tenemos el derecho y el deber de
defenderla porque en definitiva es lo
mejor que tenemos
el primer paso será conocer dónde está
el riesgo
puede estar en las condiciones de
seguridad o de inseguridad
puede estar en el medio en el que se
desarrolla el trabajo
puede estar en la presencia de
contaminantes químicos físicos o
biológicos
puede estar en las exigencias físicas y
mentales del trabajo
puede estar en la forma de organización
en fin los riesgos profesionales están

piernas manteniendo la columna vertebral
recta
no llevéis pesos excesivos hay medios
para evitarlo
con los medios mecánicos hay que cuidar
la visibilidad de la carga no sea
excesiva y esté bien equilibrada
la electricidad puede producir
accidentes graves hay que realizar las
instalaciones con garantías
puesta a tierra de interruptor

i
las chapuzas podemos pagar las caras la
falta de limpieza y ventilación aumenta
el peligro de incendio los extintores
deben estar en lugares accesibles y
señalizados
higiene industrial
la presencia en el lugar de trabajo de
agentes contaminantes puede afectar a
nuestra salud en los centros de trabajo
hay que instalar los medios necesarios
para detectarlos y controlarlos el ruido
las vibraciones el calor los productos
tóxicos vapores o los contaminantes
biológicos deben mantenerse dentro de

ah
medicina laboral
en general es conveniente someterse al
reconocimiento médico una vez al año
y seguir las normas sanitarias de los
planes de prevención y campañas de
vacunación
las instalaciones sanitarias en los
centros de trabajo varían según el

formación
la evolución en los métodos de trabajo o
en los medios que se utilizan hacen
necesaria una adaptación por parte del
trabajador la falta de información puede
producir actitudes de rechazo
el objetivo de la formación es
proporcionar conocimientos cambiar
actitudes y mejorar la destreza en la
realización del trabajo contribuyendo
así en la prevención de accidentes y
enfermedades profesionales
la manera más adecuada para lograr esta
formación es a través de la
participación y el diálogo
ergonomía
se llama ergonomía a la ciencia que
planifica y diseña los puestos de
trabajo para que sean adecuados a las
personas que los ocupan
en el diseño y disposición del puesto de
trabajo es importante evitar los
movimientos inútiles
la altura del plano de trabajo debe
permitir que el cuerpo quede ligeramente
inclinado hacia adelante
la distancia entre el ojo y el objeto
debe favorecer la visión los mecanismos
que se manipulan estarán cerca del
cuerpo para reducir al mínimo la fatiga
el ambiente debe ser confortable
disponer de una iluminación adecuada
ventilación suficiente y exento de ruido
aplicando medidas preventivas eliminamos
los riesgos
en caso contrario el riesgo permanece
entonces se produce el accidente
se entiende por accidente de trabajo
toda lesión corporal que el trabajador
sufra con ocasión o a consecuencia del
trabajo que ejecuta por cuenta ajena
la permanencia prolongada en un ambiente
de trabajo nocivo puede ocasionarnos una
enfermedad
la enfermedad profesional se manifiesta
al cabo de los años de estar expuesto a
condiciones peligrosas
y es el resultado del deterioro
paulatino de la salud
la defensa de la salud es un derecho de
los trabajadores un deber de los
empresarios y un compromiso para el
estado
los organismos de la administración
dedicados a la prevención de riesgos
profesionales y mejora de las
condiciones de trabajo son los centros
de seguridad de higiene en el trabajo
sus labores de asesoramiento realizan
estudios sobre las condiciones de
trabajo imparten cursos publican libros
folletos elaboran estadísticas y
establecen planes de actuación para
contribuir a la mejora de las
condiciones de trabajo
pero eres tú el principal interesado
quien debe proteger tu propia salud
