The article deals with urgent questions concerning activities of woodworking industries, which face tough economic situation. Nevertheless, these enterprises reveal a definite growth of output in some kinds of products, such as fuel pellets, window units, special timber assortments, etc. The problems about possible risks connected with equipment handling were identified, which has physical and intellectual wear, as most of it has been operating since 1980. On the basis of accomplished investigations of normative and technical sources the documents were specified, which establish safety regulations for operating equipment and requirements for risk assessment techniques. The necessity of their improvement is also determined. Taking into consideration peculiarities of management of woodworking production process, the analysis was carried out in order to estimate the factors, which influence the quality of mechanical treatment by the method of 5M. Following the observations and processing of statistical data it was established that equipment and personnel show the greatest impact on the quality of half-finished and final products. Risks evaluation method for woodworking industries is suggested with due account for equipment safety parameters, which includes determination of consequences, risk probability, risk level on scale factored “high”, “medium” and “low”. Much attention is paid to the items composed: rank matrix of two-factor model, with calculations of numerical values of risks, as product probability of occurrence and severity of consequences, and risk log. Three zones were appointed with the following risk levels: the first zone with weighting factor not less than 6, the second zone: 8-16, the third: 20-25. In course of investigation, it was detected that the highest risk factor, connected with equipment operation, is probability of mechanical injuries of hands and most possible – getting cuts. The flow chart of risks management during the woodworking production process is offered in accordance with all Union State Standard regulations R ISO 9001-2015 and GOST R ISO/MAC 31010-2011. The developed algorithm provides accomplishing performance of work on risks management in more available and short form with presentation of processing operations, actual doers, kinds of required normative documents and papers worked out within the enterprise
