Occupational diseases refer to health problems that develop as a result of various risk factors that employees are exposed to in the workplace. These diseases arise due to factors inherent in the nature of the person's occupational activities. Although occupational diseases usually develop as a result of long-term occupational exposures, sometimes short-term intense exposures can also cause such diseases.
Occupational diseases can affect people working in different sectors and there are many different types. Here are some examples of occupational diseases:
Workers in noisy work environments are at risk of hearing loss. Workers exposed to high decibel levels for long periods of time, especially in construction, factory and industrial areas, can suffer from hearing loss. Hearing loss can reduce the quality of work life and negatively affect a person's social life.
People who work with asbestos-containing materials are at risk of asbestosis. Asbestosis is a condition that can cause serious damage to the lungs. Exposure to this disease can lead to respiratory disorders and fatal consequences.
People who work with lead-containing materials can suffer from lead poisoning as a result of lead exposure. Lead poisoning can have serious effects on the nervous system and cause long-term health problems.
Construction workers who lift heavy loads are at risk of developing a herniated disc or other spinal problems. Long-term heavy lifting can damage the spine and negatively affect a person's work life.
People exposed to certain chemicals or irritants can develop workplace asthma. Asthma causes respiratory discomfort and can have a negative impact on work productivity.
Workers who come into contact with chemicals or are exposed to skin irritation can develop dermatitis (skin inflammation). Dermatitis leads to skin problems and can prevent a person from working comfortably at work.
Early diagnosis of occupational diseases is of great importance. Measures taken during the early detection period can safeguard workers' health and prevent further damage. HSE.AI plays an important role in this regard.
HSE.AI is a software platform used to monitor and analyze the risks that employees are exposed to in the workplace. This platform identifies the risks that employees are exposed to during the day and presents the frequency and recurrence of these risks through statistical analysis.
HSE.AI provides us with statistical data and enables us to identify conditions with a high risk of occupational disease. It also provides insights on improvements to be made. In this way, the risk of occupational disease is detected early with a proactive approach in workplaces and necessary measures are taken.
HSE.AI solutions are of great importance for monitoring and early detection of occupational diseases in the workplace. Relying on such technologies to protect the health of employees and reduce risks in the workplace can contribute to creating healthier and safer working conditions in the future.
