Revisão bibliográfica sobre a importância da segurança em laboratórios de análises químicas

Abstract

In Brazil, when we relate work with chemical products, there are alarming numbers in relation to the number of accidents perceived. Chemical Safety is carried out through the environment of all activities guaranteed by chemical products in order to ensure the safety of human health and the environment. It covers all chemicals, natural and manufactured, and the full range of exposure circumstances, from the natural presence of chemicals in the environment to their elaboration or synthesis, industrial production, transport, use and disposal. Therefore, this work aims to report the determination objectives, the importance of using techniques and reduction methods. Chemistry has been advancing continuously with updates of standards and legislation, which aim at an improvement without safety, but there are still many accidents in the work environment. As a result, an assessment tool using an assessment list of existing risks is quite efficient and effective. The survey of information contained in standards, legislation, documents and literature listed important, clear and objective topics for preparing the checklist. The study of this research was motivated by the search for which items should be thought of to identify possible risks.
