Prevention in the Hospital Pharmacy Service

This document evaluates the occupational risks of different positions in a hospital, focusing on the staff of the pharmacy service. Following the risk assessment in three technical areas, preventive controls are proposed: Occupational Safety: the INSST framework is used to assess risks of pharmacy technician accidents in the warehouse, identifying occupational hazards and applying a general method where there is no specific one, as well as proposing additional assessments as needed.Industrial Hygiene: Biological risk is evaluated in an analyst who handles samples to measure plasma levels of drugs, applying BIOGAVAL-NEO as a specific methodology.Ergonomics and Applied Psychosociology: The postural load of the unidose pharmacist, whose work is mainly performed on a screen, is analyzed using the ROSA method to assess ergonomic risks.
