ABSTRACT Aim: The textile sector, which has a significant market share in national and international trade, provides employment for people who will work in our country. Risk factors arise from the machines used in the production stage or in other stages, and the working styles and working conditions of the employees in the workplace. Two of these risk factors are dust and noise. These factors adversely affect employee health. Measures should be taken against these risk factors that adversely affect the health of the employee and a healthier and safer working environment should be provided to the employees in terms of occupational health and safety. The aim of our study is to determine the level of dust and noise in the enterprise, which will adversely affect the working and health conditions of the workers working in the textile sector. It is to evaluate whether it is suitable for the value that should be in the environment and to determine the protection measures that should be taken for those working in unsuitable areas. Material and Methods: For this purpose, the dust and noise measurement results of three textile companies producing in Uşak province were evaluated. The data obtained as a result of the environmental measurements made in the enterprises were evaluated. The results of the evaluation were compared with the values in the relevant regulations.
