MITIGATING RISKS: AN IN-DEPTH ANALYSIS OF PHARMACEUTICAL HAZARDS
Hazard is a term associated with a substance that is likely to cause an injury in a given environment or situation. Pharmaceutical hazards are major occupational health and safety (OHS) issue in Pharmaceutical manufacturing. In recent years chemical safety and the sound management of chemicals have seen great progress at the global level. At the same time, the rapid growth in production and dissemination of both natural and synthetic chemicals has led to concern about their impact on the natural environment, and human health. In this way, the pharmaceutical industry has come to occupy a unique position. Pharmaceutical hazards refer to the potential risks and adverse effects associated with the use of medications, ranging from minor side effects to severe and potentially life-threatening outcomes. This field encompasses various aspects including adverse drug reactions (ADRs), drug interactions, medication errors, and issues related to drug manufacturing and regulation. ADRs can manifest as allergic reactions, toxicities, or idiosyncratic responses, necessitating vigilant monitoring and effective management strategies. Drug interactions, whether pharmacokinetic or pharmacodynamic, can significantly alter drug efficacy and safety, requiring careful consideration during prescribing. Medication errors, such as misprescribing or incorrect dosing, pose serious risks and demand systematic prevention measures. Manufacturing issues, including contamination and quality control failures, highlight the importance of stringent regulatory standards to ensure drug safety. Additionally, pharmacovigilance systems play a crucial role in identifying and mitigating risks postmarketing.Industrial safety is needed to check all the possible chances of accidents for preventing loss of life and permanent disability of any industrial worker, any damage to machine and material leads to the loss of the whole establishment
