English term or phrase: precursors
This is a form for crew members to fill in, mainly about security issues, injuries, accidents, etc.
There is a section called Serious Injury Precursors, under which there is a list of risk activities of the day, such as work at height/demolition/manual handling and so forth, for the crew member to pick from.

What would be a word in Spanish for Precursors? antecedentes? or simply precursores?
