    Area of Science:

    • Occupational Health
    • Bioethics
    • Preventive Medicine

    Background:

    • Workplace health strategies increasingly utilize biochemical markers to assess worker susceptibility.
    • Ethical considerations surrounding the use of such tests, particularly in preemployment screening, require careful examination.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the ethical dimensions of preventive workplace health strategies based on biochemical susceptibility indexes.
    • To evaluate the benefits and risks associated with occupational hypersusceptibility testing.
    • To advocate for the development of guidelines for the ethical implementation of these tests.

    Main Methods:

    • Ethical analysis of preventive health strategies.
    • Review of benefits and risks of occupational testing.

  • Proposal of elements for effective testing guidelines.

    • Main Results:

    • Hypersusceptibility testing can identify previously unrecognized workplace hazards.
    • Guidelines are desirable for the use of hypersusceptibility testing in preemployment screening.
    • Further research is needed to validate technologies and address legal and social implications.

    Conclusions:

    • The study underscores the value of biochemical susceptibility testing for identifying occupational hazards.
    • Development of clear guidelines is essential for the ethical and effective use of hypersusceptibility tests.
    • Comprehensive evaluation of legal, social, and psychological impacts is necessary before widespread adoption.
