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.
