Need for a National Occupational Health Survey / Necesidad de una Encuesta Nacional de Salud en el Trabajo

  • Horacio Tovalín Ahumada FES Zaragoza

Resumen

Mexico has an incomplete information system on health and safety conditions in the workplace. This lack of complete and reliable information on conditions, occupational risks and health effects makes it necessary to develop the proposal for a National Survey of Occupational Health. This survey will allow, like other national surveys that are carried out, to make visible the magnitude of the different exposures to risks and working conditions that workers experience and their impacts on the health of the working population. At the same time, it provides the labor authorities with information that allows the development of preventive plans and programs and programs for the promotion of health at work at the different levels of government and at the level of the work centers.
Keywords: occupational, health, national survey
