Abstract The right to a healthy and safe working environment is recognised as a fundamental right for individuals in professional life. In recent years, as has been observed in the rest of the world, the importance attributed to occupational health and safety has been increasing in our country. In response to mounting demands, numerous industrial sectors have undergone development, notably the automotive industry. This expansion within the automotive sector has also contributed to the growth of the automotive subsidiary industry. The inherent risks associated with automotive subsidiary factories, which involve multiple processes, have been a subject of increasing concern. Employees in automotive subsidiary factories, particularly those in metal processing plants, are susceptible to numerous risks that can result in occupational accidents and various occupational diseases. This study aims to identify the risks in the automotive subsidiary industry and propose solutions to enhance worker safety in this sector. In 2023, a total of 15,873 occupational accidents occurred in the automotive subsidiary industry, and 41 employees were diagnosed with occupational diseases. This underscores the importance of the present research. The study was conducted in an automotive spare parts factory that produces stabiliser bars, hood rods, and springs. A comprehensive analysis of the risks encountered by workers during production was conducted using the Fine-Kinney risk analysis method, and the obtained results were evaluated. The scope of the study encompassed risks arising throughout the entire production process, from the intake of raw materials to the shipment of finished products. Recommendations were provided to address the identified risks. The risk analysis yielded a total of 66 risks, for which 66 corrective and preventive actions were proposed to mitigate these risks.
