Industry 4.0, as one of the largest drivers of change, makes its presence felt in all work fields and enables new applications to participate in different sectors. The main question here is how a multi-disciplinary and proactive domain like Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) will be affected by the winds of change in Industry 4.0. Technological developments have changed the substance of the problems and the variety of solutions in the OHS domain. In this paper, the components forming the substance of the Industry 4.0 philosophy are introduced, and good operational examples of these components in OHS have been investigated. The purpose of this study is to consider the effect of Industry 4.0 on the OHS domain and make it more capable of being defined in a theoretical context. Hence, the advantages and disadvantages of the subject are discussed by introducing Industry 4.0-based OHS applications for different sectors in Turkey.}, number={1}, publisher={Marmara University}
