Abstract

Madencilik birçok ülke ekonomisi için önemli bir iş ve sanayi koludur.
Maden arama faaliyetleri sonuçlandıkça bu faaliyetlere bağlı olarak çalışmaya
başlayan maden ocaklarında çalışan insanların sayısı gün geçtikçe artmaktadır.
Bugünün çalışma şartlarında, gelişen teknolojiye rağman, iş ve işyeri güvenliği
maden ocakları için hala üzerinde dikkatle durulması gereken konular
arasındadır. Bazı maden işyeri kazaları medya aracılığıyla herkese
duyurulmasada, büyük çaplı maden ocağı kazaları ülke çapında üzüntüye neden
olabilmektedir. Önemli maden kazaları sonucunda görmeye alıştığımız manzara ve
olaylar; organize edilen kurtarma çabaları, medyanın yayınları, maden ocağı
çevresinde umut, kızgınlık, hayal kırıklığı psikolojisi içinde bekleyen kazazede
yakınları ve ülke genelinde duyulan üzüntü şeklinde sıralanabilir. Kurtarma
ekiplerinin maden kazalarındaki sorumluluğu kaza yerine ulaşıp orada mahsur
kalan ve/veya yaralanan kazazedeleri kurtarmaktır. Bu aşamada sorulması gereken
sorulardan birisi; kurtarma ekibi içinde yeralacak görevlilerin hangi düzeyde
“ilk yardım” ve/veya “hayat destek” sağlık bilgileriyle eğitilmeleri
gerektiğidir. Maden ocaklarında kurtarma ekibi faaliyetleri sürerken, bazı ekip
üyeleri, galeri kazısı, göçük kaldırma, havalandırma ve galeri tahkimatı
işleriyle uğraşırken, bazı ekip üyeleri de kaza yerinde sıkışan, göçük altında
kalan, yaralanan kazazedeleri kurtarma işleriyle uğraşacaklardır. Bu işlemleri
yaparken kurtarma ekibi üyeleri kendi hayatlarını tehlikeye sokmamalı ve kendi
psikolojik durumlarını bozmadan kurtarma işlemini sürdürebilmelidirler. Burada,
maden kazaları ele alındığında, uzman doktorların kurtarma ekip üyesi olarak,
kaza mahallinde verebileceği hayat destek servisinin önemi ve ihtiyaç durumu,
maden kazalarında edinilen kurtarma deneyimlerine göre değerlendirilmiştir.

ADVANCED LIFE SUPPORT REQUIREMENTS FOR UNDERGROUND WORKPLACE ACCIDENTS

Abstract

Mining sector is important
business and industrial activity in some countries. When ore explorations are
gradually turned into mine operations, more people will gradually be employed
in the mining industry. Even with today’s mining capacity, work and work place
occupational safety are main concern for related workbodies. Minor scale mine
accidents are not publically announced due to their individual characteristics.
But some others happened in big scale which becomes national dilemma. After the
event, each of them is followed by mine rescue operations, media broadcastings
from the sites, families waiting for their relatives in indescribable hopes,
angers, disappointing physiology. Rescue teams in these occasions have
responsibilities to reach and safe the trapped/injured miners. The question
arose here is what the level of “first-aid” or “life-support” training for some
of the members of rescue teams should be. Some of the rescue team members
should deal with excavations, ventilations, mine supports etc. but some of them
should definitely deal with trapped, injured, collapsed workers without loosing
their own life and physiologic wellness. In this study, importance and
requirements of Advanced Life Support (ALS) services in mine accidents are
evaluated according to experiences to have more realistic and valuable rescue
operations.
