INVESTIGATION OF OCCUPATIONAL ACCIDENTS IN CONTAINER TERMINALS BY FUZZY DEMATEL ANS TOPSIS METHODS: AN APPLICATION IN KOCAELI PORT AREA

Öz

In international trade, maritime transportation is more advantageous than other transportation types. Container shipping which is most preferred in maritime transportation, ensures that large quantities of cargo can be transported reliably and quickly. Container terminals are the interface between road, rail and sea, where the cargo is transported by containers, and they contain many risks together. Therefore, it is an important issue to carry occupational health and safety management systems to the work area in order to prevent work accidents and injuries. In this study, the aim of the thesis is to determine the causes of occupational accidents in container terminals and to determine the measures that can be taken to prevent occupational accidents. In this study, the causes of occupational accidents in container terminals were evaluated as criteria and sub-criteria and analyzed with the “Fuzzy DEMATEL” method. Then, in order to prevent occupational accidents in container terminals, some alternatives were analyzed with the TOPSIS method and ranked according to their significance. As a result of the analyzes, it has been determined that among the causes of occupational accidents in container terminals, "management practices" is the most important cause of occupational accidents. Among the alternative measures, "increasing the effectiveness of occupational health and safety inspections" was determined as the most ideal solution.

KONTEYNER TERMİNALLERİNDEKİ İŞ KAZALARININ BULANIK DEMATEL VE TOPSIS YÖNTEMLERİ İLE İNCELENMESİ: KOCAELİ LİMAN BÖLGESİNDE BİR UYGULAMA

Öz

Uluslararası ticarette denizyolu taşımacılığı diğer taşımacılık türlerine göre birçok avantaja sahiptir. Denizyolu taşımacılığında en çok tercih edilen konteyner taşımacılığı, aynı anda büyük miktarlarda yüklerin güvenilir ve hızlı bir şekilde taşınabilmesini sağladığı için konteyner terminallerindeki gemi ve yük trafiği yoğun olmaktadır. Konteyner terminalleri, yükün konteynerler aracılığıyla taşındığı karayolu, demiryolu ve denizyolu arasındaki ara yüzdür ve bünyesinde birçok riski bir arada bulundurmaktadır. Dolayısıyla iş kazalarını ve yaralanmaları önleyebilmek adına iş sağlığı ve güvenliği yönetim sistemlerinin çalışma alanına taşınması önemli bir husustur. Bu kapsamda bu çalışmanın amacı, konteyner terminallerinde yaşanan iş kazalarının nedenlerinin belirlenmesi ve iş kazalarının önlenmesine yönelik alınabilecek önlemlerin tespit edilmesidir. Bu çalışmada, konteyner terminallerinde yaşanan iş kazaları nedenleri kriterler ve alt kriterler olarak değerlendirilmiş ve bulanık DEMATEL yöntemi ile analiz edilmiştir. Ardından konteyner terminallerinde yaşanan iş kazalarını önleyebilmek adına belirlenmiş alternatifler TOPSIS yöntemi ile analiz edilerek önem derecesine göre sıralanmıştır. Yapılan analizlerin sonucunda, konteyner terminallerinde yaşanan iş kazalarının nedenleri arasında “yönetim uygulamaları kaynaklı” iş kazalarının ilk sırada geldiği tespit edilmiştir. Alternatif önlemlerin sıralamasında ise “iş sağlığı ve güvenliği denetimlerinin etkinliğinin arttırılması” en ideal çözüm olarak belirlenmiştir.
