Industrial hygiene is the set of techniques that studies the physical, chemical or biological work environment to prevent the development of occupational diseases.
Not all jobs are at risk from a hygienic point of view. It will depend on whether there are contaminants in the workplace. The factors to consider in such a case are the following:
- The concentration of the contaminating agent in the work environment, since if we keep said concentration below certain values, the risk will be controlled.
- The exposure time: the longer, the more risk.
- The personal characteristics of each individual: the contaminant does not act the same on everyone, since there may be people who are hypersensitive to certain substances.
- The presence of several contaminating agents at the same time increases the risk.
