Currently, all companies are looking how to have a lower accident rate ensuring the health and integrity of its employees and facilities through a cultural evolution regarding industrial safety models focused on Bradley curve. Based on the company’s historical data, it was located on a cultural level of reactive industrial safety, for this reason, there was the need for a correlational research with a quantitative approach, in order to design and implement a tool for hazard identification and risk assessment according to the specific requirements of the company. Among the determined specific objectives, the values of the probability and severity variables that were used in the form of records, resulting the most frequent types of hazards in the company are mechanical risks with 61,40%; and ergonomic risks with 21.53%. After finishing applying the tool, risk levels prioritization were considered only by those defined as critical to give a proposal for controls that reduce or eliminate the risk.
