Resumen
El Plan de vigilancia de la salud de los trabajadores expuestos a hidrocarburos aromáticos reviste importancia ya que establece los objetivos, procedimientos y actividades que el Médico Ocupacional debe llevar a cabo como parte de su accionar en medicina preventiva, para lograr el diagnostico precoz de los cambios que pueden presentarse en la salud de los trabajadores expuestos a vapores de Benceno, Tolueno y Xileno, de manera que podamos garantizar las mejores condiciones de trabajo seguro, lo cual se reflejaría en forma directa en la disminución de los índices de ausentismo y mejoramiento de la productividad. Es importante el contar con una unidad de Seguridad, Salud en el Trabajo para dar cumplimiento de la norma legal, con el responsable técnico en cuarto nivel académico y un médico ocupacional, este último será el responsable de realizar las evaluaciones médicas necesarias para el diagnóstico oportuno de los desequilibrios en la salud que se pudieran presentar en los trabajadores expuestos a vapores de hidrocarburos aromáticos, para tomar las acciones necesarias en conjunto con los responsables técnicos de seguridad industrial y de esta manera precautelar la salud de los trabajadores, mediante programas de fomento a la salud, logrando crear conciencia de una cultura preventiva.
The health surveillance Plan of exposed workers to aromatic hydrocarbons has a big importance because it sets the goals, procedure and activities that every Occupational Doctor has to perform as part of their assignment in preventive medicine, in order to achieve the early diagnosis of the changes that can turn up in the workers’ health that are exposed to the vapors of Benzene, Toluene and Xylene, so that we can ensure the best working conditions, which would be reflected directly in reducing absenteeism rates and improving productivity. It is essential to have a Safety and Health Work Unit to comply with legal regulations, counting with the fourth level technical manager and Occupational doctor, this last one will be in charge to perform the required medical evaluations for the early diagnosis of health damages that may come with the exposure to aromatic hydrocarbons, to make the needed actions together with technical managers of industrial security, thereby safeguard the health of workers through programs of health promotion, achieving a culture of prevention.
