Risk Assessment and Exposure Evaluation Guide
Risk Assessment and Exposure Evaluation Guide
11.1 NUMBER OF WORKERS Determine the average number of employees exposed to the identified risk factor.
11.3 TIEMPO DE EXPOSICIÓN % Determine the exposure time based on the percentage of the working time in a week during which you are exposed to the risk factor.
12. RISK ASSESSMENT Estimate the value of risk according to the following criteria:
12.1 PROBABILITY It represents the possibility of an undesired event occurring and producing consequences. It is assessed based on the following criteria:
The probability that the event occurs and produces the consequence is remote.
1 Very Low
The event has never been presented or was presented more than 10 years ago.
The probability of the event occurring and producing the consequence is low.
2 Low The event was presented more than 5 years ago and less than 10 years ago.
The probability that the event occurs and can produce the consequence is medium.
3 Media The event has been presented for more than a year and less than 5 years.
The probability that the event occurs and can produce the consequence is high.
4 High
The event has been presented one or more times in the last year.

12.2 CONSEQUENCES
qualify taking into account the following criteria:
The physical, mental, or social integrity of the person is temporarily affected, without the need for
1 Light
reparative intervention.
The physical, mental, or social integrity of the person is temporarily affected. Intervention is required.
2 Moderate
repairing, but there are no lasting effects or permanent consequences
The physical, mental, or social integrity of the person is permanently affected. It is required
3 Critical
corrective intervention, and there are permanent sequelae or consequences
12.3 Total exposed It is obtained by adding the number of workers and the number of contractors defined in the exposed personnel columns.
It results from dividing the number of exposed to risk by the total population considered, according to what is established in the header of
12.4% Exposed
Panorama.
Represents the percentage of workers who are exposed to the assessed risk source during their workday. 100%
12.5 Exposed valuation represents the number of workers in the area, position, process, or activity analyzed, who routinely remain in the facility or
They carry out the work. This value is assigned to categorize the percentage of those exposed according to the following table:
1 Very low Few workers are exposed to the risk condition (less than 25%)
2 Under Some of the workers are exposed to the risk condition (more than 25% but less than 50%)
3 Medium Many of the workers are exposed to the risk condition (more than 50%, less than 75%)
It is assigned taking into account the percentage of exposure previously established in 'exposed personnel'. The corresponding value is assigned.
12.6 Valuation of exposure time
according to the following table:
1 Very low Remote: The exposure time is less than 25% of the workday.
2 Bass Occasional: Exposure time greater than or equal to 25% and less than 50% of the workday.
3 Medium Frequent: Exposure time greater than or equal to 50% and less than 75% of the workday
4 High Continuous: Exposure time greater than or equal to 75% of the workday
It is obtained by combining the Exposed Valuation and the Exposure Time Valuation as follows:
12.7 EXPOSITION EXPOSICIÓN = (Valoración expuestos × Valoración tiempo de exposición)/4.
The result of this operation is rounded up to the nearest higher integer.
12.9 ACCEPTABILITY It must be determined whether the risk factors are High or Unacceptable, Medium or Moderate, or Low or Acceptable according to the following criteria:
HIGH or UNACCEPTABLE (NA) All risk factors with a rating greater than 45.
MEDIUM or MODERATE (M) All risk factors whose assessment is greater than or equal to 16 but less than 45.
LOW or ACCEPTABLE (A) All risk factors with a rating of less than 16.
The person responsible for workplace safety and health establishes the action plan to minimize or control the risk factor; it must be
13. CONTROLS consider the risk reduction according to the following hierarchy: Elimination y Substitution, Engineering control,
Signage/warnings or administrative controls or both and Personal protective equipment.
Include design modifications to eliminate hazards, or replace them with less hazardous materials, or reduce the energy of the system, examples;
13.1 REMOVAL / REPLACEMENT/ introduce mechanical devices to eliminate the risk of manual handling of loads, reduce force, amperage, pressure,
ENGINEERING CONTROL temperature, installation of engineering systems such as ventilation systems, protection for machines, interlocks, enclosures
acoustics among others.
