HEALTH AND SAFETY IN THE PRINTING INDUSTRY
In the printing sector it is necessary to take into account all the risks mentioned above and the consequences they could have if they were to occur, since due to the machinery and the way in which employees perform their work, there is a greater probability that some of them could suffer an accident.
In general, we can classify the possible risks as follows:
Mechanical hazards: the workplace, machinery, objects and tools used to perform the activities assigned to your personnel.
Chemical or physical hazards: chemical hazards focus on chemical contaminants, such as gases or vapors; physical hazards include noise, cold or heat, fire, explosions.
Biological hazards: bacteria, viruses, fungi, etc.
Work overload risks: these include physical or intellectual overexertion, working hours, staff discomfort and working hours.
Psychosocial and social risks: these focus on each of your employees, as there are different risks depending on their lifestyle, age and gender; some of the main factors are the pace of work, the type of tasks to be performed and participation.

RISK PREVENTION MEASURES
- Some measures you can prioritize in your organization are:
Be aware of existing risks.
Designate delegates to prevent risks.
Consider the creation of a Health and Safety Committee.
Evaluate the consequences of risks
Train your staff in risk prevention
Certify your company according to ISO 45001 standard
CONSEQUENCES OF THE LACK OF MANAGEMENT SYSTEM WITH ISO 45001
- The consequences you suffer when an accident occurs can be serious, so you must take them into account and prevent them from happening.
In the graphic arts field, the main consequences of accidents are: machine strikes due to confined space; personnel fall due to lack of signage; personnel are due to uneven or slippery floors; falling objects due to stacked material and poor storage; and poor lighting in the workplace, which increases the number of accidents in your organization.
By having an ISO 45001 certified system in place, your organization will be prepared to prevent risks to your personnel and resolve them appropriately in case an accident occurs.
