Purpose: The aim of this paper is to present a modification of a popular occupational risk assessment method named Risk Score. Moreover, occupational risk assessment for the vibration damping test station at the final assembly line of shock absorbers was shown. Design/methodology/approach: The study showed the imperfection of the original Risk Score method. According to the proposed modification of the method the occupational risk assessment at the selected workstation in the production plant was carried out. Findings: The characteristics of the original Risk Score method was presented. The changes in the underlying method were introduced. Next the original Risk Score method with its modification have been compared. Research limitations/implications: In the article the individual steps taking into account the improvements of the original Risk Score method were discussed. The popular Risk Score method compared with its modification on the example of shortened card of the occupational risk assessment at the position. Practical implications: The modified method is more accurate, reliable and effective. That can be observed in the case of risk valuation for the selected threats at the position. Originality/value: The modified Risk Score method significantly improve the whole process of assessment and can be used for the occupational risk assessment at each position.
