The Agri-food Industry is the largest Portuguese Industry, constituted
mainly by micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs). Occupational Safety and
Health (OSH) conditions in an agri-food MSME have its own characteristics
depending on the specific food sector. This condition makes the prevention strategies
implementation difficult and heightens the problematic of work accidents. In this
chapter are described online and offline free computational tools developed to perform
OSH risks assessment in the dairy, meat processing, bakery and horticultural
subsectors. The tools provide a simple and expedite diagnostic of occupational
hazards and risks. Depending on the input data, the tools output identifies successful
practices and easy-to-implement solutions for occupational risk prevention. These
computational tools aim to empower Portuguese agri-food SMEs to implement
innovative OSH management practices in order to prevent work accidents.
