Abstract

Abstract:This thesis describes and details the occupational risk assessment conducted at the CIMA Major Surgery Clinic, using the methodology proposed by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (INSHT). Through risk identification, classification, and assessment, the hazards associated with different positions in the surgical environment were addressed, including those of physicians, nurses, and support staff. Some risks were highlighted, such as mechanical, biological, ergonomic, and psychosocial risks, which can affect the health and safety of staff. The analysis of these risks allowed us to propose preventive and corrective measures to reduce the likelihood of occupational accidents and illnesses, ensuring a safe and healthy work environment. It is important to mention that this study contributes to the continuous improvement of working conditions, aligning itself with national and international occupational safety and health regulations. and, above all, fulfilling and enforcing the duties and rights of a worker in their work and professional life.
