Professional activities can cause injury to the worker and their occurrence varies according to the probability and severity. In face of the need of establishing a model that can help the risk manager to prioritize actions in routine work activities, this study, through the application of legal and regulatory context, social security laws, regulatory and research norms, proposes the application of a matrix risk assessment for factors and / or sources of occupational risk. The matrix includes analysis of probability (unlikely, probable and highly probable), severity (without injury, minor injury, serious injury or occupational and fatal illness or permanent disability) and the number of workers and results in four types of graduation: Critical Risk, High, Moderate and Low. Critical Risk Activities, takes priority in actions to eliminate risk, followed by high, moderate and low risk. Critical Risk activities, beyond the routine of work, should include a risk analysis, when this is not required by any regulations. Critical and high-risk activities should be part of periodic inspections.
