Occupational accidents occur as a result of deficiencies or mistakes in these studies. It is known that most of the work accidents are caused by not using personal protective equipment and unsafe behaviors. Personal protective equipments are products that can be used against many risks in the working environment in order to ensure that employees work in a healthy and safe manner. Within the scope of this study, a questionnaire form prepared by reaching 470 people working in 8 forest products (timber, furniture, board and paper) plants in İzmir and Balıkesir provinces was applied. There are two sections in the questionnaire form, which include some demographic characteristics and awareness of using personal protective equipment. When the results were examined, it was determined that the use of personal protective equipment did not differ according to demographic characteristics, and there were significant differences at the level of forest products subsectors.}, number={2}, publisher={Duzce University}
