The article presents the situation of a company of the Manufacturing Sector located in the state of Guanajuato, Mexico, which is dedicated to the manufacture of harnesses (wiring) for heavy equipment, supplies the needs of Mexico, the United States and Canada. We proceeded to start with the bases to begin Occupational Health and Safety Management in order to comply with the regulatory framework in the country of Mexico.

As a result, 28 hazards were identified in the production, warehouse and administrative areas; the risks observed were electrical, mechanical, physical, chemical, biological, ergonomic, psychosocial, surrounding, natural and locative. 43 % of the dangers are moderate, 22 % important, 21 % tolerable, 7 % trivial and 7 % intolerable, therefore, it is proposed to comply with the requirements applicable by official Mexican standards, those responsible for acting and indicators of compliance measurement.
