COVID-19, Mart 2020'de Dünya Sağlık Örgütü tarafından bir salgın olarak ilan edildi. Yayılma zincirini kırmak için dünyadaki çoğu ülkede bir kapanma gerçekleşti. Aynı yılın Mayıs ayı sonlarında, insanları SARS-CoV-2 tehlikesinden korumak için yeni düzenlemelerle yeniden açılış başladı. Bu çalışmanın amacı, COVID-19 Pandemisi sırasında Kuzey Kıbrıs'ta COVID ile ilgili mesleki önleyici tedbirlerin ne ölçüde alındığını değerlendirmektir. Alınan gözlemlenebilir önlemleri belirlemek için Kuzey Kıbrıs'taki farklı endüstrilere bir kontrol listesi hazırlanmış ve uygulanmıştır. OSHA-EU'nun çevrimiçi etkileşimli risk değerlendirme (OiRA) aracı kullanılarak özel bir hastanede bir risk değerlendirmesi (RD) gerçekleştirildi. Sadece ana girişlerde maske kullanımı ve alkol bazlı dezenfektanlar (% 54,55) alınan en önemli tedbirlerdi. İnsan trafiğinin yoğun olduğu bir hastane ortamında (çoğunlukla hasta) yürütülen RD, hastanenin yeni SARS-COV-2 mesleki risk faktörü için iyi hazırlanmadığını gösterdi. İşyeri yönetiminin iyi olmadığı, fiziksel teması ve dolayısıyla enfeksiyon riskini azaltmak için en önemli, temel genel önlemlerin bile benimsenmediği görülmüştür.

COVID-19 was announced to be a pandemic by the World Health Organization in March 2020. A lockdown in most countries throughout the world took place to break the chain of its spread. In late May of the same year re-opening started with new regulations to protect people from this new SARS-CoV-2 hazard. The goal of this study was to evaluate the degree to which COVID related occupational preventive measures were being taken in North Cyprus (NC) at the time of the COVID-19 Pandemic. A checklist was prepared and applied to different industries in NC to identify the observable measures taken. A risk assessment (RA) was conducted in a private hospital using the online interactive risk assessment (OiRA) tool of OSHA-EU. Mask usage and alcohol-based disinfectants at only the main entrances (54.55%) were the most important measures taken. The RA conducted in a hospital setting where there was a lot of people traffic, mostly patients, entering and exiting, showed that the hospital was not well prepared for the new SARS-COV-2 occupational risk factor. Poor workplace management is identified. Even the most important, basic general measures to reduce physical contact and therefore the risk of infection have not been adopted.
