Trabajo en alturas y las condiciones médicas relevantes para el desarrollo del mismo

Abstract

Work at heights is considered high risk, so it is of great importance that the occupational medical examination is done by filtering out those medical conditions that could affect the ability to perform the work or those pathologies that may increase the risk of occupational accidents. The legislation for this type of work is abundant and its performance is structured, but they are not specific when defining aptitude criteria for heights, so there are gaps that occupational doctors must fill with their knowledge. In the following, collecting information from different databases, we will define which criteria are the most important for certifying work at heights.
