The article considers the current problems of assessing the technic and organiza-tional level of worksites of mining enterprises, necessary for the organizer of mining produc-tion to create safe working conditions when conducting underground mining. It is proposed to carry out such assessment by means of multiscaling and verbal-point ranking of evaluation factors by several gradations according to a set of workplace safety criteria, as well as identified hazards and the degree of risk of their impact on the worker's body. The proposed methods of this new procedure required by the Labor Code of the Russian Federation and the main methods of matrix assessment of occupational risks are shown.
