When work accidents are examined in the world and in Turkey, about 88% of the accidents occur in "dangerous action" and 10% occur in "dangerous situation". Studies on safety culture, safety in design, collective or personal protective measures have started in our country, but they have not been brought to sufficient level. In the long term, even if it is reached European standards, accidents related to dangerous actions will not be brought to the adequate level without systematic measures. These systems should be designed to prevent employees from making mistakes or to stop some errors automatically. Studies in occupational health and safety touch sensors, gas sensors, etc. many sensors are used in different industries. However, since the use of second hand machine in our country is too much, sensors are not applied effectively. Large-cost sensors are manufactured at a much more cost-effective cost in today's conditions rather than the past. Quickly developing technology makes it easier for such applications. In addition, this type of use is expected to be widespread with Industry 4.0. In this study, a case study with 5x5 L type matrix method was examined and occupational health and safety assessments were made, and the risk of occupational accidents was reduced by 75% by using sensors in the post-accident risk analysis. Accidents have been minimized through applications in other presses and similar machines over time. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

There isn’t enough progress for work accidents in our country. Also, there is no reliable data for occupational diseases because of insufficient records. When we have checked work accidents, it seems that there have been many accidents about lifting equipments especially in the construction sector. Therefore, the importance of the often used lifting equipments has been revealed. Lift equipments provide increase in productivity, cost reduction and fatigue reduction in staff. On the other hand, injuries, deaths and actually costs were found to be more without taking adequate protection. In this article, we give information about the most commonly used lifting equipments in working life and related health and safety precautions. It also gives information about costs and consequences that may arise from work carried out without safety precautions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
