In this work, a risk analysis for working with an analyzer for gamma cameras diagnostic was made. The method employed is based on determining the Hazard Rating Number (HRN). The results showed that the risks with higher value of HRN are electrocution with 100 and touch source container with hands with 75. These risks were classified as "Very High" and "High" respectively. The following risks were classified as "Important":  Fall of the source container (HRN = 25), high dose of the sample in the container (HRN = 20) and fracture of glass detector (HRN = 30). The wrong shielding of the source container (HRN= 10) is a risk that was classified as "Low". Safety rules for use of the system are indicated. An action plan for risk management is also presented
