Machines used in yarn production and risk assessment

The first step of production in the textile sector is yarn production. The machines used in yarn production increase the production and create great dangers for the workers. These hazards in machines generally arise from moving parts. In this sector where there are many dangers, this thesis study was carried out in order to make a risk assessment for the machines used in yarn production and the spinning mill department. In addition, a sector-specific risk assessment has been created against the dangers and risks that may be found in this workplace that produces yarn. As a result of this risk assessment, it has been determined that the highest risk in terms of risk is in the yarn preparation and spinning department. It was observed that the determined risk factors were mostly caused by mechanical factors. In the study, information was given about preventive and protective measures in order to eliminate the risk factors foreseen in the workplace.
