Social security has become an indisputably important factor for agricultural business development, especially for the floriculture production branch, despite the economist management vision on this subject. This article addresses the situation of social security and occupational health in flower companies of the Boyacá department (Colombia) with a characterization and analysis of these systems. The present study used a descriptive and inductive methodology and a descriptive analysis (frequencies and contingency tables) for the statistical technique. Notably, the results showed that 90% of the manual labor is direct, also consulting and advising flower companies in health and pensions amounted to 85%; while for occupational risks, the level of counseling and intervention reached 57.14% of the effective support. Also, 85.71% of the employees have health insurance but 57.14% are not affiliated with the pension program. Remarkably, when occupational health programs exist, they are not put into practice in most cases.
