Abstract :The aim of this study is to examine drill benches, which are frequently used in the machinery manufacturing industry, in terms of occupational health and safety.Using the `Fine-Kinney Risk Analysis` method, the drill bench used in a medium-sized machinery manufacturing factory in Konya was examined. The visuals taken from the drill benches and the data obtained by live observation were graded in the risk assessment tables.When the data obtained are analyzed; 2 of them are in the `Very High Risk` category, where the work should be interrupted and measures should be taken immediately, 4 in the `High Risk` category which should be eliminated by taking them into the short-term action plan. 2 of them are in the `Significant Risk` category, which should be carefully monitored and eliminated by taking them into the annual action plan, 1 of them are `Absolute Risk` category. Total of 9 risks were identified.With the risk analysis, it was concluded that drill benches contain some risks in terms of occupational health and safety.
