This module deals with endocrine disruptors. Endocrine disruptors are chemical substances capable of disrupting hormonal functioning, which can cause harmful effects in exposed individuals and their offspring. Although the effects on human health remain uncertain, it is crucial to adopt a preventative approach to eliminate or minimize the exposure of workers, particularly pregnant women or women of childbearing age, to these substances.

This module presents the importance of taking into account multiple exposures in the assessment of occupational risks. In most work situations, employees can be exposed to several nuisances simultaneously. The single-nuisance approach is often insufficient to assess these risks. Taking multiple exposures into account allows for a more realistic assessment of risks and facilitates the implementation of effective prevention actions. This module offers keys to better understand and prevent poly-exposure.

This module deals with chemical agents which, in the medium or long term, exhibit carcinogenic, mutagenic or reproductive toxic effects, known as CMR agents. It is essential to identify them by taking inventory of the products used and the work situations that could lead to exposure. When a CMR agent is detected in the workplace, it is imperative to remove or replace it as soon as technically possible.

This module presents the risks associated with regularly driving vehicles or construction, transport or handling equipment, exposing employees to high levels of vibration. These vibrations, transmitted throughout the body, can cause pain, particularly in the back. To prevent these risks, regulations establish threshold values requiring the implementation of preventive actions.

This module addresses the risks associated with vibrations emitted by certain portable or manual machines, which may cause disabling disorders to the hands and arms. In France, around 2 million workers, mainly in the construction, mechanical engineering, metallurgy, automobile repair and green space maintenance sectors, are affected by these conditions. However, exposure to these vibrations is not inevitable. Many preventive measures can effectively reduce these risks.
