P
sychosocial toxicology is incorporatedas anewconcept in the
occupational context and safety and health at work, because
social interaction in these work environments determine in
these dynamics pollutants (precursors) that cause harm to
workers, triggering intoxications derived from the adrenergic
reaction when subjected to stressful situations (disruptors),
which acts in the chemical development of the body and leads
to intoxication, which, over time, has the capacity to alter the
nervous system, tissues and organs (potential harmful) with
physiological outcomes of incapacitating alterations that over
time generate occupational disease and can lead to death
(lethal dose). This new concept provides a baseline contribution
to the public health of the knowledge of psychosocial toxic
situations that allow the design of measurement strategies
for the promotion, prevention and intervention of risk factors
associated with this type of exposure, in order to reduce the
occurrence of disorders derived from work stress caused by
situations of high social and relational toxicity in work teams.
In addition, results of the research conducted in Colombian
companies of productive sectors of services and construction as
evidence and technical support of this concept are presented.
