The textile industry is one of the largest global manufacturing sectors, characterized by complex technological processes, labor-intensive operations, and significant exposure to occupational hazards. Workers are routinely subjected to physical, chemical, biological, ergonomic, and psychosocial risks that may lead to acute injuries, chronic occupational diseases, and reduced productivity. This study provides a comprehensive assessment and analysis of professional risks in the textile industry, integrating hazard identification, qualitative and quantitative risk assessment methods, and preventive strategies. The research synthesizes recent scientific findings, regulatory frameworks, and best-practice models to develop a structured risk assessment framework applicable to textile enterprises. Key hazards include cotton dust exposure, noise pollution, chemical agents used in dyeing and finishing, repetitive motion injuries, heat stress, and unsafe machine operations. The paper proposes a multi-level risk management model incorporating engineering controls, administrative measures, and personal protective equipment (PPE). Flowcharts and analytical diagrams are developed to visualize hazard pathways, risk evaluation processes, and mitigation strategies. The findings emphasize the necessity of systematic occupational risk management, continuous monitoring, and worker training programs to ensure sustainable and safe textile production.
