Abstract :Due to the high flammability of materials used at all stages of the textile industry, fires are frequently observed in textile-based businesses. A factory fire can cause significant financial losses and may even lead to loss of life. Therefore, this study examines textile fires. Specifically fire risks encountered in cotton yarn manufacturing businesses were investigate and a Risk Priority Number (RPN) based risk analysis was conducted. The causes of fire incidents in workplaces and the resulting risks were examined. The stages of a fire initial, steady-state, and hot smoke were analyzed using the fuzzy FMEA method to assess control management. The study concluded that the danger of flame tongues, toxic gases in the smoke, and the risk of spreading during the initial phase are highly critical. The scale used in traditional FMEA is based on absolute values, and the lack of historical data presents challenges for occupational safety professionals conducting risk analyses. Fuzzy logic can provide more realistic results without relying on absolute values.
