Workers in this sector are exposed to a series of risks inherent to water supply activities. Among the physical risks are non-ionizing radiation, noise, humidity and vibrations. Chemical risks include products used in water treatment processes (coagulation, flocculation and disinfection), sludge treatment, laboratory analysis and maintenance, with contact with oils, greases and solvents. Regarding ergonomic risks, physical effort in the use of heavy equipment and repetitive effort are highlighted. Exposure to the risks of accidents is related to the inappropriate use of machines, equipment and tools, as well as the lack of protection against them; inadequate lighting of the place; the possibility of fire and explosion; falls in unprotected places; the presence of venomous animals; the absence of signs; and electric shocks during machine maintenance.
