Work is an activity that over the years has had many evolutions, both satisfactory and unsatisfactory, years ago the work was done by hand, then it was largely facilitated when the machines were created and the technology became known. Industry and manufacturing came to replace manual work, which resulted in increased productivity (quantities of products) and decreased time spent by workers.

Due to serial production, it simplified complex tasks into simple operations that could be performed by any worker without the need for a skilled workforce.

The application of science and technology at work, which was the invention of machinery, improved production processes in companies.

But it also had its side against workers which affected the health and safety of workers, in terms of diseases, accidents at work as well as the risk factors that we can get at work and are harmful to them.

Work-related illnesses are nothing more than psychosocial and emotional factors that workers manifest due to an organic injury, such as asthma, bronchitis, lung cancer, etc.

Work accidents are nothing more than any event that causes the worker a bodily injury, such as disability or even death depending on their work on the orders of their employer.

Risk factors are situations that increase the chances of a worker contracting a disease, these can be: physiological, biological, physical, electrical, etc.

They result in suffocation, irritation, poisoning, among others.

But for all this, institutions, laws, norms, policies, among other things, were created that allow workers to guarantee safe conditions in the work environment, prevention laws in occupational diseases and accidents, incentives, uses of the times.

As well as it has its cons, they have its benefits, they only have to be notified in the respective institutions.

Under the measures established by the law and its regulations to give effect to the complaint presented by the worker.

In order to be entities that guarantee the occupational safety of workers with the proper rules and procedures to which they must be submitted.
