| Abstract |
Review article on conditions of work and occupational safety and health in the field of photography. Today, the chemical hazards are under control as a result of automation of the various phases of the process and of the use of ready-to-use pre-mixed formulations. Automatic developing units and "minilabs" limit the exposure of workers to dangerous substances and have greatly reduced occupational diseases. However, there are still some risks involved in the preparation and filling of baths, as well as in maintenance operations. Occupational safety and health prevention measures need to take into account the conditions of work in industrial labs or photo-shops that mostly belong to chain stores, and to concentrate on compliance with procedures and training of personnel. Digital photography presents risks related to postural and constraints from working at screens. The main data are summarized on an occupational data sheet: (as insert): characteristics of the occupation; description of activities: risks and stresses of the job; occupational diseases and accidents; prevention of hazards; regulations. |
