ABSTRACT
A little over two centuries ago, through the studies of Ramazzini, Occupational Health-a branch of Preventive Medicine-came into being. The possibility of damage or loss involving the presence of an adverse event is characterized as an occupational risk (Brasil, 2006). In addition, it may be a condition or set of circumstances that have the potential to cause harmful effects such as death, injury, illness, or damage to health, property or the environment (Neves, 2007).
