Occupational Risk Factors in Forensic Medicine The aim of this paper was to describe the most important of the occupational risk factors involved and their impact on the health of employees working in the large field of forensic medical practice. The paper approaches several of the most common professional risks, such as: biomechanical risk factors primarily affecting the vertebral and upper limbs, exposure to noise and vibrations, some electromagnetic radiations, various chemical and biological agents, neurosenzorial overexertion. We have emphasized the irritant and sensitization effects (dermal and respiratory adverse effects) of such exposure as well as the carcinogenic changes caused by chemical substances (eg. formaldehyde). The authors proposed mainly preventive measures for improving the control of exposure(related to the work environment).
