Vinnutengdir sjúkdómar vegna líffræðilegra efna
Líffræðileg efni eru þekkt fyrir að valda heilsufarsvandamálum. Samkvæmt Evrópukönnuninni um vinnuaðstæður 2015, þá verður aukið hlutfall evrópskra starfsmanna (13%, sem er 1,5 sinnum fleiri en 10 árum fyrr) útsettir fyrir smitberum í vinnu. Líffræðileg efni ná yfir veirur, bakteríur, sveppi og sníkjudýr, og þau geta valdið heilsufarsvandamálum annaðhvort beint eða í gegnum útsetningu fyrir tengdum ofnæmisvöldum eða eiturefnum.
Vinnutengd útsetning fyrir frá líffræðilegum efnum getur tengst ýmsum heilsufarsvandamálum, þar með talið smitsjúkdómum, krabbameini og ofnæmi. Sum líffræðileg efni geta einnig skaðað ófædd börn.
Starfsfólk í vissum atvinnugreinum, svo sem í heilbrigðisþjónustu og dýralækningum, landbúnaði, fráveitustjórnun og rannsóknarstofum, eru í sérstakri hættu. Þetta starfsfólk kann að vinna með örverur með beinum hætti eða verið útsett fyrir þeim í gegnum snertingu, t.d., við líkamsvessa eða jarðveg. Ef uppspretta útsetningar fyrir líffræðileg efni er þekkt, þá er tiltölulega auðvelt að koma í veg fyrir neikvæð áhrif á heilsu. Áhættustjórnum á óþekktum uppsprettum útsetningar er mun erfiðari viðfangs.

Biological agents have a ubiquitous presence in the environment and are found in many sectors. As they are rarely visible, the risks they pose are not always appreciated, but exposure may lead to include acute and chronic, sometimes life-threatening, diseases with serious socio-economical consequences. Health effects include infections, zoonotic diseases, symptoms of the upper and lower respiratory tract, occupational asthma, sensitisation, allergic reactions, systemic (multi-organ) effects, poisoning and cancers.

The GESTIS Biological Agents Database – compact information for occupational safety and health protection

Anyone using biological agents has to be aware of their hazard potential. The GESTIS Biological Agents Database contains a wealth of information ranging from the classification in risk groups through to occupational safety and health measures.
Biological agents such as microorganisms are omnipresent and in many cases useful as well. Without them we would not survive – for some of them form a protective film on our skin, while others are responsible for the working of our digestive system. So it is not surprising that microorganisms also occur and are put to use in the working environment, such as in the food and beverages industry (lactic acid bacteria, baking and brewing yeast). Other branches of industry also resort to microorganisms: bacteria, fungi and the like form the basic substances of biotechnology; the pharmaceutical industry uses them for the production of antibiotics; and biotechnologically produced enzymes are firmly established in the detergent and cleaning agent industry.  A large number of biological agents are also intentionally used or arise incidentally in science and research as well as in biotechnology and keeping of experimental animals. In the health service, veterinary medicine, agriculture and forestry, in cleaning and refurbishment activities, waste water and solid waste management, and in abattoirs, they can also be encountered – and risks may arise as well. For biological agents also include numerous bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites that are capable of causing infectious diseases and other health problems in humans. The biological agents arising at the workplace therefore have to be included in the risk assessment. The risk assessment is the central element of occupational safety and health and the basis for systematic and effective safety and health protection in the everyday working environment.
