Abstract
Risk management in work environments requires the introduction of mechanisms able to identify the causes and the indications, which precede accidents in order to avoid them whenever this is possible. Most of the accidents are announced by risk events, which may be identified and managed before their evolution into accidents through preventive strategies. We propose to address risks by proposing risk management strategies where the risk is explicitly defined and revealing and protection devices generate risk events managed through conditions and set of actions.
