“…In terms of confirming the weighting coefficients for the integrated assessment system, a modified AHP-fuzzy comprehensive evaluation methodology, which is means of empowerment along with subjective and objective combination, was adopted in the current study by referring to previous related studies [36][37][38][39]. The results were relatively congruent with theoretical and practical conditions.…”

The study designs a comprehensive evaluation system for the prevention and control of occupational hazards, calculates its weight coefficient, and provides a potential strategic and effective tool for the scientific evaluation of occupational hazards in the iron and steel enterprises. The system was established through induction and analysis of relevant literature, personal interview, theoretical analysis, Delphi expert consultation, and special group discussions. Using an improved analytical hierarchy process fuzzy comprehensive evaluation model and on the basis of the improved Delphi expert investigation, the weight of the operability comprehensive evaluation index system is constructed. A three-level index system is established on the basis of harmful factors of occupational activities, health status of employees, protection facilities of occupational hazards, occupational health management, and so on. The index system structure is 4-20-95, and the weight coefficients of the four dimensions are 0.2516, 0.2428, 0.2550, and 0.2506. The recovery rate of the questionnaire was 82.5%, 100.0%, and 100.0%. The effective rates were 75.0%, 100.0%, and 100.0%. Conversely, the expert authority coefficients of the four dimensions are 0.875, 0.769, 0.832 and 0.800. Results show that the consistency factors of the four dimensions are statistically significant. Cronbach’s α coefficient, standardized Cronbach’s α coefficient, and split-half reliability of the comprehensive evaluation index system are 0.959, 0.950, and 0.810, respectively. After factor analysis, four common factors were extracted on the basis of expert opinions, and the cumulative variance was 63.1%. The comprehensive evaluation system for the prevention and control of occupational hazards in the iron and steel enterprises proposed by the study is relatively complete and reasonable.

“…Nos dias atuais, um grande número de produtos químicos é usado por diferentes indústrias ao redor do mundo (CHANG et al, 2013). Com o aumento gradativo da tecnologia, do desenvolvimento industrial e da necessidade de consumo humana, não se pode imaginar a vida sem o uso de químicos.…”

“…Para a identificação dos perigos, primeiro se fazia necessário o desenvolvimento de critérios para classificação de produtos e, em seguida, de uma legislação que inserisse o sistema de classificação de perigo dos produtos químicos, assim sendo cada país desenvolveu e colocou em prática a sua própria legislação (CHANG et al, 2013).…”

“…Ou, poderia ser considerado cancerígeno em um país, mas não em outro (UNITED NATIONS, 2015). Isso se transformou em um grande problema se tratando, principalmente de importação e exportação de produtos entre países; enquanto o mercado global se intensificava, os sistemas de classificação se tornavam inconsistentes entre si (CHANG et al, 2013).…”

“…O reconhecimento desse problema levou à um desejo gradativo de uma harmonização mundial de classificação de perigo pelas autoridades responsáveis por controlar as leis de produtos químicos (MORITA;MORIKAWA, 2011). Integrar dados e unificar sistemas de classificação e rotulagem de produtos químicos pareceu ser um importante objetivo para comunidades e associações internacionais, já que isso poderia tanto eliminar substancialmente os perigos ao meio ambiente e à saúde quanto reduzir efetivamente os erros cometidos pelos mercados globais (CHANG et al, 2013).…”

With the technology gradual increase and the need of human consumption every day new products and new substances are developed. In addition to the benefits of this modernization, there are concerns about the excessive use of chemicals. Many chemicals have potential to cause adverse effects on human health and the environment and, therefore, a few years ago the risk communication of these products in a workplace became essential and mandatory. The GHS, a globally harmonized system of classification and labeling of chemicals was created by the UN to bring harmonized criteria and elements to communicate these dangers. The GHS hazard identification is a complex and difficult procedure for the industries, especially those ones that are small, as sanitizer sector for example, which is mostly composed of micro and small companies. In addition to have the GHS obligation the sanitizer manufacturers follow the Anvisa regulation as well. Combining the Anvisa requirements with GHS ones, it is clear that some GHS hazard classes and categories do not apply for cleaning products. Thus, the purpose of this study was to develop a GHS classification guide intended specifically for sanitizer industry. To build the guide flowcharts were developed with logical decisions with GHS and Anvisa requirements. This study reached its goal as a whole, creating a guide model for GHS implementation in sanitizer industries. After the guide application in a product sample and the discussions, it was noted that some details could be better incorporated into the script of the guide. Although the guide has some limitations and imperfections, it can contribute in some way to the industry. Instead of a professional consulting GHS as a whole, a simplified, summarized and with the sanitizer particularities guide may give to the industries an easier way to apply the GHS contributing to the correct classifications.
