Despite the substantial workforce in micro-scale workshops, these environments have received limited research attention. This study aims to identify and assess the risks associated with hazards in a selected carpentry workshop within a wire industry setting. Methods: Utilizing the Job Safety Analysis (JSA) method for hazard identification, we delineated the primary tasks performed by carpenters and outlined their respective steps. The AS/NZS 4360:2004 standard was employed to evaluate risk levels. Results: Our findings revealed that, under the current conditions, 14.3% of identified hazards had a risk priority number of 4, indicating a high risk; 61.9% had a risk priority number of 3, representing intermediate risk; and 23.8% had a risk priority number of 2, signifying low risk. Among the identified hazards, awkward postures accounted for the highest Relative Frequency at 19.04%, followed by falling wood at 14.28%. Conclusion: Based on the findings, implementing appropriate policies, adequate supervision, and adherence to legal requirements were recommended to enhance safety and health. Ergonomic principles and load-carrying techniques in carpentry practices are crucial for mitigating risks in these workshops. https://ijoh.tums.ac.ir/index.php/ijoh/article/view/649 https://ijoh.tums.ac.ir/index.php/ijoh/article/download/649/817
