Appropriate actions and measures were proposed to reduce identified threats. Findings: The threats analysis at the work stations was carried out. The cards of threats identification were the basis to risk estimation carried out. Moreover the risk acceptability criteria were proposed. Research limitations/implications: The proper risk management in the enterprise assures the safety, financial stabilization and increase of efficiency and consciousness in the range of workers safety. Practical implications: The cards of the risk assessment that were made for three work stations in the analysed organization making possible the introduction of preventive and corrective actions reducing possibility of occurrence of accidents and morbidity of employers on occupational diseases. Originality/value: In this paper indicated that analysed enterprise takes care of own workers safety.
