RAMADAN PRECEPTS AND COMPLIANCE WITH LABOR RISK PREVENTION. HEALTH CONSEQUENCES AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Abstract

The precepts followed by Muslim people during the Ramadan season, mainly fasting and abstinence from liquids, as well as changing time habits, can increase occupational risk situations. There is a social perception that can lead to mystify the seriousness of these situations and, therefore, lead to situations of discrimination. This work aims to contribute modestly to the demystification of this incidence in risk prevention, examining the scientific literature and studies on occupational accidents. Additionally, a series of recommendations are made to enable the compatibility of religious practice and safe working during the month of Ramadan regarding occupational health and safety of workers.
