The most common predictive and exposure models for assessing the risk of exposure to pesticides on workers are considered. The main differences in calculating the indicators of the degree of possible percutaneous action of pesticides have been determined. The analysis of the models and our own research made it possible to propose the development of unified approaches in establishing the value of professional risk.

Key words: Pesticide risk assessment models, review, comparative characteristics, own research
