HYGIENE I, FUNDAMENTAL OF INDUSTRIAL HYGIENE - Coggle Diagram

- - - - Identification of toxins
        Studies to identify toxic substances or their metabolites constitute a valuable tool that allows reaching the etiological diagnosis of the disease, a fact that rarely happens in medicine.
  - - - Factors linked to the work environment
        Included in this group are the so-called “physical pollutants” (noise, vibrations, lighting, thermo-hygrometric conditions , ionizing radiation
      - Factors derived from the characteristic of the work
        It includes the demands of the task imposed on the individual who performs it (efforts, load handling, work posture, levels of attention, etc.) associated with each type of activity and determinants of the workload, both physical and mental.
      - Factors linked to security conditions:
        This group includes the material conditions that influence the accident rate: corridors and traffic surfaces; lifting devices and equipment, transport vehicles, machine tools, work spaces, electrical installations, etc.
      - Factors derived from work organization
        Included in this group are the factors due to work organizations (tasks that comprise it and their assignment to workers, schedules, speed of execution, hierarchical relationships, etc.) considering
  - - - A risk factor is a characteristic of the work that can increase the possibility of accidents or health conditions in workers.
        
        Risk control: Once the risk assessment has been carried out, it must be controlled by applying the operating techniques that are considered adequate for their elimination or reduction.
        
        Risk assessment: The value obtained in the previous estimate will allow different levels of risk to be established and their subsequent representation on the risk analysis matrix.
        
        Work accident: it is any bodily injury that the worker suffers on the occasion or as a consequence of the work that he performs as an employee.
- - - - A Risk Map is a graphic, a sketch, or a model, where the areas of the company that could be affected during the occurrence of an adverse event are identified and located.
        
        In the Risk Map, symbols or drawings are used to identify certain places that serve as reference points, such as : and colors to better indicate the specific risk areas that certain places have.
- - - - Risk analysis of a job is a relatively new discipline with ancient roots.
        
        Risk analysis is a multidisciplinary technique that uses concepts developed in various sciences, including toxicology, epidemiology, engineering, psychology, industrial hygiene, occupational safety, industrial safety, environmental impact assessment, etc.
  - - - The possibility of occupational poisoning through the gastrointestinal tract is practically reduced to individual actions derived from incorrect sanitary hygiene practices, such as drinking, eating, smoking in the workplace itself or with dirty hands.
        
        The penetration of substances can occur through ulcers, wounds, inflammation of the mucous membranes, etc. In these cases, the natural protection barrier has been altered and the pollutant has no obstacles to its entry into the bloodstream.
  - - - The use of checklists or check list has the advantage that it can be tailored based on the aspects that have to check on equipment, machinery, tools, facilities, materials, products used in production processes.
