Abstract
The application of the method for assessing the risks of occupational injury
and illness at work starts with the description of the company, which includes
information about its name, location, object of activity, etc., the working system’s
description (employees, work environment, tasks, means of production) as well as a
brief explanation regarding the methodology of the assessment method. After this
information, the method’s application is presented in a Microsoft Excel document. As
the final step, a list of health and safety measures leading to the implementation of the
prevention and protection plan is presented. This chapter aims to present the stages
involved in creating the Microsoft Excel document. This Excel file comprises several
sheets, which show various occupational injury and illness risks segregated into the
working system’s components. Additionally, a case study about the application of the
method in the automobile industry is presented.
