Análisis del riesgo químico por material particulado en el proceso de molienda en la empresa Leopat

Abstract

This research is focused on a detailed analysis of the chemical risk associated with particulate matter in the grinding process carried out in the LEOPAT company, which specializes in the production and marketing of poultry inputs. The main purpose of this study is to comprehensively analyze the exposure of workers to such material during milling operations. In order to evaluate the company's conformity with environmental standards, the implementation of the UNE-EN 689:2019 standard was proposed as a fundamental tool, as well as the use of surveys that allow to know the company's situation. This methodological approach allowed a rigorous evaluation of the levels of particulate matter present in LEOPAT's work environment, comparing them with the established limit values. In addition, the research comprehensively addressed the various routes of exposure to particulate matter within the milling process. A detailed analysis of the frequency and duration of exposure was carried out in order to identify significant patterns and determine the possible correlation with the occurrence of health risks to workers. As an integral part of this study, specific control measures were proposed to help mitigate the risks associated with particulate matter in LEOPAT's work environment. These measures were designed to strengthen the safety and health of workers by effectively addressing the potential negative impacts resulting from continuous exposure to this chemical agent. It is anticipated that the implementation of these measures will not only meet regulatory standards, but will also result in the effective minimization of risks associated with particulate matter in the milling process.
