For mechanical risks, 47.92% were critical, for ergonomic risks, 35.42% as non-tolerable and finally 16.67% of biological risks as a critical condition. With the results obtained, the management for risks is established with the socialization of procedures, for each one of posts with signs of help, danger and prohibition, according to the assessment.
