Diseño de un Programa de Gestión en Riesgo Químico para los Laboratorios de la Facultad de Medicina de la Universidad Militar Nueva Granada

Abstract

This research project aims to design the program on chemical risk management for laboratories of the faculty of medicine at the Military University Nueva Granada, thereby obtaining the occupational risk prevention and reduction of environmental impacts from exposure not controlled to chemicals. The steps were carried out during the development of the research methodology were: initial diagnosis, evaluation and program design. The initial diagnosis was the review of the information, examine the existing inventory and conducting surveys regarding personal protective equipment and training on handling chemicals. For evaluation he was visited and inspected each of the areas that make up the medical school and identify the most important characteristics of facilities among which are: ventilation, lighting, storage place, cabinets, closets, shelves, areas washing, access points, alarm systems. Program design on chemical risk management has an updated inventory of the chemicals from each of the laboratories and storage warehouses, instructional management of chemicals, the compatibility matrix chemical areas, the matrix hazard areas and the protocol for disposal of chemical waste, in compliance with current Colombian regulations on Safety and Health at Work and allowing the development of the activities of all persons in safe spaces.
