To carry out this research, a qualitative approach was used to collect information of interest that would allow an analysis of the threats and risks present in the Mayor's Office of the Municipality of Corozal-Sucre. Likewise, the vulnerability of people was evaluated. resources, systems and processes of the entity in order to structure a documented action plan that determines the appropriate responses to prevent and mitigate emergencies.

The implementation of a management system around the health and safety of workers ceased to be an option and became an obligation, highlighting the need and benefits of a correct implementation of a management model that facilitates the adequate establishment of strategies. and the development of measures that ensure the achievement of care objectives for workers through the prevention and mitigation of occupational risks.
