Abstract
The international labor organization (ILO) registers that there are more than 160 million workers who suffer from Occupational Diseases (OS) each year and of these, around 2.78 million die from these causes; this organization also indicates that every day 20 people in the world die from occupational accidents, which is why work constitutes a risk to people's health and that is why occupational medicine and safety at work arise to prevent diseases related to the activity, the environment and the conditions in which the work is carried out and these lead to serious repercussions on the physical, emotional and mental health of the workers. Occupational diseases are caused by various causes and these etiologies are classified depending on the elements that can cause them, such as chemical, biological or physical factors; All these factors can cause from slight injuries such as dermatitis, allergies, chronic diseases, radiation exposure to malignant tumors.
