The article presents the results of the study carried out on the occupational health and safety system of companies in the construction sector, classified in the general risk system as one of the highest. A descriptive research with a quantitative approach was carried out through the application of surveys directed at 203 workers from 5 companies in the construction sector in the Ocaña Norte de Santander region.
