Abstract

The risk analysis of machinery and equipment, under the NOM-004-STPS-1999 standard,  (Gobernación, 1999) is crucial for establishing safe conditions in the workplace. This Mexican standard sets the minimum safety requirements for preventing accidents and illnesses resulting from the use of machinery and equipment in workplaces. Its main objective is to reduce the following cases: Work accidents (IMSS, 2024).  Decreasing the incidence of accidents related to the operation of machinery and equipment, such as entanglements, cuts, burns, falls, among others. Occupational diseases: Preventing work-related illnesses that may arise from the use of machinery and equipment, such as musculoskeletal injuries due to repetitive strain or exposure to chemical agents.The objective of this project was to identify, assess, and manage the risks associated with the corn flour production process and the packaging area, in order to ensure a safe work environment and protect workers' health and safety. This was achieved by verifying that working conditions related to the operation of machinery and equipment are safe and free of risks that could cause accidents or occupational diseases.
