Occupational RisksAbstract
According to the International Labor Organization-ILO, the origin of occupational diseases is related to exposure to ergonomic, physical, chemical, biological and psychosocial risk factors. The criteria used to qualify the origin of occupational diseases include that there is a causal relationship between the disease and an agent, an exposure or a specific work process, that the disease occurs in relation to the work environment and that there is scientific evidence of a well-defined pattern of disease after exposure and plausibility of the cause.1 Some of these factors have garnered more attention from occupationalists in the last decade, such as the topic of biomechanical risk and musculoskeletal disorders, which constitute the occupational diseases that are most frequently diagnosed; the topic of cardiovascular disease due to its high morbidity and mortality and its possible implications for the company both at the level of origin and consequences, and the issue of psychosocial risk.Downloads
