Occupational risk is defined as the possibility of a worker suffering harm arising from the work they perform.
Workplace safety can only be ensured when risks are identified, and workers are adequately protected.
These risks can be minimised through the implementation of preventive measures, including:
Substituting hazardous substances with less hazardous ones wherever possible.
The use of Collective Protective Equipment (CPE) and Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).
Adequate workplace ventilation.
Proper storage and labelling of substances and containers.
Information and training for workers.
