively affect the health of the worker. In other
words, the prevention of occupational hazards seeks to protect the health
of workers.
It is also a set of techniques aimed at recognizing, evaluating and
controlling environmental risks that can cause accidents and / or
occupational diseases. Occupational prevention also requires analyzing
and evaluating, through a set of techniques, mechanical, physical,
chemical, biological, psychic, social modifications, etc. that occur in the
workplace, in order to determine to what degree, positive or negative,
affect the health of the worker.
• Occupational risk is understood
as the dangers existing in a
specific profession and
professional task, as well as in
the environment or workplace,
susceptible to causing
accidents or any type of loss
that may cause damage or
health problems, both physical
and psychological. The best
way to avoid occupational risks
is through their prevention
through the implementation of a
Management and Safety System
at Work, the requirements of
which are established by the
OHSAS 18001 standard.
 • Work place: electrical
• Risk factors are directly installations, gases, fire
related or dependent on prevention, ventilation,
temperatures, etc.
safety conditions.
• Organization of work:
These will always have physical and / or mental load,
their origin in one of the organization and planning of
following four aspects work, monotony, repetitiveness,
absence of creativity, isolation,
of the work: participation and contribution
of ideas, turnicity, etc.
• Type of activity: this factor is
influenced by both the work
equipment used and the work to
be done, such as the handling
of loads or repetitive postures.
• Raw materials: flammable
materials, dangerous
chemicals, etc.

 Physical
Hazards
One of the first physical
hazards we encounter is
noise. We define noise as a
generally unpleasant
auditory sensation.
 Chemical
hazards
They are those
produced by chemical
processes and by the
environment. Illnesses
such as allergies,
suffocation, or viruses are
caused by inhalation,
absorption, or ingestion.
Biological Hazards
These types of risks are those produced by
possible exposure to microorganisms such as
viruses, bacteria, parasites or fungi, which
can lead to different diseases.
Ergonomic Risks
Ergonomics is the science that seeks to
adapt holistically to the workplace and to
man. The main ergonomic risk factors are:
improper posture, weight lifting, repetitive
movement. It can cause physical and
annoying damage.
Psychosocial Risks
There are many types of risks of this nature,
which can affect all of us at some point in our
working lives, but among them we can highlight
stress, derived from a high work rate, work
fatigue, monotony ...
Mechanical Risks
These types of risks can occur when carrying out actions that require the use
of tools of any kind. Accidents that can occur due to this type of risk are those
in which bodily injuries occur such as blows by projected or detached objects,
burns, cuts, any type of contusion

Environmental risks
These types of risks are the only ones that we cannot control because they
are the possibility of damage or catastrophe caused by human action or a
natural phenomenon.
 The growth and development of industries and
technology has resulted in increased risks and
accidents at work. These risks are multiple and
varied, and their appearance depends on
various factors of which the three main are: the
technical team, the working environment and the
worker.
