Over the decades, research on chemical hazards has been carried out in connection with industrial and technological progress. In this regard, it is essential to understand the threats related to chemicals and to take effective measures to safeguard the health of workers. Therefore, the objective of the study is to evaluate the effects of exposure to chemical substances in a liquor industry, located in the city of Cuenca, Ecuador. The method used was the French model of the National Institute for Safety Research (INRS) to obtain the hierarchy of chemical risks based on hazard, chemical concentration and frequency of use. In addition, a chemical compatibility analysis was carried out using the Globally Harmonised System (GHS) and safety data sheets. Sodium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid were given high priority for preventive measures in the work environment.
