Logging companies are extremely important in the economy of the country, but the large number of occupational accidents is of concern in this sector. It is therefore essential to act preventively in the cause of these accidents by identifying and controlling hazards. Thus, the objective of this work was to elaborate an Occupational Health and Safety Risk Matrix in a logging plant in Criciúma - SC. To this end, the applied matrix is based on the requirements set forth in BS OHSAS 18001: 2007. As a result it was observed that the greatest risk is incorrect posture and intense physical effort, as well as noise and projection of wood residues in the eyes and skin. It was inferred that with the matrix it was possible to identify the points in which a company should seek quick solutions to minimize the risks to which its employees are subjected daily.
