Abstract

This article intends to present the results of a study conducted within the Master of Ergonomics in Safety at Work, which focused on a comparative analysis between 10 methods. This study aimed to investigate whether the risk rating obtained by these methods was identical for each of the risks previously identified and if the type of risk identified could affect the risk rating obtained by these same methods.
