Abstract

Abstract: The present research work carried out the assessment of occupational risks present in the laboratories of the Department of Geosciences, specifically in the ¨Beneficio de Minerales¨ Laboratories and the ¨Geoquímica Analítica¨ Laboratory, by means of the General Risk Assessment method of the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (INSST) with the aim of preventing occupational risks identified at the site. The survey of information and risk assessment was conducted through the processes conducted in each of these laboratories, finding a total of thirty-one risks in the ¨Beneficio de Minerales¨ Laboratory and twenty-one risks in the ¨Geoquímica Analítica¨ Laboratory. The risk levels found in the laboratories are trivial, tolerable, moderate, important and one intolerable to which, preventive measures were did proposed to mitigate the possible adverse effects that may be reflected on the physical and mental integrity of the workers.
