A NEW APPROACH ON OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY: FINANCIAL STATE SUPPORT FOR EMPLOYER

Abstract

Purpose- Thanks to the Law on Occupational Health and Safety No.6331, which came into force on 30.06.2012, it has become compulsory to employ occupational safety professionals and health professionals in the workplaces in order to carry out the services of occupational health and safety. Within this framework, the purpose of this study is to analyse the principles of financial State support designed for the purpose of refunding from the Social Security Institution (SSI) budget some amount of the money that was paid by employers for the services of occupational health and safety to the employers of the private enterprises which are classified as very dangerous and dangerous and which have workers less than 10 people.

Methodology- We conducted our research by making use of existing literature, and we also examined the financial support provided for employers in terms of legal aspects by considering regulations and notices.

Findings- It was observed that the financial support in question did not become widespread. The reasons for this can be listed as: (i) the bulk of unregistered employers, (ii) the amount of financial support’s being lower, and (iii) the employers’ not having enough information regarding the issue.  

Conclusion- In order to make the financial support in question, it is necessary to (i) increase the amount of the so-called financial support, (ii) terminate the authorized Community Health Center (CHCs) responsibilities for providing occupational health and safety services, and (iii) eliminate the contradiction between the Law numbered 6331 and by-laws in determining the companies that will benefit from the support.
