Abstract: This research paper presents an innovative and comprehensive approach to safety risk evaluation in large-scale manufacturing enterprises in Ethiopia. The study uses in-depth literature reviews for identifying and categorizing safety risk factors, emphasizing the importance of safety, and evaluating the likelihood and consequences of risks. The proposed approach combines qualitative and quantitative methodologies; this innovative approach sets this study apart by providing a holistic and robust framework for safety risk assessment. The findings of the study highlight the critical significance of major safety risks in the manufacturing industry. These findings underscore the importance of addressing issues such as worker behavior, training, equipment maintenance, and safety protocols. Based on the study's outcomes, practical implications for risk prioritization and management in large-scale manufacturing enterprises emerge. The methodologies proposed in this study empower manufacturing enterprises to develop proactive risk management strategies tailored to their specific contexts. This study's practical insights aid in reducing accidents, injuries, and environmental damage, contributing to improved overall performance and productivity. In conclusion, this study presents an innovative and comprehensive approach to safety risk assessment in Ethiopian large-scale manufacturing enterprises. The study's key findings highlight the critical safety risks in the manufacturing industry, emphasizing the need for targeted risk reduction strategies. The practical implications of this research offer valuable guidance for risk prioritization and management, enabling companies to create safer work environments and improve their overall safety performance. The findings contribute to theory development and emphasize the importance of proactive risk management practices in the manufacturing industry.
