On the other hand, risk is the probability that a danger will materialize in certain conditions, that is, that an event or a dangerous situation may occur. The first step to intervene in possible dangers is to identify and define them clearly, so that prevention actions are well oriented and have a significant impact.

By intervening in the danger, it is possible to eliminate or reduce the risk to advance in the care of workers. To mitigate the risk, there are elements such as equipment, devices or devices specially designed and manufactured to preserve the human body, in all or in part, of specific risks of work accidents or professional diseases.

The working conditions that can cause an accident are those generated by an element present in the work environment, such as equipment and tools in poor condition, lack of order and cleaning, deficient lighting, deficient signaling, etc.
