Chemical Risk

Chemical risk represents one of the main concerns in the workplace and environmental fields, arising from exposure to potentially harmful chemicals that can affect human health and the ecosystem. This risk can manifest through inhalation, ingestion, or direct contact with chemical agents present in various forms, such as gases, vapors, liquids, or solids. The consequences of inadequate exposure can range from immediate and acute effects, such as irritations and burns, to chronic and severe damage, including respiratory, dermatological diseases, and forms of cancer. Therefore, the management and assessment of chemical risk are essential to ensure workplace safety and environmental protection, requiring specific preventive and control measures to minimize the impact of such substances.
