Good Practice Guide to avoid the risk of exposure to Carcinogens

As we have been doing every month, we present a new good practice guide, in this case it is our Good Practice Guide to avoid the risk of exposure to carcinogenic agents, which we have developed in collaboration with Prevencontrol. This guide, like all the remaining 14, explains a complicated topic to us in a dynamic, innovative and simple way. All of us get goosebumps just by mentioning the word cancer, but the first step to combat a risk is to know it, and following this line we have developed this guide, which we do not hide from you has been one of the most complicated of the entire set of guides. Although, as often happens with difficult things, it is one of the things that has allowed us to grow the most in knowledge.

But, what is the objective of this guide? The objective, as always, is to shed light on a topic that is already dark, we are going to try to raise awareness and provide tools to detect, signal and safely use the agents that cause cancer. First we must know where we may have the risk and then implement measures. We will give examples of good practices that can be applied to companies to avoid them.

In a fun way, we are going to tell you examples of jobs that are not normally described in the current guides, like this one from María, an example of a worker in a mine for a short time:

Also, we think it is important to highlight relatively simple techniques that can be applied to avoid the risks of exposure in the case of carcinogenic agents, like this:

We are not going to tell you the entire guide here, we recommend that you read it slowly and exhaustively, but as always we include here a good practice that, as you can see, is easy to put into practice to avoid the much-feared cancer:

All our guides have the same structure:

• A brief introduction where the guide is put into place.
• A presentation and objectives section that reflects what is intended with this guide and the target audience.
• Central part with the different chapters, within which practical and accessible content will be included for all people who follow the guide. Each chapter includes:
  • Introduction.
  • Summary associated with the chapter.
  • Conclusions.
  • Final reflection questions.
  • Solutions.
• Final section with bibliography.
