Occupational accidents occur in many sectors in Türkiye every year. In this study, which aims to evaluate occupational accidents occurring in the oil sector, accident estimation was made using artificial neural networks. Data on 2210 work accidents that occurred between 2020 and 2023 in a company operating in the oil sector were used. In this study; Artificial neural network modeling was done with monthly accident data. In the study, Multilayer Perceptron Artificial Neural Networks (MLPANN) and Radial Basis Function Artificial Neural Networks (RBFANN), which are feed-forward networks, were used. 70% of the data is divided as training data and 30% as test data. As a result of the analysis; An 84.1% correct classification rate was obtained with the MLPANN method, and an 86.4% correct classification rate was obtained with the RBFANN method. It can be said that the RBFANN method performs more successfully than the MLPANN method. lt is suggested to use the methods in order to estimate the occupational accidents . [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

It is important to determine the attitudes of employees towards occupational accidents and diseases and whether these events are perceived as inevitable or out of control. Inaccurate interpretation of the perception of fatalism towards occupational accidents and diseases may lead to more occupational accidents and diseases. The use of scales to determine the perception of fatalism in the context of occupational accidents and diseases allows for a quantitative assessment of these issues. This approach makes it possible to objectively measure and analyze the perception of fatalism, thus paving the way for a more in-depth examination of related phenomena. This study is a scale development study to determine the level of fatalism towards occupational accidents and diseases. This methodological study was conducted between October 2021 and June 2023. The scale was shaped by taking expert opinions for the scale items prepared by making use of the literature, pre-applied and pilot applied with 75 people; Exploratory Factor Analysis and Confirmatory Factor Analysis were conducted with 242 people; and all evaluated with validity and reliability analyzes. In the exploratory factor analysis for the developed scale of fatalism towards occupational accidents and diseases, it was seen that the scale items were gathered under 4 factors and the explanatory coefficient was 53.68%. In order to measure the applicability of exploratory factor analysis for the scale, KMO value was 0.854 and Bartlett's Test of Sphericity value was χ2=1996.527; df=153, p<.05. Confirmatory Factor Analysis of the scale was also significant (X²/df= 2.044, RMSEA=.066, AGFI=.858, IFI=.931, TLI=.916, GFI=.894, and CFI=.930). Considering the fit indices, it was concluded that the fit indices of the scale were between good fit and acceptable fit index values. According to Cranbach Alpha value, the internal consistency coefficient of the scale was 0.81. The scale developed to determine the level of fatalism towards occupational accidents and diseases has a high validity and reliability. Consisting of 18 items, the scale is a 5-point Likert-type scale and consists of 4 sub-dimensions. The highest score that the respondent can get is 90 and the lowest score is 18. This scale will contribute to the determination of fatalistic perceptions about sudden occupational accidents in the workplace or work-related diseases caused by the nature of the work or its environment risk factor.

Turkish manufacturing industry is in the top three in terms of occupational accident frequency among sectors. Therefore, there is a need to determine accident cause-effect relationships in order to improve occupational safety and minimize the risks that cause occupational accidents in the manufacturing industry. An integreated data driven approach is proposed to find patterns among occupational accidents in Turkish manufacturing systems. The proposed approach uses multinomial logit model (MLM) and decision tree algorithms, namely C5.0, Classification and Regression Trees (C&RT), The quaternion estimation (QUEST), Chi-square automatic interaction detector (CHAID) ve Random Trees. In this study, 307,590 occupational accidents in the Turkish manufacturing industry between 2013 and 2019 are used. It is found that there is a statistically significant relationship among division, geographical location of the accident, year, deviation, hour day, gender and age for all accidents with injury, death and loss of limb according to the absence of disability. Additionally, division, geographical location of the accident and year are among the top five predictors based on decision tree algorithms. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction: Forensic cases are a significant problem in our country as in all over the world. This study aimed to examine the demographic characteristics, prognosis and related factors of forensic cases. Methods: A total of 46,732 patients aged 0-97 years who presented to our hospital due to forensic events were enrolled in the study. Patients’ demographics such as age and gender, the reason for admission, the time of admission, the clinics the patients were admitted to, the prognosis of the patients in the emergency department (ED) or in the clinics they were hospitalized were recorded. Patient information was obtained from ED patient records, hospital information management system and forensic reports, retrospectively. Results: The mean age of the 46,732 patients was 31.77±16.68 years. Mortality occurred in 246 (0.5%) patients. The admissions were higher in July and August compared to other months. The most frequent presentations were in the evening hours. The cases between the ages of 20-29 were much higher than other age groups. The most common type of forensic cases was traffic accidents in 23,177 (49.6%) patients followed by assault in 8,521 (18.2%) patients, occupational accidents in 5,680 (12.2%), and 5,576 (11.9%) drug intoxication. Conclusion: Traffic accidents take the first place in order of frequency in forensic incidents, which are observed 2.08 times more in men than in women. There is a need for further similar studies in order to develop standards, protocols and policies in prevention and management of forensic cases. Keywords: Forensic cases, traffic accidents, occupational accidents, emergency department, poisoning

Occupational health and safety now has an important place today as a concept that surrounds and shapes business and working life. Since the industrial revolution, many studies have been carried out and legislations have been prepared on Occupational Health and Safety in the world and in Turkey. Although these studies were prepared to protect employees against occupational diseases and occupational accidents, they were often insufficient and not effective, and as a result, many work accidents and occupational diseases occurred and continue to occur. Unfortunately, in our country, occupational diseases and work accidents, which occur as a result of insufficient studies on occupational health and safety, still continue to be an important problem. When we look at the statistical data of the number of people who lost their lives due to work accidents and occupational diseases, we see that it reaches very serious numbers every year. The most important development made by governments in recent years on this issue is the reorganization of the occupational health and safety law and its update with Law No. 6331. Occupational Health and Safety Law No. 6331, which was created with a very detailed legislation, brought important responsibilities to the employer, but it was not possible to prevent occupational diseases and work accidents by changing the laws and regulations. The important thing is to impose on occupational health and safety profession employees and trainers that inspections should be carried out frequently within the framework of the current law and laws, and that no one should be given any concessions in this regard. I will examine the historical perspective and practices of urban transformation and the place and importance of occupational health and safety from planning to implementation of urban transformation today. I also defend the view that urban transformation is as important as occupational health and safety in urban transformation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Occupational accidents in the construction industry occur more frequently when compared with other industries. Construction occupational accidents still have not been prevented at the desired level. Several studies in the literature have been conducted to predict the occurrence frequency of these accidents using classical statistical and machine-learning techniques. However, some challenges regarding imbalanced and multicollinearity problems present in the dataset are not considered while analyzing data with a large size and a large number of categorical variables. This study aims to predict the severity of nonfatal construction accidents considering mentioned challenges to obtain more accurate results. In this study, standard binary logistic regression, Firth, Ridge, Lasso, and Elastic Net Regularized logistic regression models were used for the prediction of lost workdays in the construction industry and results were compared. The data used were classified into five groups: victim, workplace, accident time, accident and sequence of events, and postaccident state-related variables. The results showed that Firth's logistic model is the best-performing model and age, education, vocational education, workplace size, project type, working environment, accident month and year, general and specific activities, material agent, type of injury, and part of body injured are the most significant variables. This study, by providing interpretable machine learning tools, is the first attempt to use proposed models in the area of construction safety in the literature. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Çalışanların bedensel ve ruhsal sağlıklarının korunduğu bir ortamda iş görmeleri hem bireysel hem de toplum yararına hizmet etmektedir. İş sağlığı ve güvenliği açısından risk düzeyi, faaliyette bulunulan sektöre göre farklılık arz etmektedir. Sektörlerin risk düzeylerinin saptanması, ortaya çıkabilecek olumsuz durumları minimize etmeye yardımcı olacaktır. Bu amaçla araştırmada iş kazaları ve meslek hastalıklarını temsil eden 7 kriter belirlenmiş, ekonomik faaliyet sınıflamasında yer alan 88 sektör ise alternatif seti olarak ele alınmıştır. Analizlerde, Sosyal Güvenlik Kurumunun yayımladığı 2020 yılı istatistikleri kullanılmıştır. Gri İlişkisel Analiz (GRA) yöntemiyle öncelikle kriterlerin eşit öneme sahip olduğu varsayılarak bir sıralama elde edilmiştir. Ardından kriter ağırlıklarının objektif olarak belirlendiği CRITIC yöntemiyle Gri ilişkisel analiz yöntemi birlikte kullanılarak yeni bir sıralama yapılmıştır. Her iki durumda da iş sağlığı ve güvenliği açısından en riskli sektörün bina inşaat olduğu, ikinci ve üçüncü sıralarda ise fabrikasyon metal ürünleri imalatı ve insan sağlığı hizmetleri olduğu saptanmıştır. Risk seviyesinin en düşük olduğu sektörler ise uluslararası örgütler ve temsilcilik faaliyetleri ile hane halkları tarafından kendi kullanımlarına yönelik olarak üretilen ayrım yapılmamış mal ve hizmetler olarak belirlenmiştir.

The construction sector is one of the those with the highest number of occupational accidents. There are problems in the implementation of legal regulations on occupational health and safety in the sector. In this study, the questionnaire answered by the construction workers in 2013, was repeated in 2018. Considering the data obtained from studies and legal regulations, the survey results from the questionnaire of in 2013 and 2018 are compared. The results of the comparison indicate the change in the five-year period between 2013 and 2018. The results are examined for the level of compliance of the construction workers with the legal regulations on occupational health and safety. According to this study, some improvements has been achieved in this five-year period at occupational health and safety legislation in construction sector in Turkey.

Amaç: Bu çalışmada, bir eğitim ve araştırma hastanesi çalışan sağlığı biriminde değerlendirilen sağlık çalışanlarının, genel sağlık durumlarının incelenmesi, bazı sosyodemografik özelliklere göre yakınma ve kronik hastalık sıklıklarının hesaplanması, iş kazası sıklığı ve özelliklerinin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Epidemiyolojik tanımlayıcı tipteki bu araştırmada, 2017 yılında, Sakarya Üniversitesi Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesi çalışan sağlığı biriminde değerlendirilen sağlık personeline ait, çalışan sağlığı bilgi formları incelemeye alınmıştır. Çalışma analizine 549 kişi dâhil edilip, SPSS (20.0) paket programı kullanılarak veri tabanı oluşturulmuş ve istatistiksel anlamlılık p lt;0,05 kabul edilmiştir. Bulgular: Katılımcıların %78,7’si kadın, yaş ortalaması 34,74 ± 8,67 SS, %71,9’u ebe ve hemşiredir. Katılımcıların %36,7’si en az bir kronik hastalık beyan etmiştir. En sık semptom %27,2’lik oranla eklem ağrısı olurken, ardından %19,6 ile sırt ağrısı gelmiştir. Ayrıca alerji (ilaç, lateks, diğer) sıklığının %23,2 olduğu ve çalışanların %7,1’inin meslek hayatları boyunca en az bir kez iş kazası geçirdiği saptanmıştır. Sonuç: Sağlık çalışanlarında, hastanelerdeki artmış tehlike ve risk etmenlerinin yanı sıra yaptıkları işin de etkisiyle, özellikle kas iskelet sistemi hastalıkları, kesici-delici alet yaralanmaları, deri hastalıkları ve solunum sistemi hastalıkları sıklıkla izlenmektedir. Ancak yine de iş kazası görülme sıklığının beklenenden düşük olması nedeniyle, çalışan sağlığı bilgi formuna sağlık alanında sık görülen iş kazası tipleri eklenebilir. Katılımcıların şiddeti iş kazası olarak belirtmediği görüldüğünden, çalışanların tehdit, fiziksel, sözel vb. şiddete uğrayıp uğramadıkları sorgulanabilir. Farklı sağlık meslek gruplarında olmanın ve hastanenin farklı bölümlerinde çalışmanın, kendilerine özgü riskleri olacağından bunlara özel sorgulama formları oluşturulabilir.

Dünyada ve ülkemizde oluşan iş kazaları incelendiği zaman, kazaların yaklaşık %88‘inin “tehlikeli hareket”, %10’unun “tehlikeli durum” ve %2’sinin de sebebi bilinmeyen durumlardan meydana geldiği görülmektedir. Güvenlik kültürü, tasarımda güvenlik, toplu veya kişisel koruyucu önlemler ile ilgili çalışmalar ülkemizde başlamış ama yeterli seviyeye getirilememiştir. Uzun vadede çalışmalarda, Avrupa standartlarına ulaşılsa dahi, tehlikeli hareketler ile ilgili kazalar, sistematik önlemler almadan yeterli seviyeye getirilemeyecektir. Bu sistemler çalışanların hatayı yapmayacak veya bazı hatalarını otomatik olarak durduracak şekilde tasarlanmalıdır. İş sağlığı ve güvenliği çalışmalarında dokunmatik sensörler, gaz sensörleri vb. birçok sensör farklı sektörlerde kullanılmaktadır. Ancak ülkemizde ikinci el makine kullanımı çok fazla olduğundan dolayı sensörler etkin olarak kullanılamamaktadır. Eskiden büyük maliyetli olan sensörler günümüz şartlarında çok daha uygun maliyetlerde imal edilmektedir. Çok hızlı şekilde gelişen teknoloji, bu tarz uygulamalara kolaylık sağlamaktadır. Ayrıca endüstri 4.0 ile beraber bu tip kullanımların yaygınlaşacağı öngörülmektedir. Bu çalışmada 5x5 L tipi matris yöntemiyle örnek bir vaka incelenerek iş sağlığı güvenliği değerlendirmeleri yapılmış, kaza sonrası yapılan risk analizinde sensörlerin kullanımıyla iş kazası oluşma ihtimali %75 oranında düşürülmüştür. Zaman içerisinde diğer preslerde ve benzeri makinelerde yapılan uygulamalar vasıtasıyla kazalar minimize edilmiştir.

Günümüzde rekabetin ve sürekli iyileştirmenin en önemli unsurlarından birisi de iş sağlığı ve güvenliği çalışmalarıdır. İş sağlığı ve güvenliği uygulamalarının etkinliği işletmelerin ve çalışanların performansını uzun dönemde olumlu etkilemektedir. Çalışma ortamında üretim verimliliğini ve çalışan sağlığını olumsuz etkileyen birçok risk faktörü bulunmaktadır. Bunların tespit edilmesi ve çalışma ortamından uzaklaştırılması işletmenin ve çalışanın güvenliği açısından önemlidir. Bu çalışmada tekstil sektöründe, iş kazalarına sebep olan risk faktörleri incelenmiştir. Kazalar üzerinde etkili olan risk faktörleri ve birbirleri arasındaki etkileri daha net ve doğru olarak belirlenebilirse, yapılacak iş sağlığı ve güvenliği uygulamalarının da etkinliği o düzeyde artacaktır. İş kazasına sebep olan risk faktörlerinin birbirleri arasındaki ilişki DEMATEL yöntemi ile araştırılmıştır. Sonuç olarak “yönetim-işveren algıları” kriterinin diğer risk faktörlerini daha çok etkilediği tespit edilmiştir. Yönetim-işveren algısında oluşturulabilecek iyileşmeler ile diğer risk faktörlerinin etkinliği ve kazaların gerçekleşme durumu azaltılacaktır. Diğer kriterleri en az etkileyen ve en fazla etkilenen faktör ise “biyolojik faktörler” olarak bulunmuştur.

Aim: Every year, thousands of people die due to work accidents and tens of thousands of people become disabled and lose their health. The most important reasons for this situation are the lack of sufficient importance attached to occupational health and safety, lack of supervision, and employer's view of worker health and safety as a cost item. The present study aims to determine the sociodemographic characteristics of the patients admitted to the emergency department due to work accidents, the causes of work accidents, the occurrence mechanisms of accidents, and the causes of accident occurrence in terms of casualties and to offer solutions. Aim: Every year, thousands of people die due to work accidents and tens of thousands of people become disabled and lose their health. The most important reasons for this situation are the lack of sufficient importance attached to occupational health and safety, lack of supervision, and employer's view of worker health and safety as a cost item. The present study aims to determine the sociodemographic characteristics of the patients admitted to the emergency department due to work accidents, the causes of work accidents, the occurrence mechanisms of accidents, and the causes of accident occurrence in terms of casualties and to offer solutions. Results: During the present study, 40.185 patients were admitted to our emergency department. Of these patients, 287 (0.71%) had occupational accidents and 170 (59.2%) of these patients were included in the study. A total of 117 patients were excluded because they did not want to participate in the study. According to the educational status of the victims, no statistical significance was found between the groups in the answers to the question: If precautions were taken, there would be no accident. Conclusion: Most of the patients who had a work accident and were admitted to the emergency department were young workers with a low-to-middle level of education. Although they stated that they did not receive adequate training and work in a poor working environment, most of the patients expressed the work accidents would not be prevented even if the necessary measures were taken.

The purpose of this study is to test the general valid factors affecting the formation of occupational accidents and occupational diseases according to two mining companies operating in Iran and how effective ISO and OHSAS applications used in only one operation are in preventing the factors affecting the occurrence of occupational accidents and occupational diseases. and compared to the business that does not use OHSAS. In the study of 2019, data obtained from 310 evaluation scales applied to two business employees were evaluated separately and finally, a general evaluation was made for ISO and OHSAS applications. As a result, significant differences were found between factor evaluations affecting the occurrence of occupational accidents and occupational diseases according to gender, education level and working time of business employees using and not using ISO and OHSAS. According to the general evaluations made according to the fact that business employees are aware of the existence of ISO and OHSAS application in their workplaces, they stated that employees who are aware of the application of ISO and OHSAS practices in their workplaces are effective in preventing the factors affecting the occurrence of occupational accidents and occupational diseases.

Objective: Work is an important factor that gives social status in people's lives while effecting their health via physical, chemical, psychological, social and economic circumstances"1, 2". With the industrial revolution, mechanization has affected nearly all aspects of working life, and mass production is associated with a number of problems. One of the major problems is occupational injuries. Employees; faced with various occupational hazards due to reasons such as machines they use, poisonous substances in the working environment, work organization not suitable for human structure "3". Hence, a considerable number of people lose their lives or become disabled due to occupational injuries that can be prevented very easily "4". Methods: In this study, occupatinal injuries that occurred between January 1, 2013 and December 31, 2015 were analyzed retrospectively. The archive files and Social Security Institution (SGK) records of patients who presented themselves to Dicle University Medical Faculty Emergency Medicine and Traumatology Hospital in Diyarbakır were examined. In addition to the demographic characteristics of the 406 cases included in the study, such as age, gender, time-based application such as seasonal distribution of injuries, day distribution and time distribution were examined. The place injuries occured, the way of applying to the emergency service, the type of injury, the injured organ, the type of occupation, the clinical and outcome parameters where he/she was treated or hospitalized were evaluated. Results: The percentages of the employee genders, included in the study, are 96.8% (n=393) male and 3.2% (n=13) female. The highest number of cases is observed in the spring season, with 30.8% (n=125). The patients were presented to the Emergency Department most frequently between 12.00 and 16.00, with 34.7% (n = 141). The Thursdays have the highest frequency of the cases presented, with 17.7% (n=72). Considering the distribution of the location types that the occupational injury occurred, it is determined that 99% (n=402) of the overall cases happened in the work environment, and 0.5% (n=2) of them happened while working at home. The remaining 0.5% (n=2) of the location of the occupational injury could not be identified. Conclusion: Since it is a common phenomenon in working life, occupational injuries should first of all be evaluated in terms of their place in production relations. Since the workplaces are places established for profit, any precaution against work injuries is a cost issue. Another important feature of occupational injuries is that they can be prevented.

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]

Risk analysis requires determination and prevention of hazards that cause occupational accidents and illnesses as well as preparation of application plans to reduce risk levels of hazards and keeping them under control. This paper explains a risk analysis application applied in a public enterprise. With this application, the hazards and risk levels in the enterprise were determined and improvement plans were prepared to reduce the risk levels and the plans were implemented and the control activities were identified to keep the risk levels under control. In the analysis, firstly the hazards with highest risks in terms of occupational health and safety were investigated. In the enterprise, a risk management system, which can reduce or eliminate the risk levels in case of hazards with highest risks and which can keep the risk levels under control in case of hazards with low risk continuously, was established. With the system formed, the occupational accidents were reduced significantly and a safer working environment for the enterprise’s employees was ensured. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the new development concept that determines the happiness of people as the main target, improving social welfare indicators such as education and health is very important. For this reason, besides the welfare of the general population, countries take the necessary measures to ensure that employees, which are the most important elements of production, work in a happy and safe environment. In this study, the relationship between human development levels of countries and occupational accidents was investigated. In this context, the correlation and the independent group t-test analyzes have been conducted by using the SPSS program. In the result of the correlation analysis conducted in the study, as expected, it has been observed that there is a negative correlation between human development levels of countries and mortality accidents rate. According to the independent group t-test, a statistically significant difference was found between the countries with the very high human development level and other countries in terms of mortality accidents rate. The countries with very high levels of human development have a lower mortality accidents rate averages than the other countries; This result may be interpreted as lower accidents rate in countries with higher human development levels.

Amaç: Sağlık kurum ve kuruluşlarda yer alan, hastaların teşhis, tedavi ve takiplerinin yapılmasında önemli rolleri olan laboratuvarlarda görev alan sağlık personellerinin koruyucu önlemlerini uygulamamaları zincirleme aksaklıklara sebep olabilmektedir. Söz konusu durum, gerek görevli sağlık personelinin ve gerekse toplum sağlığını tehdit edebilmektedir. Hastadan materyal alınırken dikkat edilmesi gereken hususlar ve toplanan biyolojik materyallerin ilgili birimlere gönderilmesi hususları, klinik birimlerden başlayan ve laboratuvara kadar devam eden bir süreçtir. Bu süreçte; laboratuvarlar, yüksek düzeyde sterilizasyonun uygulanması ve hastadan materyal alınma öncesi, sırası ve sonrasında hastane personelinin kendisini ve çevresini koruması gereken ünitelerdir. Ülkemizde laboratuarlarda görev yapan sağlık personelinin kişisel güvenlik tedbirleri uygulamaması sonucunda gelişen kazalarda artış görülmektedir.Bu düşüncelerden yola çıkarak, Türkiye’de son zamanlarda artan iş kazalarına kurumların dikkatini çekmek ve laboratuarda görev yapan personelin iş sağlığı güvenliği konusunda bilgisini, kişisel korunma tedbirlerini uygulama oranlarını ve mesleki yaşamı boyunca geçirdiği kazaları değerlendirmek çalışmanın amacını oluşturmaktadır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Selçuk Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi Tıbbi Biyokimya Laboratuvarı’nda görev yapan 32 sağlık çalışanına uzman doktor, hemşire, laborant, araştırma görevlisi gönüllülük esası ile 43 sorudan oluşan anket uygulanmıştır. Sunulan çalışma Çalışmamız, Şubat 2014 tarihinde personel mesai saati dışında gerçekleştirilmiştir. Anketin birinci bölümünde katılımcıların sosyo-demografik özelliklerini belirten, ikinci bölümünde mesleki tutumlarını değerlendiren soruları cevaplandırmaları istenmiştir.Bulgular ve Sonuç: Çalışma bulgularımız sağlık personellerinin, mesleki kazalara sıklıkla maruz kaldığını ve bu durumun yeterli kişisel güvenlik tedbirlerinin uygulamamasının bir sonucu olduğunu göstermektedir. Personelin el yıkama alışkanlığı, aşılanma, yaralanmalarda uygulaması gerekenler hususunda verilen hizmet içi eğitimlerin artırılması ve bu eğitimlere katılımların sağlanması bir diğer önemli bulgudur

Amaç Biz bu çalışmada, bir hastanenin acil servisine başvuran iş kazalarının nedenlerini ve sonuçlarını değerlendirmeyi amaçladık.Materyal ve Metot: Bu araştırmanın verileri, 01 Ocak-31 Aralık 2012 tarihleri arasında, Gaziantep’teki bir özel hastanenin acil servisine iş kazası nedeniyle başvuru yapan hastaların kayıtlarının retrospektif incelenmesiyle elde edilmiştir. Kategorik ölçüm parametrileri rakam ve persentil olarak, sayısal ölçümler de ortalama ve standart deviasyon şeklinde ifade edilmiştir. Araştırmamız, retrospektif tipte, deskriptif ve kesitsel kayıt taraması çalışmasıdır.Bulgular: Çalışma süresince kayıt edilen 133 iş kazası olgusunun, acil servisteki tüm başvuruların %0.2’sini oluşturduğu belirlenmiştir. Kaza geçiren çalışanların 131’i (%98.5) erkek, 2’si (%1.5) kadın olup yaş ortalamaları 32.8±10.8’tir. Kazaların %12.0 ile en çok Mayıs ayında, %37.8 ile en fazla Pazartesi günü, %58.7 ile en çok 08: 00-17: 00 saatleri arasında meydana geldiği belirlenmiştir. Değerlendirmeye alınan iş kazalarının %99.2’sinin özel iş yerlerinde, %52.6’sının düşme nedeniyle meydana geldiği, %61.7’sinde üst ekstremite yaralanması görüldüğü tespit edilmiştir.Sonuç: Bu çalışmada, iş kazaları sonucunda en sık yaralanan vücut bölümünün üst ekstremite olduğunu saptadık. Ayrıca hastaların büyük bir kısmı acil serviste ayaktan tedavi görmüş ve çok azının hayati tehlikesi olmuştur. İş kazaların gerçek boyutları ve sonuçlarının belirlenerek önlenebilmesi için öncelikle standardize ve eksiksiz olarak kaydedilmesi, monitorize edilmesi ve raporlanması sağlanmalıdır.

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]
