Identifying and minimising/preventing the work environment risk factor means avoiding the emerging of extreme or unpredictable situations, ensuring employees’ health or feeling well. The employees in their work environment may be threatened not only by technical and physical, but also by psychological conditions on the basis of which there are problems of psychosocial origin. The fact that the number of stress related illnesses is rising indicates that this is an important problem. The aim of this study was to research in the work environment assessment in the aspect of the work psychology processes in enterprises/organisations. The methodological basis of the research is the studies of publications pertaining to the theme of the research, non-structured observations and the analysis of the reports written by work safety specialists (submitted by e-mail) on the work environment assessment in the aspect of the work psychological processes. The analysis was carried out using the software programme Weft QDA. The obtained results show that risk (physical, chemical, psychological) assessment is carried out in enterprises, but the respondents acknowledge that it is usually carried out superficially and it does not reflect the actual situation.
