Abstract

In this current study, the impact of implementing 6S (5S+Safety) in the machining industry on occupational safety was investigated by selecting the chip machining section of a factory producing flywheels. To facilitate the comparison of risk levels before and after the implementation of 6S, a Fine-Kinney risk evaluation was conducted in the sawdust department before the application of 6S. The 6S implementation process took 28 days, and subsequently, a Fine-Kinney risk evaluation was performed in the sawdust department, revealing a 77.4% reduction in risks. As a result, the 77.4% reduction in accident risks indicates that the implementation of 6S, which emphasizes safety within the framework of the 5S principles, leads to a more organized, cleaner, and safer machine workshop environment. We can indicate that this approach not only reduces the risk of accidents but also enhances work efficiency, preventing time loss and material waste.
