The assessment of workplace hazards involves recognizing the likelihood of occurrence and the severity of potential injuries or occupational diseases to employees. The risk assessment is performed by a team of experts from various scientific and professional fields to objectively evaluate the attributive and/or numerically expressed level of risk, which will inform the employer and the employee about the extent of exposure to a harmful event. In this paper, the risk assessment of one workplace "Power line fitter" in a business entity was carried out, using the qualitative matrix method. The risk assessment for the mentioned workplace showed that it is a workplace with a medium risk of working at height, the danger of direct contact with parts of the electrical installation and live equipment, and harmful climatic influences - work in an open space, which was confirmed by the use of other risk assessment method.
