Objective: to determine the perception of risk in the use of pesticides associated with work practices in farmers in four villages in the district of Pazos, in the province of Tayacaja, in the department of Huancavelica. Methodology: it presented a qualitative approach with a non-experimental, descriptive and cross-sectional design. A survey was made to 200 farmers from the Santa Cruz de Ila, Mullaca, Tongos and Quishuar villages, consisting of 43 questions, to inquire about the socioeconomic characteristics, knowledge, risk perceptions, work practices and symptoms of the individuals who handle pesticides. Results: it was found that 93.50% of the farmers were men and 6.5% were women. In addition, most of them had completed secondary education. Also, 76.5% responded that they had not received training on the safe handling of pesticides and pest control in the last 6 months. On the other hand, 77.5% of farmers added that pesticide management generates some risk to human and environmental health. Conclusions: it was deduced that most farmers perceive that the use of pesticides in their work practices can be harmful to their health; however, they consider it necessary for their crops.
