Occupational Health and Safety Practices in Furniture Businesses in Bartın Province
Abstract
The law on occupational health and safety first entered into force on June 30, 2012, with the publication in the Official Gazette. As of January 1, 2014, “The Law on Occupational Health and Safety” made it compulsory for not only big businesses but also for small businesses under “risk” group to have occupation safety specialist, doctor and allied health personnel. The law is built on the necessity of following occupational health and safety precautions in order to create a healthier working environment for employees, protect their physical and mental health, identify the risks to prevent business accidents and remove the existing risks.
The purpose of this study is to examine the reflections of this law on some micro, small and medium-scale furniture businesses operating in Bartın province. Within the scope of the study, the existing practices and potential threats in randomly selected businesses are observed and documented with photographs.Keywords
