Resumen
[ES] En el trabajo se ha querido analizar la exposición a agentes biológicos que están expuestos los trabajadores que trabajan en centros de personas mayores, para realizar la evaluación de estos agentes en los centros de personas mayores he utilizado el método de evaluación simplificada, aplicando este método en las situaciones en las que pueda existir riesgos por agentes biológicos, para ello se ha visitado dos centros residenciales para así poder observar si en ellos se cumplen las medidas preventivas, que tipo de exposición a agentes biológicos sufren los trabajadores a causa de sus actividades laborales y así como el nivel de formación de los trabajadores tanto de materia preventiva como en riesgos biológicos a los que están expuestos. Una vez realizado el método de evaluación simplificada, se puede observar que en los centros residenciales de personas mayores el tipo de exposición es media según los niveles de exposición y según los grupos de exposición clasificados dentro del Real Decreto 664/1997 (grupos 1,2 y 3) el riesgo de infección se clasifica 3, y por ello se proponen diferentes medidas de protección de los trabajadores frente los riesgos biológicos. Se ha analizado también la situación actual con el Covid 19, por lo que se ha realizado un pequeño estudio de este virus que ha causado tantos efectos y que supone un riesgo biológico más al que se exponen los trabajadores de los centros de personas mayores.

Once the simplified evaluation method has been carried out, it can be observed that in residential centers for the elderly, the type of exposure is average according to the levels of exposure and according to the exposure groups classified within Royal Decree 664/1997 (groups 1,2 and 3) the risk of infection is classified 3, and therefore different measures are proposed to protect workers against biological risks. The current situation with Covid 19 has also been analyzed, which is why a small study of this virus has been carried out, which has caused so many effects and represents an additional biological risk to which workers in centers for the elderly are exposed.
