The level of occupational risk caused by exposure to solar radiation type UVA and UVB was determined, the offices with the highest risk were selected and the corrective means were determined to mitigate the risk in the workstations of the Pasto campus of the Cooperative of Colombia University. For this purpose, daily measurements of incident ultraviolet radiative energy of solar origin were carried out in 29 work sections with 84 workers, during the periods between February 1 and March 14, 2017 and between March 7 and April 2, 2018. , obtaining maximum values with which the minimum erythemal dose and the maximum index of ultraviolet radiation IUV were calculated, values from which the probability of occurrence of the risk, its possible consequences and the level of risk were determined according to the methodology of the GTC-45:2012; Finally, it was established that 31% of the offices observed are exposed to an extremely high level of type I and II risk with an unacceptable critical condition that requires urgent intervention.
