Abstract
VICENTE PARDO, José Manuel and LOPEZ-GUILLEN GARCIA, Araceli. Occupational diseases due to woodworking. Med. segur. trab. [online]. 2020, vol.66, n.259, pp.112-131. Epub Apr 05, 2021. ISSN 1989-7790. https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/s0465-546x2020000200005.
Occupational diseases due to woodworking within the woodworking industry are extremely diverse and linked in their causality to very different agents present in the multiple activities and occupations that range from logging, wood industry, furniture industry, manufacturing, construction and other industrial activities. The objective of this study is to establish the risks, to analyze and indicate the occupations and activities in which they are present, specifically review those occupational diseases listed in our table as occupational diseases, in relation to the various risks present in the work with the wood.
Conclusions:
The approach to diseases in woodwork is complex since multiple risk activities can cause them through different agents, sometimes even concurrent in the same work. The existence of multiple activities and agents makes it therefore difficult to prevent and analyze the impact on occupational health of this type of workers with wood and occupational diseases that may suffer. The table of occupational diseases should be updated according to scientific evidence. The filing and management of data should be improved for better prevention and assignment as occupational diseases.
Keywords : Occupational diseases; woodworkers, occupational disease; occupational hazards; wood diseases.
