Situation Analysis of Occupational Accidents in Passenger and Freight Transportation Activities at Airports in Turkey

Abstract

Air transport is of great importance in terms of both passenger and freight transport today. The aviation sector, which is growing and developing day by day, has a large share especially in terms of safety and security, occupational health and safety. This study has been prepared for the analysis of occupational accidents and occupational safety issues for both the sector and the employees, in the processes that are carried out meticulously in order to avoid any possibility of mistakes. Studies carried out at airports in Turkey with the code “51 – Air Freight” are grouped under two basic economic activity classifications in the Social Security Institution (SSI) system as “51/1 – Passenger Transportation by Air” and “51/2 – Freight Transportation by Air”. In the study, the situation of work accidents in these transportation activities at the airports in Turkey was analyzed and compared. With the analysis of the sector's occupational accidents data between the years 2013-2021; the number of workplaces, the number of insured personnel, the number of insured people who had a work accident, the period of temporary disability after work accident, the number of deaths after work accident, the number of employees per workplace, the number of work accidents per insured, the temporary incapacity period per work accident and the after-work accident are calculated. Lost working time was calculated. With the obtained data, the situation of occupational accidents in the sector was examined. According to the analysis of the data within certain periods, the passenger and freight transportation activities at the airports in Turkey were evaluated in terms of occupational health and safety.
