%X The identification, assessment and reduction of the risks is among of the most important issues of the safety at work. This paper's goal is to demonstrate the effectiveness of a new risk assessment method proposed by the authors and presented in the past (Fera and Macchiaroli, 2009). In general, one can deal with risk assessment using different methods: quantitative, qualitative or a mix; however, the typical models proposed in the literature are difficult to implement in SMEs. The method proposed in this paper is a mixed one whose effectiveness is demonstrated through an application study carried out in different industrial systems, like a steel industry or a logistic services provider.<p />
