AB  - Objectives. The fact that occupational accidents are a permanent problem in the 
      forest products sector encouraged this research to be conducted on the factors 
      affecting the risk-taking behavior (RTB) of employees in the sector. 
      Understanding the RTB of employees in the sector would help managers to reduce 
      occupational accidents and to develop effective safety interventions. Therefore, 
      this study aimed to determine the effects of individual, organizational and 
      workplace factors and sub-factors on the RTB of employees by using the structural 
      equation model (SEM). Methods. A survey was conducted on 623 employees of the 
      forest products sector in 64 enterprises in the provinces of Duzce, Bolu, 
      Sakarya, Kocaeli and Yalova. Results. The results revealed that organizational 
      and workplace factors had a significant effect on the RTB of the employees. 
      However, no effect was found for individual factors, although the sub-factor of 
      cognitive bias had a positive impact on RTB. In contrast, safety climate, safety 
      training, use of personal protective equipment (PPE)-1 and working conditions 
      negatively impacted the RTB of the employees. Conclusions. In terms of 
      occupational health and safety, this study could serve to guide both sector 
      managers and decision-makers on ways to improve the safety perception of their 
      employees.
