Abstract
Purpose - The aim of
this study was to analyse the officially recorded data of Turkey on
occupational accidents by covering various kinds of data between the years 2003
- 2015. By this study a view is aimed to be taken over Turkey’s behaviour on
occupational health and safety. Methodology – In this study, the statistical yearbook
of the Social Security Institution (SSI) of the Republic of Turkey has been
used as a data source. These data are arranged yearly and the trend is
evaluated.
Findings- The number of occupational accidents had fluctuations
as increases and decreases between the years 2003-2012. After the year 2012,
the number of occupational and fatal accidents had increased more than twice.
The occupational accidents have occurred at the highest rates in the most
populated and industrialized two cities in Turkey. Economic activities having
the highest percentage of occupational accidents has been determined and
interpretated.
Conclusion- Occupational accidents can be reduced by taking
effective and preventive measures. There are some tasks that should be
fulfilled in order to create a secure work place by employers and employees.
Employers should apply occupational health and safety legislation and take
preventative measures and train the employers regularly against work related
accidents. Furthermore, employees should be conscious and careful about the
accidents and fulfill their obligations regarding to work safety while working.
Public institutions should work more on creating a secure work place and
creating a culture of work safety.
