Found mainly in companies in the manufacturing sector.

Occupational diseases and work accidents can cause a disability or premature death representing a high cost to society. Therefore, they must be prevented, generating awareness of the severity of their consequences, improving the control of the dangers that cause them, as well as strengthening their prevention, detection, diagnosis, treatment and registration.
