The primary objective of this study is to examine the impact of in-service training on safety and health indicators in the Prison Organization, analyzed using factor analysis. This study is applied in terms of its objective and descriptive-analytical in terms of its execution. A researcher-developed questionnaire was designed with 27 questions based on the conceptual model of the study. The statistical population consisted of 2,875 individuals, and the sample size was determined to be 261 participants. The questionnaire was distributed among employees and experts of the Prison Organization and the Correctional and Rehabilitation Measures Organization. The findings indicated that in the safety component, familiarity with the fire triangle, conducting fire drills, and learning various fire extinguishing methods ranked first to third in priority. In the health component, computer screen lighting, prevention of lumbar and cervical disc disorders, and reduction of job dissatisfaction were identified as the top three priorities. Therefore, it is essential that in-service training for employees of the Prison Organization be conducted in a targeted manner.
