The importance of occupational health and safety is understood better every year, as it makes the working environment safer and more efficient with the measures taken. In our country, enterprises operating in the furniture and wood industry have an important place in terms of occupational health and safety, as they are in the category of enterprises with high accident risk. There is a high probability of encountering situations that may cause serious injury or even death if precautions are not taken against situations that may pose danger in such enterprises. In this study, it is aimed to carry out a risk assessment study in order to prevent occupational accidents, dangerous situations that may cause death and occupational diseases by applying the L Type (5X5) matrix method in 4 different enterprises operating in the medium-sized furniture and wood industry in the city center of Artvin. In addition, information about occupational health and safety and whether they are aware of the dangers they are in during the work was obtained by applying a questionnaire to the managers and employees working in the enterprise. As a result, by reinforcing the occupational health and safety awareness of the employees in these high-hazard class businesses, risks and accidents that may occur in the future can be minimized and a more productive working environment can be provided for the employees. By eliminating the deficiencies related to occupational health and safety, financial losses arising from production disruptions can be prevented.
