Abstract

Occupational health and safety related to the work done in workplaces in general people full body health and safety provision. In our country, the occupational health and safety risk assessment analysis moral, legal, and indirect costs has become crucial. Located in the workplace or identification of hazards from outside intrusion, it turned into a risk of danger that led to the factors analyzed by ranking of the risks arising from the dangers with and control measures will be utilized for the purposes of risk assessment and analysis work required. These occupational accidents are a problem that must be resolved as a country reality. Any work that does not have security and supervision issues an accident invitation. Today, worker health and work safety remain a problem that needs to be resolved. In this study, occupational health and safety measures and interventions to be taken against emergencies are described. Emergency action plans will identify emergency situations, such as risk assessments, the likelihood of fires, the probability of explosion from hazardous chemical substances, situations requiring first aid and evacuation, natural disasters and sabotage probabilities, starting from the installation phase for all workplaces. It is prepared by following the revision stages of the contingency plans by taking the many preventive and limiting measures to prevent their adverse effects, determining the teams to be assigned, setting up the intervention to be urgently urgent and establishing the evacuation methods of employees, documentation, exercises and omissions.
