Companies seeking sustainable growth should point to strategies that give them competitive advantages over potential competitors in the same sector. In small and medium enterprises, a fifth of work accidents are generated, therefore, greater control must be regularized by public institutions that fulfill these functions. This work aims to evaluate the context of a publishing services company that has 14 employees to determine the employees' perception regarding occupational accidents, risks and the degree of knowledge and commitment that is demonstrated by the senior management. The research was carried out through surveys applied to 100% of the population. It was determined that 79% of the respondents considered that risks arise as falls at the same level, which is related to disorder due to accumulation of boxes and accumulated material. On the other hand, 65% consider the implementation of a system for occupational safety and health management important and necessary. Therefore, the implementation of an occupational health and safety management system according to ISO 45001: 2018 will allow the organization and planning of activities related to occupational risk prevention, as well as documented information and the creation of procedures.
