Lorsqu'un geste suicidaire est imputé au travail, outre la qualification d'accident du travail, la faute inexcusable de l'employeur, fondée sur son obligation de sécurité, peut être retenue, si celui-ci avait conscience du danger encouru par son subordonné et n'a pas pris les mesures nécessaires pour l'en préserver. Deux points ressortent. D'une part, le risque suicidaire n'est pas toujours prévisible, ce qui amène à une réflexion plus générale sur sa prévention. D'autre part, depuis 2015 et jusqu'à présent, coexistaient deux conceptions de l'obligation de sécurité, nouvelle en droit du travail et, constante, en droit de la sécurité sociale, le contentieux relevant de deux chambres distinctes de la Cour de cassation. Trois arrêts, en date du 8 octobre, rendus par la deuxième chambre civile de la haute juridiction semblent s'orienter vers une harmonisation de la jurisprudence. En conséquence, il convient d'apprécier leur portée, notamment quant aux mesures préventives attendues de l'employeur. When a suicidal act is attributed to work, in addition to the qualification of a work accident, the employer's inexcusable fault, based on his obligation of safety, can be retained if the latter was aware of the danger incurred by his subordinate and did not take the necessary measures to protect him. Two points stand out. On the one hand, the risk of suicide is not always predictable, which leads to a more general thinking on its prevention. On the other hand, since 2015, two conceptions regarding the obligation of security have coexisted, new in labour law and, constant in social security law, with litigation falling under two separate chambers of the High Court. Three judgments from October 8, issued by the second civil chamber of the High Court appear to be moving towards a harmonization of case law. Consequently, their scope should be assessed, in particular regarding the preventive measures expected from the employer. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The patrimonial liability is the most common form of liability, being attracted in case of non-compliance with the legal norms, in order to protect the social values indispensable for the normal functioning of a company. Legal employment relationships are one of the most common areas in which joint and several liability is applied, namely in the case of work accidents resulting in personal injury to employees, which can cause them including permanent disabilities and can be caused by deficiencies in specific equipment used, as well as the lack of effective training in the field of labour protection. Establishing guilt and attracting civil liability is done in relation to the concrete conditions of the accident, the duties of employees according to job descriptions, but also the concrete actions they performed during the program or in connection with work duties. The article presents the applicability of the legal norms in the matter of civil liability to a practical case in which the courts have held joint and several liability of employees and employers in case of accidents at work, referring to the legal conditions to be met, with implications in criminal law.

The purpose of this study is to determine the attitudes of vocational school students who go to hospital application on occupational health and safety. This descriptive study has been performed with 249 students in the Vocational School of a Cappadocia University between 24 September and 30 October 2019. "Question Form" created by the researchers through literature review have been used in the collection of data. Data has been analyzed using descriptive statistics, number, percentage, median, min, max, mean and standard deviation. The mean age of the participants is 20.22 ±21.45 years and 68.5 % (n=168) of them are female. 68.2% (n=167) of the students defined the work accident as "the accident occurred while the insured was at work". 37.8% (n = 91) of the students went to the occupational health and safety unit of the hospital when they had an occupational accident, 24.1% (n = 58) to the head of the unit they worked in the hospital, 20.3% (n = 49) 14.5% (n = 35) of the infection control nurse stated that they reported the internship to the responsible teacher. Although students receive education, they are exposed to occupational accidents and apply to different units when a work accident occurs. The students' knowledge on the definition and scope of occupational accidents is insufficient. Students should be informed more effectively by health institutions about occupational health, risks and unit orientation, and should be supported in the use of personal protective equipment.

The article deals with the issue of performing dependent work according to the conditions of § 317 of the Labour Code which is most often referred to as home office. Because such a designation is not used by law, this article deals with the comparison of the terms that are used for this legal institute and determines the basic criteria for its precise definition. In the following sections, the article deals with the issue of the place of performing dependent work as a basic feature of this institute, and describes and analyzes the limits of its legal adjustment. It focuses on the issue of OHS, accidents at work, remuneration and other situations which are possible limitations in application in practice. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: Workplace safety is a global public health issue. Re-constructing an accident can prove extremely complicated, especially when the event occurs without direct witnesses or when the scene is altered. In these cases, it is essential to adopt proper investigation pro-tocols in order to ensure the correct reconstruction of the dynamics., Case Report: A man was found unconscious on the ground, having fallen from a height of approximately 2 meters, where there was a cabin in which a conveyor belt of raw materials for the production of cement ran. At the end of the path of this belt a scraper was found. An autopsy was carried out and the scraper present at the scene was examined and compared with the injuries on the victim. After the autopsy, the investigators returned to the scene and collected the traces found in the cabin. At the end of collecting the traces, the investigators simulated the dynamics of the event by turning on the conveyor belt and placing a scraper of the same dimensions and characteristics as the one found at the scene inside the cabin., Conclusion: The autopsy showed a maxillofacial trauma with multiple bruises on the face and a serious fracture of the epistropheus tooth. This trauma was therefore incompatible with a simple fall from 2 meters. The investigators created an experimental model that demonstrated a very high energy rebound of the tape when placed in contact with the scraper. This reconstruction made it possible to carry out a single report with the data collected by the medical examiner and the investigators, which was effective and exhaustive, allowing the Authority to be provided with the evidence to continue the investigations about the responsibilities of the worker and the employer.

Objective: To assess the case of work accidents during period (2009–2022) based on work shifts, workers age, and accident types. Method: The study design was a time series design with data on work accidents at the company period 2009–2015 as the population. Results: The variable work shift in 2009–2015 was dominated by work accidents on morning shift and night shift of 0.47%. After a projection, it was found that work accidents occurring during the shift will drop from 0.22% to 0.11%. For the years 2009–2015, accidents were dominated by age group of >50 years with a percentage of 0.52%. In 2022 for that category fell by 0%. For work accidents that occurred in 2009–2015, the most cases were falling from a height with a percentage of 0.76–0.17%. In the next seven years, the projection results obtained the highest results turned into work accident with dangerous substances with a percentage of 0.17% in 2016 and increased to 0.30% in 2022. Conclusions: The trends and predictions from 2016 to 2022 were a decrease in work accidents based on work, a decrease in accidents based on the workers age, and also a decrease on the variable type of accident.

Kecelakaan kerja merupakan suatu kejadian yang tidak terduga saat kapan akan terjadi dengan banyaknya penyebab yang dapat menyebabkan kecelakaan kerja tersebut. Salah satu penyebab terjadinya kecelakaan kerja adalah unsafe action (tindakan kerja tidak aman). Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk melihat hubungan antara faktor unsafe action dengan terjadinya kecelakaan kerja pada pekerja proyek konstruksi. Penelitian ini bersifat deskriptif observasional dengan rancang bangun penelitian yang digunakan adalah cross sectional. Populasi dalam penelitian ini berjumlah 179 responden, namun dilakukan metode sampel secara random sampling dengan (α=0,05) sebanyak 122 responden. Data dikumpulkan melalui kuesioner dan hasil wawancara yang dilakukan. Variable independent yaitu unsafe action (membuang sampah sembarangan, tidak menggunakan APD, melewati batas aman, tidak mematuhi aturan, melewati batas berat angkat beban, duduk di area yag berbahaya, meletakkan barang sembarangan, bekerja sambil bergurau, kurang pengetahuan, emosi tidak stabil, perilaku tidak baik, posisi yang dipaksakan, kurangnya istirahat, pengoperasian alat tanpa izin). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa faktor duduk dan berdiri di area yang berbahaya merupakan faktor yang memiliki risiko bahaya tinggi terjadinya kecelakaan kerja dengan persentase 64,8% dan memiliki adanya hubungan antara faktor berdiri di area yang berbahaya terhadap kecelakaan kerja. Disarankan pada perusahaan untuk terus meminimalisir penyebab terjadinya kecelakaan pada kondisi lingkungan kerja.

INTRODUCTION: The study was conducted to determine the level of awareness and knowledge of occupational health and safety for health discipline students who were admitted to practice at health facilities and to plan and direct training activities to prevent occupational accidents at health facilities. METHODS: The study was descriptive and included 452 health discipline students, aged 18 years and over, who were continuing clinical practice training at 12 health facilities affiliated to the General Secretariat of Istanbul Beyoğlu Region Public Hospitals Association between 23.11.2016 / 23.02.2017. he data were collected using the "Structured Information Form" which was developed under the guidance of literature and composed of 23 questions. RESULTS: It was found that 90.5% of the students (n = 409) were educated about "Occupational Health and Safety" before the clinical practice in the school or the institution they were going to practice, and who were exposed to work accidents at the rate of 80.9% (n = 51) 76,1% (n = 48) of them were students in Nursing department. Of the trainees (n= 409) 12.46% (n = 51) were exposed to work accidents while 27.90% (n = 12) were injured among untrained students (n = 43). DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: As a result, it was found that the occupational accident exposure of the students who received Occupational Health and Safety education was less.

Objective: to describe the perception of quality of life of people who have suffered amputation due to a work accident. Methodology: qualitative research with the application of a 10 open questions semi-structured interview to six workers who had suffered an occupational accident that ended in amputation. The information was collected, analyzed and classified manually in emerging categories. Results: the participants are 34 and 52 years old males from the municipalities of the coffee triangle area and north of the Department of Valle del Cauca. Their marital status is 5 married and 1 separated, their educational level is 2 primary school, 3 secondary school and 1 professional technician. All of them are affiliated to the health system. The body segments amputated are: 3 upper limb amputees and 3 lower limb amputees. Conclusions: their quality of life, according to the central human functional capacities defined by Nussbaum, reflects that after the accident they were affected by the loss of security and self-confidence, preventing social activities. Their current condition limits them from improving their income due to their disabling condition. Chronic pain and prosthetic maladjustment are common, as well as the use of accessories and the difficulties to move. The strengthening of the primary family support network is evident but, at the end of their rehabilitation, there is a lack of interest in social activities. Participants have concrete future projects that involve their family. Finally, their rehabilitation process was limited to the basics and they did not have any other type of support.

Amputation is the intentional removal, by surgery, of a limb segment or part of the body. By increasing the degree of urbanization and automation around the world, accidents are the most important cause of morbidity and mortality. Lower limb amputation is a life-changing event and has an impact on functional, work, social and recreational activities. Amputation can lead people to lose self-esteem, independence and work. Quality of life it is as a wide range of human experiences related to one's general well-being. For the specific psychosocial and functional testing of people who have undergone an amputation TAPES is more frequently used. The study included 7 patients with amputation of lower limbs, prostheses, who underwent unilateral or bilateral amputation of traumatic genesis at work. Patients filled in the Trinity Amputation and Prosthesis Experience questionnaire in order to estimate quality of life and Rosenberg scale to assess self-esteem. The adaptation to wearing the prosthesis is reported by 71.42% and more than 50% of the subjects are satisfied with their prosthesis. The factors with the greatest impact on functional abilities proved to be: the level of amputation, the duration of living with the amputation limb, the presence of other pathologies and psycho-emotional status. Medical rehabilitation programs improve the functional and psycho-emotional abilities of patients with lower limb amputations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Les médecins sont de plus en plus confrontés à des demandes de certificats médicaux de la part de patients victimes de situation de harcèlement ou parfois à la demande des autorités sur réquisition. Le harcèlement est un phénomène complexe, couvrant un large éventail de comportements et de situations. La rédaction de ces certificats médicaux est difficile, et source régulière de poursuites, notamment disciplinaires à l'encontre de médecins qui ont parfois pu manquer de précaution dans leurs écritures. Cette rédaction est d'autant plus complexe que la qualification des faits nécessite parfois une évaluation du retentissement sur la victime sous la forme d'une durée d'incapacité totale de travail, mais pas dans toutes les formes d'harcèlement reconnues en droit français. Dans cet article, nous proposons d'aborder quelques notions générales concernant la rédaction du certificat, la notion d'Incapacité Totale de Travail (ITT), puis de réaliser une revue systématique des différentes évolutions du droit pénal, du droit du travail, et de la jurisprudence à l'aune des situations de harcèlement les plus courantes. Enfin, nous proposons d'aborder la question de l'évaluation des victimes dans ce contexte, notamment au regard de l'évaluation de l'ITT, qui ne nous apparaît pas être un outil adéquat à l'évaluation de ce type de violences, eu égard à leur caractère répétitif et souvent ancien. Medical doctors are often asked by patients victim of harassment, or even by the authorities, to establish medical certificate. Harassment is a complex phenomenon, covering a wide range of behaviours occurring in multiple situations. The writing of such a certificate can prove to be difficult, can be a cause of legal proceedings for clinicians, especially at a disciplinary level. Moreover, the evaluation is all the more complex since the qualification of harassment by the judge sometimes requires an evaluation of the impact on the victims under the form of a Total Work Incapacity (TWI) duration, but not under all the circumstances existing in French law. In this article, we first propose to address general consideration towards the writing of the certificate, before doing a systematic review of the successive evolutions of French penal and labour law regarding harassment in its most frequent forms. Finally, we propose to address the matter of victims evaluation, especially towards TWI duration evaluation, which does not seem to us an adapted tool regarding the fact that harassment is usually a chronical and durable phenomenon.

Objective: The work accidents are one of the biggest issues of today’s occupational lives regarding the human losts and economical losts. The humanity lost of this daily issue is pretty huge. Material and Method: At this study, it is aimed to compare the EU’s work accidents resulted with death and SSI Statistical Yearbook datas standardized number of the workers with insurances according to their work accidents, occupational diseases, and death rates from different occupational branches. Results: At the data which are achieved by indirect standardization method of SSI 2008-2017 Statistical Yearbook, it is seen that the mining industry is leading regarding work accidents, occupational diseases and death rates. Although the highest standardization rate belonged to “Activities of Domestic Employees’’ in 2008, between 2009-2017 years, the “Mining coal and lignite’’ placed always at the first place. Regarding the occupatinal disease standardization between 2008-2017 the “Mining coal and lignite’’ and “Metal mining’’ industries are placed at the top. Conclusion: It is expected to increase the feed back quantity by applying 6331th Occupational Health and Security law in the future. Hence, with the state occupational accidental feedbacks, rates would change and corrective considerations would be more efficient. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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]

Research Background: Occupational health and safety (OHS) is an effort to create a working atmosphere that is safe, comfortable, and the ultimate goal is to create the highest productivity. The higher level of production in the coal industry will be in line with the dangers and risks of work accidents in the coal industry. Occupational accidents are influenced by 2 (two) direct causes namely unsafe action (unsafe action) and dangerous condition (hazardous condition) Research Methodology: The research design used in this study is observational analytic with the cross-sectional approach with a large sample of 80 respondents who in the South Borneo coal industry. Data analysis used the statistical test Chi-Square (α = 0.05). Result: From the results of the bivariable significance test using the Chi-Square test showed that the significant value of age (p= 0.604), years of service (p= 0.544), level of education (p = 0.578) > 0.05. Discussion: There is no significant relationship between the variables of age, years of service, education level with work accidents in the South Borneo coal industry. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Sugar factory labor was highly vulnerable to get work accident in work place. The objective of this research was to identify the relation between working period and knowledge level to the prevention of work accident through variable of work stress on mill and kettle workers. This research was quantitative in analytical observational method and cross sectional design. Total sample of research were 115 workers in the sugar mill and kettle at sugar factory of Rejo Agung Baru Madiun through total sampling. The research data was tested in SEM (Structural Equation Model) method by exerting instrument of Stata 13 to analyze the data. Based on the finding of research, on the sig value of working period 0.006 and sig value of knowledge level 0.023, it referred the relation in variable of working period through work stress, while no relation in variable of knowledge level through work stress to the prevention of work accident. Thus, it required to more stimulation to the knowledge level and more support to the workers in order to minimize their work stress. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The perception of risk is associated with the occurrence of occupational accidents. For health companies it is fundamental to know this phenomenon, thus favoring the implementation of coping and prevention strategies, which contribute to the reduction of work accidentality. Objective: To analyze the perception of biological risk and the associated factors with occupational accidents through the ORPE (Occupational Risk Perception Evaluation) method and the RISKPERCEP software of the employees of a hospital in Antioquia, Colombia, in 2019. Methodology: Cross-sectional explanatory study that used the ORPE methodology and the RISKPERCEP software through a structured survey of all the workers (N=50) of the institution. Statistical information was analyzed with SPSSv24 software. Results: An underestimation profile of occupational biological risk is found in the different areas of the institution. Factors such as time developing the same activity and perception of the state of health are associated with work accidentality. Conclusion: Workers with more experience and exposure to occupational biological risk underestimate the risk. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Risk assessment is an essential component of the occupational health and safety event prevention activity. The purpose of this study is to choose the most appropriate risk assessment method for hospitals. The main methods were compared. There are many assessment methods, each with its advantages and disadvantages, but none has been adapted to the specificities of hospital activity. We adapted the workplace assessment sheet from the INCDPM (National Research and Development Institute for Labor Protection Bucharest) method to the specific of the hospital units and used this method at the level of jobs, within the hospital's departments, calculating the global risk level per job position, workplace (department), and hospital. The clinical departments global risk level exceeds the average (3.00) for all jobs, but does not exceed, however, 3.50, representing an acceptable security level. For assess the psychosocial risks we used the ELVIE method. Looking ahead, the methods should be adapted to allow both numerical presentation of the results and graphic. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Lean Manufacturing tools were originally developed to improve manufacturing production systems and enhance productivity and quality in organizations. For this reason, they are used more frequently in manufacturing than in service companies. The Ergo-Lean approach applies Lean Manufacturing to the field of Occupational Safety and Health, focusing on reducing activities that do not add value and on reducing the associated muscular-skeletal disorders. The purpose of this study is to integrate Lean Manufacturing tools in risk management to help control work-related accidents. Based on work accident data at a service company, the causes of the accidents were analyzed and the main Lean Manufacturing tools were reviewed and integrated, in order to develop a new methodology for the implementation of these tools to help prevent work-related accidents and diseases and to develop a culture of self-care.

Toute personne exerçant son activité professionnelle en milieu extérieur peut développer une hypersensibilité IgE médiée aux hyménoptères sur le lieu ou pendant la durée du travail. La prévalence de l'anaphylaxie et de la mortalité professionnelles liées aux piqûres d'hyménoptères semble peu élevée mais est néanmoins difficile à évaluer et probablement sous-estimée. Certaines professions sont admises comme facteurs de risque mais les mesures préventives restent difficiles à mettre en place. Par ailleurs l'impact de l'allergie aux venins d'hyménoptères sur la vie professionnelle est réel qu'il concerne la contrainte de l'immunothérapie, la capacité de travail voire même la survenue d'un stress post-traumatique. Sa reconnaissance en accident de travail, maladie professionnelle, inaptitude au poste de travail et incapacité de travail peut permettre dans certains cas d'en limiter les conséquences sociales pour les patients. Anyone exercising their professional activity in an outdoor environment can develop IgE hypersensitivity to Hymenoptera venom at the place of work, or during the working hours. The prevalence of professional anaphylaxis and mortality associated with Hymenoptera bites appears to be low, but is nevertheless difficult to assess and probably underestimated. Some professions are accepted as risk factors, but preventive measures remain difficult to put in place. Moreover, the impact of an allergy to hymenoptera venoms on professional life is real, and involves the constraint of immunotherapy, work capacity and even the occurrence of post-traumatic stress. Its recognition as a work accident, occupational disease, unfitness for work and incapacity for work may limit the social consequences for patients. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The SARS-CoV-2 Coronavirus has important effects on the workplace, since it modifies the labor relations system and, in turn, the way work is organized. The objective of the investigation, on the one hand, is to determine if the infection by SARS-CoV-2 could be considered an occupational disease or an accident at work, when workers are exposed by their work activity to contagion with this coronavirus, even if the occupational health and safety standards are met. And, on the other hand, determine the responsibility of the employer before the contagion of COVID-19 of its workers, scenarios and administrative and procedural responses, along with the possibility of claims or lawsuits. It is a legal investigation, of a documentary nature, with a bibliographic design. It is concluded that in Venezuela the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus disease could be considered as labor, since article 70 of the Organic Law of Prevention, Conditions and Work Environment (LOPCYMAT), defines occupational disease and establishes the possibility of expanding the list of occupational diseases and in the current pandemic situation, they would have this consideration of the infections that occurred in the provision of the service.

The most common occupational health and safety problem in scaffolding is falling from a height which is an occupational accident. The works carried out in the facade scaffold specify the requirements such as use at height and the national and international standards sought in the facade scaffold. The place where the highest drop is experienced is the facade scaffoldings. Employers should ensure that their employees are provided with personal protective equipment. They should also ensure that employees are aware of occupational health and safety and are trained in the use of scaffolding. Measures should be taken at each stage in the context of different occupational health and safety. The facade scaffolds vary according to the usage patterns on the façade but also according to their materials. It is important to choose the scaffold in the right material for proper use. The floods are categorized according to the usage stages. Facade scaffolding must be constructed and used according to the standards according to size and load classes. Although the standard facade scaffolds seem to be costly, they do not have any difficulties during the installation phase and the scaffolding is one of the best advantages. In order to prevent accidents in this type of scaffold use, it is necessary to activate occupational health and safety. Hazard evaluations are identified by the reasons why hazards can be identified and which work accidents may occur and it should be tried to prevent obstacles by ensuring that the most appropriate precautions against all of them are taken against all occupational diseases. Employers should pay attention to their health and safety in their employees as much as they should be paying attention. There is a label application on the facade scaffolding of the residential buildings. The label application itself is divided into green, yellow and red. If the use of scotch with a red label is not safe at all, those with a yellow label are required to work on the pier using personal protective equipment. In the case of a green labeled scaffold, it is a fully safe scaffold for compliance with standards and employees are not required to wear belts. Current practices should be searched for adequacy in tests and experiments and in the application of the standard requirements established in the Regulations and Standards. The risk assessment of the facade scaffolding in the construction of the residential building we have researched belongs to the Fine-Kinney method. Risks can be sorted clearly and assessed for validity of the measures taken. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Informal workers that might have a work accident and require access to the benefits offered by the system must overcome the barriers identified during two moments. The first one is determined by the process of voluntary affiliation to the system given that the requirements are not thought from the reality of this kind of worker. The second moment presents itself when the informal worker is affiliated under the wrong figure. If an accident takes place the difficulty would reside in demonstrating the causal nexus of the harmful fact with the work activity, since the ambiguous definition of a work accident given by the 1562 Law of 2012 links the work accident with a subordinate relation. From the judicial reflection point of view is that the intention of making evident the difficulties faced by the informal workers for voluntarily affiliating comes from, as well as revealing the barriers for accessing the welfare and economic benefits in case of a work accident.

Objective Evaluation of patients with corneal injury camed to emergency service in our hospital. Material and Methods Patients who were admitted with eyeball injury in 2018 were evaluated according to age, gender, educational status, presence of work accidents, corneal injury ratings, associated corneal foreign bodies, lens and iris damage, whether or not intraocular foreign bodies were accompanied. Results In 2018, 57 eyes of 57 patients who were admitted with corneal injury and whose mean age was 33,8±12,9 (12-56) were evaluated. Four of the patients (%7) were female and 53 (%92,9) were male. Three patients were under 18, 4 were university graduates, 42 were high school and graduates, 3 were middle school graduates and 5 were primary school graduates. There were 3 (%5,2) adhesive substances, 3 (%5,2) alkaline substance, 6 (%10,5) epithelial defect, 43 (%75,4) corneal foreign body and 2 (%3,5) with corneal injury with intra-vitreous foreign body. Patients with alkaloid substance 2 (%66) housewife cleaning and 1 (%33) cleaning staff. Individuals who were cleaning in the workplace one patient was male (25%) and the other 3 patients were female. (75%). Of the 6 patients presenting with epithelial defect 5 were adult, 2 of them were female, and 1 was child. The two women with epithelial defects coz of the child's finger rubbed to the cornea.

Objective: To contribute to the national data on the subject by analyzing WA-related ED admissions during a 1-year period in our center. Method: Cases admitted to our hospital due to a WA during a 1-year period were enrolled in the study. Information regarding gender, age, accident date, injury mechanism, injured body parts, consultations, diagnoses, severity of the injury, outcome of the patient and the services which the admitted patients were admitted to were gathered. p =.05 was considered to be significant. Results: Three hundred and eighty patients were enrolled in the study. A great majority of the victims (88.4%) were male. Mean age of the cases was 34.88±9.74 years. The month with the highest number of admissions was June (11.1%). WA victims mostly presented during day-time period (54.7%). Contact with sharp objects was the most common injury mechanism (34.2%). More than one third of the cases were consulted with at least one department (34.2%). Upper extremities were the most commonly injured body parts (51.3%). The most common diagnosis was mild soft tissue injury (40.0%). Most of the cases (86.6%) were discharged from the emergency department; 12.6% were admitted to our hospital; .8% were referred to another health care facility, and none of the patients died in the emergency department. Conclusions: WAs mostly affect young male workers; most of the WAs occur during day-time period; WAs mostly occur as a result of contact with sharp objects; mostly upper extremities are affected in which hands are the most commonly injured part, and hand fingers form the part which has the highest possibility of injury. Amaç: Merkezimize 1 yıllık dönemde başvuran iş kazası ilişkili olguları analiz ederek konu hakkındaki ulusal verilere katkıda bulunmak. Yöntem: Hastanemize 1 yıllık dönemde iş kazası sonucu başvuran olgular çalışmaya dahil edildi. Cinsiyet, yaş, kaza tarihi, yaralanma mekanizması, yaralanan vücut bölgesi, konsültasyonlar, tanılar, yaralanmanın ciddiyeti, hastanın akıbeti ve yatış yapılan hastaların hangi servislere yatırıldığı ile ilgili bilgiler toplanıp kaydedildi. İstatistiksel analizlerde Windows için Sosyal Bilimler İstatistik Paketi (SPSS) programı kullanıldı. p =0,05 anlamlı kabul edildi. Bulgular: Çalışmaya 380 hasta dahil edildi. Kurbanların büyük çoğunluğu (%88,4), erkekti. Olguların yaş ortlaması, 34,88±9,74 yıldı. En çok olgunun görüldüğü ay, Haziran'dı (%11,1). İş kazası kurbanları çoğunlukla gündüz başvurmuştu (%54,7). En sık yaralanma mekanizması, keskin cisimle temastı (%34,2). Olguların üçte birinden fazlası en az bir bölüme konsülte edilmişti (%34,2). Üst ekstremiteler, en çok yaralanan vücut parçasıydı ve iş kazası başvurularının çoğu üst ekstremite yaralanması nedeniyle gerçekleşmişti (%51,3). En sık tanı, hafif yumuşak doku yaralanmasıydı (%40,0). Olguların çoğu acil servisten taburcu edilmişti (%86,6); %12,6'sı hastanemize yatırılmış; %0,8'i başka bir merkeze sevk edilmişti. Acil serviste hayatını kaybeden olgu yoktu. Sonuç: Çalışmamızda elde edilen bulgulara göre iş kazaları çoğunlukla genç erkek çalışanları etkiler. İş kazalarının çoğu gündüz meydana gelir ve çoğunluğundan keskin cisimle temas, sorumludur. Çoğunlukla üst ekstremite ve en sık da eller etkilenir; ellerin yaralanma açısından en yüksek risk altındaki bölümü parmaklardır. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Today, construction industry is one of the main industries that the rate of occupational accidents is high. Taking the significant contributions of the construction industry as a laborintensive industry to the development and economy of the country into consideration, averting occupational accidents taking place and the damages they bring to the society becomes a crucial issue. There are many studies that focus on the causes of such occupational accidents, and it can be seen that various methods have been employed in such studies. In the first stage of this study, it is aimed that the causes of occupational accidents are analyzed through the method of multi-criteria decision-making method. The causes of occupational accidents are taken under review in terms of 3 main criteria and 14 sub-criteria, and each criterion identified is weighted. Fuzzy AHP method is employed to determine the weights of the criteria. When expert opinions are taken into account, it is estimated that the criterion with the highest weight value is "insufficient inspection of machine and vehicle gears". In the second stage, in line with the sub-criteria identified, three construction companies, which have been chosen by taking their status in the relevant industry into consideration, are evaluated with Fuzzy TOPSIS. As a result of the evaluation, when these three construction companies are ranked, it is revealed that the construction company taking a significant place in the industry ranks first, and acts responsibly towards occupational health and safety.
