Evaluación de riesgos químicos en el laboratorio de nuevos materiales de la UTPL

Abstract

Abstract: This final degree project focuses on the evaluation of the chemical risks present in the New Materials Laboratory (LNM), where various commercial-grade chemical reagents under supervision are handled and studied; In the same way, synthesis and characterization of materials applied to industrial and bioregeneration processes are carried out. The study aims to identify hazards associated with material toxicity, potential exposure of researchers, storage conditions, and handling practices. Using a combined methodology of qualitative and quantitative assessments, risk factors have been analysed to develop a comprehensive risk management and mitigation framework. The findings provide specific recommendations to improve safety protocols, thus promoting a safe and healthy work environment. This study not only seeks to comply with current safety regulations, but also to contribute to the reduction of incidents and optimization of risk management within the LNM, promoting a proactive safety culture in the research of new materials.
