ABSTRACT

Introduction: The biological risk is the possibility that a worker suffers harm like consequence of the exposure or contact with biologi-cal agents during the realization of his labor activity. Each person has an individual susceptibility, that explains that some people make ill when they go in in contact with determinate biological agent, whereas others no. Objective: The aim of this work is to evaluate the biological risk of the sanitary personnel in a Laboratory of Pathological Anatomy of a hospital of the province of Valencia (Spain). Material and method: The work is an observational studio, transversal, evaluative research, using variable and qualitative technicians of collection of the information. The method used is the known as BIOGAVAL-NEO, in his last edition of 2018. It has spent to the practice by means of interviews to 13 workers Technical in Pathological Anatomy of the Laboratory of a Hospital of the province of Valencia (Spain).Specifically, it has studied the risk to contract carbuncle by theBacillus anthracis. Result: The biological risk in the laboratory for the Bacillus anthracisagent is of three. It’s results minor compared with the value of the Level of Biological Action that it is eight. They find established the measures, hygienic and of correction of the harm and of the transmission; by what there are not additional requests. Conclusion: The main conclu-sion obtained after the work is that if they adopt all the preventive sanitary measures the biological risk is small.
