Occupational Risk Prevention

ORP (Occupational Risk Prevention) refers to a set of actions, measures, and tools whose purpose is to anticipate, identify, and control the risks that may exist in any work activity. Its main goal is to ensure that workers carry out their tasks under safe and healthy conditions.

Work in the laboratory involves a series of risks with very diverse origins and consequences, mainly related to facilities, the products handled (as well as energies and living organisms), and the operations performed with them. With regard to products, it must be taken into account that they are usually very dangerous, although they are normally used in small quantities and intermittently. Consequently, risk prevention in the laboratory has specific characteristics that differentiate it from other productive areas.
