Sin embargo, sabemos que si usted trabaja en un yacimiento petrol\u00edfero que utiliza el fracking como una de sus metodolog\u00edas de extracci\u00f3n, su trabajo podr\u00eda exponerle a riesgos para la salud a largo plazo.<\/p>\n<p>Como explica Concentra, una empresa nacional de asistencia sanitaria, su <a href=\"https:\/\/www.concentra.com\/resource-center\/articles\/what-is-silica-and-why-is-it-dangerous\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">mayor riesgo<\/a> se deriva de la exposici\u00f3n al s\u00edlice. Tanto el Instituto Nacional de Seguridad y Salud en el Trabajo como la Administraci\u00f3n de Seguridad y Salud en el Trabajo est\u00e1n preocupados por las sustancias peligrosas a las que usted y otros trabajadores de campos petrol\u00edferos est\u00e1n expuestos. La s\u00edlice es una de las primeras de su lista.<\/p>\n<h6>Peligros de la s\u00edlice<\/h6>\n<p>En su forma cristalina, la s\u00edlice recibe el nombre de cuarzo. Las rocas, la arena, la tierra y muchas otras sustancias contienen este mineral tan com\u00fan. El problema es que al cortar, picar, moler o taladrar el cuarzo, el s\u00edlice se descompone en finas fibras parecidas al polvo que luego se inhalan. La s\u00edlice es un carcin\u00f3geno conocido y, cuando se acumula en los pulmones, puede provocar silicosis y otras enfermedades pulmonares incurables.<\/p>\n<p>Casi dos millones de trabajadores est\u00e1n expuestos a s\u00edlice peligrosa en todo el pa\u00eds, pero los trabajadores de la fracturaci\u00f3n hidr\u00e1ulica como usted corren el mayor riesgo, especialmente si su trabajo implica una de las siguientes situaciones:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Perforaci\u00f3n de rocas<\/li>\n<li>Canter\u00eda<\/li>\n<li>Granallado abrasivo<\/li>\n<li>T\u00fanel<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h6>Peligros del benceno<\/h6>\n<p>Otro peligro al que se enfrenta en el trabajo es la exposici\u00f3n al benceno. Este compuesto qu\u00edmico org\u00e1nico incoloro y altamente inflamable suele acumularse en los fluidos superficiales que se encuentran en los emplazamientos de fracturaci\u00f3n hidr\u00e1ulica. El benceno tambi\u00e9n es cancer\u00edgeno, y la exposici\u00f3n a largo plazo puede da\u00f1ar la sangre y la m\u00e9dula \u00f3sea.<\/p>\n<p>Los peligros del fracking var\u00edan de un lugar a otro, pero la OSHA exige a todos los empresarios que apliquen medidas, procedimientos y precauciones de seguridad. Su mejor estrategia es conocerlos en su lugar de trabajo y seguirlos de cerca para mantenerse lo m\u00e1s sano posible.<\/p>\n<p>Para m\u00e1s informaci\u00f3n, visite <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mblaw.org\/es\/abogado-de-accidentes-petroleros-en-san-antonio\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">esta p\u00e1gina<\/a> de nuestro sitio web.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At the Law Offices of Miller &amp; Bicklein, PC, in Texas, we are proud of the fact that the U.S. once again is the world\u2019s top oil and gas producer.
