Mechanization, which enables the transition from traditional means of production to modern means of production, refers to the industrialization that makes mass production with the effect of bringing more profit and the increasing world population meet their needs. In factories, many people are made to work together and for long working hours. For this reason, working accidents also become inevitable. As a result, the increase of working safety in the field of occupational health and safety on behalf of reducing working risks especially in Germany has developed. Turkey also in this direction under the influence of European Union harmonization law to speed has gained in the scope of work to speed the membership accession process. It is aimed to reveal the results of the legal regulations in the context of preventing work accidents. This descriptive study generally in Turkey and Istanbul in particular the work accidents occurred between 2007 and 2018 as a result of temporary incapacity period, statistical data to be including income and fatal occupational accidents connected to workers or rights holders were examined. Thus, the effects of the Occupational Health and Safety Law (OHS), enacted in 2012, number 6331, on the prevention of occupational accidents were questioned. Finally, from the statistics obtained using secondary data, it is understood that there is no reduction in occupational accidents. It has been concluded that workplace inspection and control should be more frequent with the legal regulation in preventing work accidents. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

From the point of productivity, work safety and human health, thermal ambient conditions are one of the most important factors of manufacturing plants. In this study, steady-state energy balance model is used in the simulation in order to estimate required thermal comfort range for different metabolic activity levels. The results are shown in easily readable graphics. Various machine-workshop operations are considered. Thermal comfort ranges are determined for light, medium and heavy working conditions that have 1.8 met, 2.2 met ve 4.0 met activity levels, respectively. It is concluded that the optimum operative temperature is decreased while metabolic activity levels are increased. In addition, the results showed that at high metabolic activity levels, high thermal ambient air velocities are required. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Management of occupational health and safety activities ale possible with establishing, measuring and monitoring performance indicators Thus, performance indicators need to be tied to policies and strategies developed to prevent workplace accidents and health of workers. Top management should use the PMM system to answer the key questions such as; "Is the existing PMM system beneficial? "Arc PMM indicators improving?" [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Nowadays, within tile manufacturing methods, welding technology becomes one of the most widely used combining methods because of area of usage's width, practicality, cheapness and opening to continuous improvement. Therefore, every passing day number of staff employed in this area is increasing. With increasing the number of personnel in riffs area, institutes of welded manufacturing's lack of in fkasrrucmre, cleanliness and neatness of work place is not to be up to nature of employment cause various health and security risks on the employees Currently in many work place, welding process effeciency is in the foreground, but quality of work and human health is kept in the background. As a result of that an accident in the cnterpfisc both endangers the health of employee and brings to a standstill the production. Each security measures to be taken with this reason is also a measure which is to ensure continuation of production in. ISDEMIR, after the improve the endangering atmosphere for human health and complete welders' deficient training, risks of the welding manufactures arc minimized. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Employers have to take all the necessary care to the ensure the safety of their employees in Turkish legal system. This duty stems from the contract of employment and statutes. Any breach of that duty causes employers responsibility. The responsibility also can be criminal. So an employer that causes a work accident or diseases could be guilty. An employee is injured or dies cause of the work accident or diseases, his employer that did not take all the necessary care is punished by the penal code. The punishments are described imprisonment which consists from three months to two years for injury, from two years to six years for die. But if the injured or died person more then one, the punishment will be increased. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
