After this information, the method’s application is presented in a Microsoft Excel document. As the final step, a list of health and safety measures leading to the implementation of the prevention and protection plan is presented. This chapter aims to present the stages involved in creating the Microsoft Excel document. This Excel file comprises several sheets, which show various occupational injury and illness risks segregated into the working system’s components. Additionally, a case study about the application of the method in the automobile industry is presented.
