Abstract (EN): This work shows that despite the variety of risk assessment methods available, that can be used together or separately, to determine occupational risk assessment on different activities of port work (MSA, 2004), (Silva et al., 2007), (IMO, 2007), a practical and validated method would become a valuable tool to use in different real scenarios in a OHS approach. The identification of the most probable scenarios and variables studied pretends to be the base to an occupational risk assessment model of direct use in port work.
