Estimation of Fatal Risks of Road Construction Workers in Occupational Accidents
Abstract
Millions of people die every year because of fatal work accidents and diseases. When the accident rates of the construction industry in the world are analyzed, it is seen that these rates support the hazard situation of the sector. The construction sector is important for developing countries, but it also has a significant share, especially in fatal work accidents. Risks in the construction sector vary according to the project. Work accidents occurring in road construction have a significant share in the construction sector. In this study, 14910 work accident data in road constructions between 2013-2016 years are examined for Turkey. The parameters affecting the severity of the accident in the sector were determined. A score table was created in which road workers could determine their fatal risk. Thus, the results that contribute to the selection of employees suitable for the job and the adaptation process of the employee were derived.
