Abstract :This article presents a detailed risk assessment conducted in 2023 at a denim factory operating in the textile fiber and yarn bleaching and dyeing services sector with NACE code 13.30.02, located in Bartın, employing 400 workers. Using the Fine-Kinney method, hazards were analyzed in terms of likelihood, severity, and frequency, facilitating the prioritization of risks. The assessment identified a total of 20 risk sources. Prominent hazards included electric shock risks from exposed electrical cables, fire risks due to improper storage, and working-at-height risks arising from insufficient equipment. Most of these hazards were categorized as intolerable risks, and specific corrective actions were recommended for each. For instance, fire risks were mitigated by installing proper firefighting equipment, reorganizing storage areas, and enhancing safety measures for chemical storage. By the end of the study, preventive measures reduced the risks to acceptable levels, and the second risk analysis conducted in 2024 showed a significant improvement, with the accident frequency rate decreasing from 52.76 in 2023 to 28.26 in 2024. This article provides guidance on risk management for similar enterprises in the textile sector while highlighting the effectiveness of the Fine-Kinney method, offering a valuable contribution to the literature.
