Background: The decision matrix risk assessment (DMRA) is a systematic approach widely adopted in risk management in occupational health and safety to make a risk analysis and assessment and assist in decision-making for risk tolerability. Risk is a substantial part of sports organizations as well as other organizations and daily life; therefore, it is inevitable in any activity. One may encounter various risks of injury since sports fields and equipment are not ergonomic for performing sports activities healthily Aim: Ultimately, to help improve the conditions of sports activities, the present strummed to determine the activities to be maintained as a result of a risk assessment using the decision matrix risk assessment technique where accidents are classified by their severity and probabilities. Methods: The present study adopted DMRA (L-shaped matrix); it is among the systematic methods widely used in occupational health and safety (OHS) risk assessment. In general, it is an assessment technique where one may obtain a risk assessment value by considering two factors. Results: Likewise, we identified those requiring control measures and a cease at the last resort. Conclusion: Overall, we proposed some corrective actions that may help prevent the occurrence of the presented accidents through the implementation of occupational health and safety regulations published by the correspondent institutions.

Basic Philosophy

The concept of Occupational Health and Safety has become increasingly important as a result of increased industrialization and the development of new technologies all over the world. The basic philosophy of Occupational Health and Safety is to reduce the number of work accidents and to provide a healthier work environment for employees. The most risky sectors in the world are designated as mining, agriculture, forestry and construction. Markets are classified as "Dangerous Classes of Occupational Health and Safety" issued by the Ministry of Labor and Social Security (ILO, 2004). When the risks are taken into consideration, marketing companies should perform risk analysis to ensure that hazards and problems will ocur. In this context, it is needed to provide and implement training on occupational health and safety regularly in order to protect against the identified risks. Periodic evaluations are performed at regular intervals that decrease in loss of life and property at marketing companies, both tangible as well as intangible losses will be reduced.

The paper describes a new method of occupational health and safety risk assessment. This method, called MEVA, unlike the old ones, focuses more on reduce or eliminate subjective issues in determining the probability of manifestation of risk factors and is based on a deductive reasoning, with the help of which is studied the chain between two or more events. The novelty of the method consists in combining risk assessment techniques with evaluation of compliance with legal and other requirements, aiming to provide a more objective results of the risk assessment. In the MEVA method, the risk matrix is defined by 5 classes of severity and 5 probability classes, resulting in 5 levels of risk. After quantifying the risk factors, prevention measures are proposed for all the identified risk factors and each partial risk level is recalculated as a result of the proposed measures. The five levels of risk were grouped into three categories: acceptable, tolerable and unacceptable. The MEVA method is a simple method and it can be used for assessing various workplaces, with different characteristics of complexity, activity domain or occupational health and safety recordings.
