A tour of each of the facilities of the unit was made, using tools such as photographs and written notes in order to have a more complete and accurate analysis. Through the Colombian technical guide GTC-45 it was possible to demonstrate the risk factors present, which were physical, biological, chemical, psychosocial, biomechanical and safety conditions. After having analyzed the data, we proceeded to create the manual containing all the necessary information, as well as the risk factors and their preventive measures to counteract them. Finally, an action plan was made for the most critical risk factors found in the dependency's facilities, in order to analyze them and provide a future solution. It is also intended that with this manual the workers become aware of the dangers to which they are exposed, which can cause accidents or occupational diseases, which in their vast majority can be prevented, following the recommendations made.
