Abstract

TAMAYO RIVAS, Sheila  and  ARGOTA PEREZ, George. Matrix designed in occupational toxicology . MEDISAN [online]. 2012, vol.16, n.2, pp.160-166. ISSN 1029-3019.

A matrix was designed to prevent the risk in occupational toxicology, structured in 3 evaluation sections (presumed risk, advice risk and risk of working conditions and damages to health). Five menus were considered in the first section (sector, chemicals, referred toxicity, biomarkers and sentinel events); 6 in the second section (frequency of exposure, length of exposure, proximity to the source, means of protection and influence of posts) and 2 in the third one (evaluation of working conditions and damages to health). Given that it is a new management tool to estimate the toxicological risk, it contributes to preserve health in the work place.

Keywords : specific matrix; evaluation tools; risk prevention; occupational toxicology.
