Abstract Analysis of the main hazards in sewage works during operational and monitoring procedures: accident hazards related to plant design and equipment (falls, mechanical and electrical hazards, emanations of gas); risk of infection due to contact with sewage effluent and chemical hazards related to gaseous emissions (including chlorine), changes in pH or coagulants. Prevention and protection measures are indicated for each hazard, and worker information and safety training requirements are reviewed.
