Abstract

Abstract: The prevention of occupational risks in workers is essential to ensure safety, health and well-being in the work environment. The present work consisted of identifying the risks of the jobs, evaluating their severity and probability of occurrence through a risk assessment matrix to assign a qualitative assessment using the methodology of the National Institute of Safety and Health at Work (INSST) and based on the results of the risk assessment a prevention plan is developed that establishes the necessary measures to control the identified risks; this involves determining the specific actions to be taken, those responsible, the deadlines and the resources required. In accordance with the established time frame, it was not possible to implement the preventive measures and to follow up and control them; rather, it was only possible to propose preventive measures to the company's manager in order to provide adequate information and training so that workers can contribute to a safe work environment. It was determined that in the shrimp company VALDIMAR S.A. there are 153 risks in which 58% are Trivial (T), 5% Tolerable (M), 31% Moderate (Mo), and 5% Intolerable (IN)
