Özet
This study examined the impact of the 5S lean production methodology on occupational safety in a lumber workshop in Osmaniye. The risk levels were analyzed using the 5x5 Matrix Risk Assessment method before and after the 5S implementation. The implementation process lasted 14 days, and the results revealed significant improvements in occupational safety, with a 53% reduction in risk levels. This finding demonstrates the effectiveness of the 5S methodology in preventing workplace accidents and creating a safe working environment. The 5S methodology not only improved safety but also positively affected workplace productivity by ensuring organization, cleanliness, and standardization. It minimized material waste, reduced time loss, and streamlined work processes. Additionally, employees' safety awareness increased, leading to a safer and more organized work environment. However, as this study was conducted in a single workshop, its findings may need to be more generalizable to other sectors. Further research is needed to evaluate the long-term impacts and sustainability of the method. In conclusion, the 5S methodology effectively enhances occupational safety and prevents accidents in high-risk industries. Regular audits and training programs are essential for sustaining its benefits. Future studies can contribute to the literature by examining the method's effects in different sectors and its long-term advantages.
