Contextualization: A large number of chemical products are used in industry and technological sectors, generating health risks for those who are exposed, and may induce alterations depending on the concentration, manipulation, exposure, and susceptibility of the worker. These chemical agents can produce a variety of irritating allergic, toxic and even carcinogenic effects.

Knowledeg gap: Ignorance of the danger added to the operating conditions of chemical carcinogenic chemicals that occur in the exercise of daily activities in the industry can affect human health.

Purpose: The objective of the study is to identify and classify the risk related to these chemical substances in a meat food processing plant in the department of Cauca (Colombia).

Methodology: In a first phase of diagnosis, an information search was carried out in specialized databases, in the second phase it was developed from the information collected through the inventory of chemical substances in the plant, which are distributed at different storage sites with potential exposure potential. To identify the chemical risk identification, a qualitative analysis is applied using the risk characterization criterion "international chemical control toolbox". Subsequently, a review of the regulations in force in Colombia related to the handling, applications and corresponding requirements of these substances was made, establishing necessary control and prevention measures for the chemical nature of these agents.

Results and conclusions: Through the inventory, 407 substances present in the plant were identified, of which 91% are classified as dangerous chemicals and 3% correspond to chemicals with a potential carcinogenic effect. The risk assessment took into account the combination of risk factors for health and potential exposure that determines the level of control desired, divided into four levels of approach (1, 2, 3, 4), with approach 4 being considered Special for being the most critical and most dangerous point. Finally, it was determined that the substances of greatest attention in the plant are: portland cement, COD solution B, Gasoline, Sikadur 32 Primer Comp B, Sikadur Panel Comp B, for being within the approach 4.
