Today, the technology is rapidly developing, bringing significant changes in the work life as in every field. As a result of these changes, a rapid and intense machinery is also experienced in the production process, and it creates a significant pressure on the employees in the production process, diversifying the abilities of the people who actually work in the production process from a physical and mental point of view. Ergonomics is of great importance to eliminate or minimize the negative effects of the fast and oppressive working system that causes negative effects on the performance of the employee. This study conducted an ergonomic risk analysis in a compressor factory at the production line’s workstations and was evaluated by the REBA (Rapid Entire Body Assessment) method. REBA is recommended as a tool to easily assess the risk status of muscle disorders related to work, without the need for ergonomic or expensive equipment. The REBA method can evaluate multiple positions within the work cycle without significant time, effort and cost. In this study, 10 workstations were evaluated with the REBA method and the necessary improvement recommendations were presented to the top management. This study detailed the ERBA ergonomic risk assessment conducted in two workstations and included the recommendations for improvement. These improvement recommendations have reduced ergonomic risks by changing the place and angle of the sick seat, setting the operator's seat height, taking vacuum pergel wire for transportation to stations where overload is placed, and taking a positionable lifting vehicle.
