Abstract

Occupational health and safety includes the physical, emotional and mental well-being of the employee while doing their job. Risk assessment is the most important step in occupational health and safety. Risk assessment in occupational health and safety is carried out in a workplace to protect the interests of both the employer and the employees. Thus, it is aimed to eliminate events such as loss of labor, loss of production and cost, and work accidents. Today, various methods are used for risk assessment. One of these is the Fine Kinney Method. In this study, it is aimed to evaluate the Fine Kinney method, one of the risk assessment methods within the scope of occupational health and safety, with an example. In the study conducted, in order to examine occupational health and safety measures in the office environment for entrepreneurs, potential hazards were determined using the Fine-Kinney risk assessment method and corrective measures were planned to reduce risk levels.
