Abstract :This research was conducted to determine the exposure perceptions of employees working in a food production facility in Çanakkale to physical risk factors that they may encounter in their workplaces and to examine the relationship between these risk factors and the descriptive characteristics of employees. A questionnaire including sociodemographic characteristics and occupational risk factors was administered to a total of 400 business employees. SPSS 27.0 statistical package program was preferred in the analysis of the data. Statistical methods such as frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, t-test and ANOVA test were used to evaluate the data. The results were evaluated at 95% confidence interval and 5% significance level. The results show that employees have a high level of exposure perceptions regarding the physical risk factors they encounter in the workplace. Despite the training and precautions taken, it has been revealed that adequate measures are not taken for occupational risks in the working environment. It has been determined that the risk factors that the employees are exposed to differ according to age, gender, education level, education about occupational risks, knowledge about occupational risks and the level of precautions taken. However, it was concluded that the unit is not related to the working time.
