Abstract
Law requires from employers to assess occupational risk in workplaces. A well-executed occupational risk assessment promotes the improve-ment of working conditions and reduces a negative impacts on employees' health and life. Employers by conducting occupational risk assess-ment not
only meet legal requirements but also benefit from it in two ways. They eliminate loss of an enterprise connected with employees' absence, and they also decrease the probability of high compensation pay due to situations that have a destructive influence on the employees' health. However, in order to benefit from such actions, firstly, it is necessary to select a risk assessment method properly, then to apply it and implement preventive measures. The paper presents the results of the occupational risk assessment carried out on the example of a CNC ma-chine operator by means three-stage methods in accordance with the PN-N-18001, PHA and Risc Score. Despite the subjectivity of the assess-ment, there were differences in the results. Thus, it is advisable to choose a risk assessment method skilfully, for example by comparing several similar methods.
