RESUMEN
RESUMEN El presente trabajo tiene por objetivo proponer un programa de vigilancia ambiental y de salud para trabajadores expuestos a agentes químicos en fundiciones de cobre. La metodología fue en base a revisión bibliográfica en inglés y en español, búsqueda manual dirigida y criterio de expertos por medio de entrevistas cualitativas no estructuradas. El proceso de búsqueda se dividió en dos etapas, la primera orientada a responder dos preguntas relacionadas al estado del arte de programas preventivos de exposición y, la segunda, relacionada a búsqueda de referencias orientada a la vigilancia ambiental y de la salud en el trabajo. Se seleccionaron artículos científicos, donde se identificaron protocolos, normas, estándares y documentos de diversas organizaciones para la vigilancia ambiental y de la salud, desde los cuales se realizó una nueva búsqueda manual dirigida, sustentada por la directrices señaladas por expertos de las áreas de Higiene y Salud Ocupacional que colaboraron en el diseño del programa. Como resulado, los puntos más importantes fueron la identificación, evaluación y control de los agentes en contacto con los trabajadores como As, Hg, Pb, SO2, SiO2, Cd, Cr, Zn y Cu; propuesta de los niveles de riesgo y exposición en base a la presencia y el contacto de los contaminantes; se determinaron los niveles de acción para la vigilan cia ambiental y de la salud en niveles de 1 a 5; y finalmente los exámenes médicos y su periodicidad.
ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT This work aims to propose an environmental and health surveillance program for workers exposed to chemical agents in copper foundry. The methodology was based on a bibliographical review in English and Spanish, directed manual search and expert judgment through unstructured qualitative interviews. The search process was divided into two stages; the first one aimed answering two questions related to the state of the art of preventive exposure programs, and the second, related to reference search aimed at environmental monitoring and health at work. Scientific articles were selected, where protocols, norms, standards and documents from various organizations for environmental and health surveillance were identified, from which a new manual search was conducted, supported by the guidelines indicated by experts from the areas of Hygiene And Occupational Health that collaborated in the design of the program. As a result, the most important points were the identification, evaluation and control of agents in contact with workers such as As, Hg, Pb, SO2, SiO2, Cd, Cr, Zn and Cu; Proposal of risk and exposure levels based on the presence and contact of pollutants; the levels of action for environmental and health surveillance were determined at levels 1 to 5; And finally the medical examinations and their periodicity.
