Medidas eficaces para el control de la exposición a Formaldehído en trabajadores de un Servicio de Anatomía Patológica
ID: 21028
Por esta razón es necesario minimizar en lo posible la exposición del personal a formaldehído, estableciendo para ello rigurosas medidas de protección, tanto a nivel de instalación como de procedimientos de trabajo.
La experiencia en nuestro hospital aplicando estas medidas ha permitido que las concentraciones de formol a las que están expuestos los trabajadores se mantengan por debajo de los valores de referencia establecidos para el mismo, que son extremadamente bajos (0,37 mg/m3).
Este trabajo muestra una situación de excelencia fruto de una experiencia de 10 años de evolución en la incorporación de mejoras en el Servicio de Anatomía Patológica del Hospital Clínic de Barcelona, resultado de una intensa labor multidisciplinar.

Occupational Risks and Musculoskeletal Disorders at Industrial Moulds of Marinha Grande
ID: 21013
The objective of this study was to evaluate the degree of occurrence of MSD in workers in the mould industry, as well as obtain information regarding the localization of these lesions.
The data collected allowed to characterize the sample regarding to some aspects, as well as information concerning complaints with regard to MSD, causes, localization, intensity and frequency of pain.
The results show that workers perform repetitive tasks are in a standing up position for long periods of time and have few intervals. The most common musculoskeletal symptoms were located in the lower back, knees, arms and head, being the older workers who registered more symptoms, as well as more intense and permanent pain.
Risk Assessment for Occupational Exposure to Chemicals in an Electroplating Industry
ID: 21011
These methods are thus a valuable tool for the safety services of the companies can anticipate risks inherent to their activities that have a risk of exposure to hazardous chemical agents, in conjunction with the entry into force of the REACH and CLP Regulations, which oblige the annexation of scenarios of exposure to material safety data sheets of chemical substances and mixtures (for substances or mixtures marketed exceeding 10 t year).
These exposure scenarios describe the conditions under which the chemical should be used and to ensure the effective reduction of exposure, reaching in this way, the objective of protection of workers from the risks of exposure to chemical agents in a work context.

It was used a specific questionnaire adapted from the MBI method.
The analyses results appointed for no significant statistic correlation between Gender, Age, and Working hours and the three dimensions of Burnout - exhaustion, cynicism and professional efficiency.
