Analytical Study for Risk Assessment (Case study: Atbara Flour Mill Factory)

Abstract

Flourmills are one of the workplaces with occupational health hazards due to irregular workplaces and environments where insufficient attention is paid to workers’ safety. In this context, considering the extent of difficulties faced by workers in flourmills, hazards and risks that could affect the health and occupational safety of workers were investigated in Atbara flourmills. After referring to the study and evaluation of the manufacturing section, it is noted that the factory's safety department specializes only in security and fire safety and lacks occupational safety and health. Therefore, workers do not comply with personal safety equipment, especially in the workshop and on the first floor (machinery section), as workers in these two sections are the most exposed to danger. Additionally, there are no warning signs in any of the factory's departments.
