The aim is to identify the components of prevention and coping with school risks for 8-9 year-old students (n = 584) of Navarra (Spain), in relation to the skills involved in the construction of a safer school environment. The data collection is done through the School Accident Perception Questionnaire (CPAE) and analysis of the main components, according to the Varimax rotation method with Kaiser. Five components are discovered in relation to the competences: 1st safe conducts, promoters of health and well-being; 2nd reflective and introspective thinking; 3rd representation and interpretation; 4th preventive strategies and 5th resolution of conflicts and education in values. As a result, we found that the child, as health asset, contributes to the creation of safer school environments.
