Abstract: Introduction: occupational risk is one of the problems that persist in public and private institutions. Today, occupational health and safety at work have become a global concern within work activities. Occupational risk is the proximity, contiguity or imminence of a possible work-related occupational injury, which implies a correlation between the worker and the employer. Objective: to determine the main risk factors to which agricultural workers are exposed. Method: A review of the literature was carried out from databases such as SciELO, Scopus, ClinicalKey. Filters were used for the selection of articles in English and Spanish, empirical methods such as logical history and analysis and synthesis were used for the collection and understanding of the information obtained. A total of 20 bibliographic references were selected that addressed different considerations on the subject. Development: occupational hazards are dangerous situations present in the work environment that can cause incidents or accidents, resulting in physical injuries, psychological damage and trauma, the main objective is to eliminate or reduce the probability of these events through the planning and adaptation of preventive measures. Conclusions: The relevance of the study on occupational risk prevention lies in its potential to reduce occupational diseases and promote the adoption of preventive measures that mitigate accidents in the workplace and in other related areas
