Los trabajadores de otros tipos de industrias tambi\u00e9n pueden enfrentarse a algunos riesgos derivados de las obras de construcci\u00f3n o renovaci\u00f3n cuando \u00e9stas tienen lugar mientras la empresa sigue abierta. Los contaminantes ambientales y la exposici\u00f3n t\u00f3xica pueden ser preocupaciones particularmente significativas, especialmente si se est\u00e1n utilizando productos qu\u00edmicos peligrosos en espacios confinados con poca oportunidad de disiparse. Adem\u00e1s, algunos de los polvos producidos durante las obras pueden suponer un peligro para los pulmones. Por ello, el Instituto Nacional de Seguridad y Salud en el Trabajo ha publicado una serie de directrices para proteger tanto a los trabajadores de la construcci\u00f3n como a otros empleados durante los trabajos de construcci\u00f3n y renovaci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n<p>Se han identificado varios riesgos para la salud en los lugares de trabajo sometidos a reformas. Los trabajadores de la construcci\u00f3n suelen ser el grupo de mayor riesgo, ya que est\u00e1n m\u00e1s expuestos a los contaminantes durante un periodo de tiempo m\u00e1s largo. Sin embargo, otros trabajadores tambi\u00e9n pueden presentar s\u00edntomas cuando se utilizan materiales de construcci\u00f3n con altas emisiones y no se aplican controles del polvo. Los trabajadores afectados pueden empezar a experimentar signos de una <a href=\"https:\/\/safety.blr.com\/workplace-safety-news\/hazardous-substances-and-materials\/air-contaminants\/niosh-releases-construction-ieq-recommendations\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">enfermedad profesional<\/a> como n\u00e1useas, dolor de cabeza, mareos o fatiga. Las personas pueden sufrir irritaciones oculares o de garganta, o desarrollar asma en condiciones de presencia de moho.<\/p>\n<p>La OSHA tiene algunas directrices y reglamentos de seguridad en el lugar de trabajo para la exposici\u00f3n a determinados tipos de sustancias y productos qu\u00edmicos. Por ejemplo, cualquier proyecto de renovaci\u00f3n que se lleve a cabo en un lugar donde haya amianto debe realizarse siguiendo estrictas directrices de seguridad para evitar la exposici\u00f3n al amianto, que puede provocar una forma rara de c\u00e1ncer llamada mesotelioma y otras enfermedades profesionales.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mblaw.org\/es\/san-antonio-abogado-de-compensacion-de-trabajadores\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">Exposici\u00f3n t\u00f3xica<\/a> u otras circunstancias peligrosas pueden provocar enfermedades desconocidas, gastos m\u00e9dicos y tiempo fuera del trabajo, tanto para los trabajadores de la construcci\u00f3n como para los de edificios en renovaci\u00f3n. Los trabajadores lesionados por la construcci\u00f3n en el trabajo pueden consultar a un abogado especializado en indemnizaci\u00f3n por accidente laboral sobre c\u00f3mo recibir las prestaciones que necesitan.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When construction workers are on the job in Texas, they may face many significant hazards.
