Abstract: Objective To understand and evaluate the occupational hazard factors existing in stainless steel kitchenware companies,and thereby propose effective prevention and control measures to protect the occupational health of workers in such companies. Methods From November to December 2023,on-site detection of occupational hazard factors in the company was carried out,and the detection results were analyzed and evaluated. Results The main occupational hazard factors existing in the production process of a stainless steel kitchenware company in Shaanxi were other dusts,welding fumes,and noise. The concentration of other dusts in the grinding area was 3.6 mg/m³,and the welding fumes in the welding area was 2.6 mg/m³. The on-site noise measurement results in the cutting area,punching and shearing area,and grinding area were all greater than 85 dB（A）,belonging to noisy workplaces. The 8-hour equivalent sound levels of punching and shearing workers and grinding workers were all greater than 80 dB（A）,being noisy work positions. Conclusion The key control processes for occupational hazards in this stainless steel kitchenware company are raw material shearing,raw material welding,and product grinding,and the key control positions are punch and shear operators,electric welders,and grinders. Production enterprises should actively take effective measures to improve ventilation,dust removal,and noise control so as to ensure the occupational health of workers.
