There are many studies aiming to reveal the reasons of
workplace accidents. According to these studies, workplace accidents occur due
to a number of reasons. It is known that workplace accidents generally occur
due to the industrialization way of countries, business models, insufficiency
of accident statistics and investigations, lack of inspection services,
qualities of employees and lack of occupational safety consciousness. The
reasons of workplace accidents may show both general and national-specific properties.
Business enterprises in our country are generally small and medium scaled
enterprises and the lack of occupational safety organization, training and
inspection increases workplace accidents. Today, professional ethics, ethical
values, occupational health and safety at workplaces are the most important
factors in terms of today’s sense of business. Besides, the development of a
country depends on the protection and efficient use of man power, natural
resources, all kinds of machines-equipments and technical man power. As a
matter of fact, evaluating the data of the answers given by business employees
in this questionnaire; majority of participants stated that occupational health
and safety applications at workplaces had a positive effect upon the productivity
and quality of workplaces and forming a social perception on this issue would
be useful for future employees; however, the inspections remained insufficient.
