The existence of hazards is evident in the different work posts within the areas, which were analyzed and evaluated using the INSHT, REBA (Rapid Entire Body Assessment), MESERI, ISTAS 21, NTP 324, NTP 481 and NTP 536 methodologies, in order to determine the level of risk qualitatively and quantitatively. The information was collected through literature review, technical visits, open interviews and surveys. A total of 229 risks were analyzed and assessed using the matrix of the Instituto Nacional de Seguridad y Salud en el Trabajo (INSST-INSHT), obtaining the following results: trivial risks 77 corresponding to 32%, tolerable risks 55 corresponding to 23%, moderate risks 50 corresponding to 21%, important risks 29 corresponding to 16% and intolerable risks 18 corresponding to 8%. By evaluating the risks, it is necessary to draw up an occupational risk prevention and occupational health plan to mitigate and eliminate the risks present by means of appropriate signage in accordance with current regulations such as fire-fighting equipment; classifying the types of waste that can be generated; risk maps; provision of personal protection equipment for workers; occupational medical examinations and, as well as health and safety training for workers. By drawing up an occupational risk prevention plan, the deficiencies detected in the different areas will be corrected in order to minimize the risk of accidents.
