Occupational risks of occupational injury or illness from the point of view of occupational safety and health are present in all areas of activity. It is true that the magnitude of the risk is directly influenced by the degree of danger of the processes that take place in that field of activity and the probability with which they occur. Over time it has developed several forms of occupational risk analysis as a dimension. In this way, events leading to accidents or occupational diseases or to the environment can be better understood. In order to be able to measure the extent of the occupational risk of occupational injury or illness, assessment methods are used that quantify the occupational risk. The main purpose of the research study is to analyze the risks of accidents and occupational diseases taking into account the four elements of the work system: performer, means of production, production environment and workload. Following the assessment of the risks of occupational injury or improvement, managers receive information on the presence of occupational risks present in the organization, as well as the evolution of these risks when there are changes in production processes. These changes are due to changes in materials, manufacturing processes, legislative changes, upgrades, technological or environmental accidents, conversions or upgrades of production lines. The importance of the research study is represented by the identification and assessment of the risks of occupational injury and illness from the point of view of occupational safety that enter into the economic equation. Thus, we appreciate that the economic interest must not take precedence over considerations related to safety at work.
