ABSTRACT

Introduction: Responsible management of hazardous chemical products has direct relation with the knowledge, comprehension and perception of the risk that the individuals involved have.
Objective: To evaluate the safety level in the management of hazardous chemical products in Mantilla community, Havana, Cuba and compare it with the assessment performed in Pogolotti-Finlay-Belén community of the same province, from 2013 to 2015.
Methods: Exploratory-descriptive research conducted in Mantilla community, Arroyo Naranjo municipality, Havana, Cuba in 2016, over a population of 1338 systematic practitioners in the handling of hazardous chemical products. The sample was of 200 people; and it was non-probabilistically and intentionally selected. An exhaustive checklist was prepared for applying the safety level assessment method with specific objectives and contents for the community. The safety aspects were assessed, the risk profile was determined by using ASeC software, and a sensitivity analysis for Mantilla community was performed. A comparison of the sensitivity analysis results was also carried out for both Mantilla and Pogolotti-Finlay-Belén communities using the Venn diagram.
Results: The results by safety aspects of Mantilla community were assessed with negative values. When compared them with the results obtained on a previous research in the Pogolotti-Finlay-Belén community, some irrelevant differences where obtained.
Conclusions: The hazard focus identification in Mantilla community became critical. Both communities didn’t show functional capability for facing an emergency, and they didn’t know what actions and consequences could have an accident related to hazardous chemical products in the population and the environment.
