Comprehensive analysis of OSH practices from perspectives of Turkish construction stakeholders
Abstract
Theoretical improvements related to occupational safety and health (OSH) concept is observed in Turkey as a developing country in recent years. However, fatal occupational accidents are increasing in the Turkish construction sector as well as the other industries. Correspondingly this study purposes to investigate the evolution of the OSH practices from different viewpoints by stakeholders in the Turkish construction sector. A survey study was conducted to a total of 400 respondents as; chief technical officers (CTOs), employers, OSH experts, site guards and workers. The survey study consists of five sections, including; (1) demographic properties of the participants, (2) safety equipment and occupational accidents, (3) employee health, education and awareness, (4) OSH practices, and (5) working conditions of the construction sector, environmental conscience and sustainability. The results indicate that despite the conceptual improvement, there are serious perceptual differences among stakeholders; particularly between the OSH experts and the CTOs/workers. The education level is also observed as a non-determinant factor in terms of safety equipment used in the Turkish construction sector.
