Abstract

As each sector and industry has its own risks and hazards in terms of occupational health and safety, many of these can also be found in the textile industry. A good analysis of these risks and hazards, the correct and quick determination of the precautions to be taken can prevent many occupational accidents that may occur. In this study, the current risk assessment forms of a textile company operating in Bursa were examined. As the result of these analyzes made, the hazards of the current risks were classified into 8 main criteria and 55 sub-criteria. In order to determine the internal and external dependencies of these criteria, the ANP method, one of the multi-criteria decision making methods, was used. Thanks to the ANP, weightings of the main criteria and sub-criteria were obtained. In this way, the main criterion with the highest priority hazard has been determined as the criterion of machinery, working equipment and hand tools. The moving rotating part was found as the most prioritized sub-criterion of this main criterion. As a result of the comparisons of each sub-criterion with the sub-criteria in different main criteria, the most priority sub-criterion was determined as electric shock.
