Reducing occupational accidents is vital to protect the health and safety of workers. This helps prevent economic losses and social losses while increasing labor productivity. More work accidents can lead to economic costs such as lost labor and health expenditures. Therefore, understanding the relationship between occupational accidents and the minimum wage can help assess the economic impacts and contribute to the formulation of more sustainable economic and occupational health and safety policies. The aim of this study is to examine the potential relationship between the minimum wage level and occupational accidents in Turkey and to statistically analyze the effects of occupational health and safety measures on the minimum wage level. This study is a retrospective analysis of the relationship between minimum wage and occupational accidents in Turkey between 2014 and 2021. The population of the study consisted of all employees who were included in the Social Security Institution Statistical Years between 2014-2021 and who experienced occupational accidents. No sampling criterion was used in the study and all employees were included. The data were obtained from the reports prepared by the Statistical Department of the General Directorate of Labor of the Ministry of Labor and Social Security of the Republic of Turkey between 2014-2021 and the statistical yearbooks of the Social Security Institution. JAMOVI 2.3.28 software program was used in the statistical analysis of the data. The significance level was taken as 0.05. A positive, statistically significant and strong relationship was found between minimum wage level and occupational accidents (r=0.897; p=.05). It was also found that the work accident variable explained 77% of the variance of the minimum wage variable. As a result, it is concluded that the increase in the minimum wage level does not reduce occupational accidents. However, the extent to which the increase in the minimum wage is meaningful in inflationary Turkey is open to debate. Further research on the macro and micro causes of occupational accidents is recommended. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Her yıl büyük bir kısmı kolaylıkla önlenebilecek iş kazaları ve meslek hastalıkları sonucu pek çok insan hayatını kaybetmekte veya engelli hale gelmektedir. İş kazalarına karşı yeterli önlem almamanın sonuçlarını daha net bir şekilde ortaya koyabilmek için kaza maliyetlerinin hesaplanması son derece önemlidir. İş kazalarının maliyetleri literatürde direkt ve indirekt maliyetler olarak iki gruba ayrılmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, 2013-2023 yılları arasında makine sektöründe yaşanan iş kazalarındaki bu iki grup maliyet ortaya konularak, bu maliyetin yüklediği ekonomik yükün analiz edilmesi amaçlanmaktadır. Çalışmada direkt maliyetlerin hesaplanmasında 5510 sayılı Sosyal Sigortalar ve Genel Sağlık Sigortası Kanunundan, indirekt maliyetlerin hesaplanmasında ise İngiltere Sağlık ve Güvenlik Müdürlüğünün “Yıllık Kaza Maliyetlerinin Hesaplanması” yaklaşımından yararlanılarak Türkiye’de 2013-2023 yılları arasında makine sektöründe gerçekleşen iş kazalarının maliyetleri karşılaştırmalı olarak incelenmektedir. Çalışmada iş kazası maliyetlerinin, kaza sayılarının, asgari ücretin ve döviz kurlarının artışıyla birlikte her yıl düzenli olarak artış gösterdiği ve 2023 yılında 4.470.466.863,73 TL’ye ulaşarak hesaplamaların yapıldığı 11 yıllık dönemde en yüksek değere ulaştığı görülmüştür.

The company analyzed in the paper presented attaches great importance to the activity of protecting all employees and its assets against the risks of injury or damage, considering life to be the most valuable asset. Therefore, occupational safety and health must be integrated through the collective effort to achieve the desired quality of the services provided. In this paper I wanted to highlight the fact that obtaining positive results in the field of OSH involves much more than the implementation of a formalized structure, the management of a company must develop a culture of continuous improvement and involvement / participation of all employees in order to generate positive effects on OSH performance, as it refers to their health and physical integrity. The implementation of these measures and conclusions can significantly contribute to reducing the risks of occupational accidents and illnesses for any employee, not just for the welding profession, thus promoting a safer and healthier working environment.

This article examines the situation of occupational accidents in the construction site sector in Romania, an area characterized by increased risks for the health and safety of workers. Recent statistics indicate a high incidence of accidents, mainly presented by the lack of training of employees, noncompliance of equipment and insufficient resources allocated for effective controls. The study identifies the main causes of these accidents and highlights the need for a more rigorous approach in the implementation of occupational health and safety measures. In addition, the role of collaboration between authorities, employers and workers in promoting an organisational culture of safety is highlighted. These aspects are essential for increasing safety in industry and for the sustainable economic development of the construction sector. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

İş Sağlığı ve Güvenliği (İSG) önlemleri için yapılması gereken harcamalar işletmeler tarafından göz ardı edilmemelidir. Bu harcamalar, özellikle çok tehlikeli sınıfta yer alan ve iş kazası olabilirlik oranlarına göre tüm sektörler arasında ilk sırada yer alan madencilik sektörü için çok daha hayati öneme sahiptir. Bu çalışmada, öncelikle 2013-2022 yılları arasındaki, beş farklı ekonomik faaliyetten oluşan madencilik sektörüne ait Sosyal Güvenlik Kurumu (SGK) kayıtları incelenmiştir. Doğal taş sektörünün, en fazla çalışan sayısına sahip “diğer madencilik ve taş ocakçılığı” ekonomik faaliyeti içerisinde yer aldığı ve 10 yıllık iş kazası verilerine göre ölüm oranlarında “kömür ve linyit çıkarımından” sonra ikinci sırada yer aldığı tespit edilmiştir. İSG için yapılan harcamaların mali büyüklüğünü ve işletmeye sağladığı faydanın büyüklüğünü analiz etmek amacıyla, bir mermer fabrikasının 2020 yılındaki İSG harcamaları incelenmiştir. Yapılan değerlendirme sonucunda, İSG harcamalarının işletme cirosunun yaklaşık %0,5’ine karşılık geldiği tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca, Çalışma ve Sosyal Güvenlik Bakanlığı (ÇSGB) tarafından hazırlanan “İş Sağlığı ve Güvenliği Fayda-Maliyet Analizi Proje Raporu” esas alınarak, işletmedeki İSG harcamaları için fayda-maliyet analizi yapılmış ve faydanın İSG maliyetinin 5,54 katı olduğu belirlenmiştir. Diğer madencilik ve taş ocakçılığı ekonomik faaliyetinde alınan İSG önlemlerinin ülke ekonomisine sağlayacağı faydanın ise 2023 yılı fiyatlarıyla ortalama 13 milyar TL olabileceği hesaplanmıştır. Sonuç olarak, İSG için yapılan harcamaların geleceğe yönelik büyük yatırımlar olacağı sayısal olarak ortaya konulmuştur.

Management of occupational accident risk involves systematic, planned, structured, and comprehensive efforts to mitigate the factors that contribute to the occurrence of work accidents. This study aims to examine the risk of work accidents in the Tukad Ayung Bridge replacement project, especially at the stage of installing concrete girders. Qualitative and quantitative data from primary and secondary sources were used, collected through observation, interviews, questionnaires, literature review, and documentation analysis. The Hazard Identification, Risk Assessment, and Risk Control (HIRARC) method is used for data analysis. The findings revealed 24 types of work accident risks at seven stages of concrete block installation in the project including the concrete girder preparation stage, girder truss making, erection (setting segmental girder), prestressed steel installation (strand), cabel strand stressing work, concrete girder tendon grouting, and diaphragm installation stage. The results of the risk analysis on the concrete girder installation work on the Tukad Ayung Bridge replacement project, are in the moderate category, which is as many as 12 risks. Furthermore, as many as 11 risks are included in the high category. Meanwhile, in the extreme category as much as 1 risk. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background. Workplace safety is a global public health issue. Reconstructing 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 protocols 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.

Work accidents occurred upstream and downstream company project activities. PT. Pertamina would be one of the causes of disruption or cessation of project work activities. The risk of failure always existed in every work activity, and when a work accident occured, no matter how small, it could result in detrimental effects, therefore as much as possible and as early as possible, potential work accidents must be prevented or at least reduced in their impact. The lack of knowledge about occupational safety and health was largely due to the belief that occupational safety and health programs would be an additional burden on company costs, even though if we took into account the amount of compensation and compensation funds for work accident victims were smaller than the profits. This research aimed to identify and analyze the occurrence of work accidents at PT. Pertamina in terms of counterproductive work behavior. The approach used in this research was a qualitative approach with a case study research design. The results of the research concluded that the adoption of counterproductive work behavior was starting to be widely implemented in the field of occupational safety and health in order to minimize the number of work accidents and prevention of work accidents could be carried out using methods of elimination, substitution, technical engineering, administrative control and the used of personal protective equipment for workers.

Objectives. Turkey canceled the daylight saving time (DST) transition and started permanent clockapplication. Considering the effect of this new regulation on working hours, this study examines whether there is a relationship with the increase in the number of workaccidents in shifts. Methods. Data on work accidents were obtained from the Republic of Turkey Social Security Institution (SSI), filed between 2011 and 2020. We estimate accident rates using Poisson regression and log-linear models as a function of a variety of date-based factors. Results. The results show that DST transition is effective (ineffective in terms of gender) on changes in the number of workaccidents. With statistical analyses, the hourly distribution of workaccidents was determined, indicating at which hour the most workaccidents occurred, using the work accident frequency rate. The number of prevented work accidents was calculated as 286,793 for Turkey. Conclusion. The findings from these studies suggest that cancellation of the DST transition does not have a negative effect on the incidence of workaccidents in Turkey; on the contrary, this practice also serves the purpose of preventing workaccidents.

İş kazalarının temel nedenlerinden birinin çalışanların güvensiz davranışları olduğu bilinmektedir. Buradan hareketle çalışanların güvenli davranışlarının iş kazalarını azaltmada büyük rol oynayacağı açıktır. Araştırmanın amacı, bir ilaç firmasındaki çalışanların güvenlik kültürü ve güvenli davranış düzeylerinin belirlenerek, güvenlik kültürünün güvenlik davranışı üzerine etkisinin değerlendirilmesidir. Bu tespitler de kurumların davranış odaklı güvenlik yönetim sistemi kurmalarını sağlayacaktır. Çalışma, Tekirdağ ve Kocaeli illerindeki bir ilaç firmasının 3 ayrı tesisinde 610 çalışanın katılımıyla anket uygulayarak gerçekleştirilmiştir. Çalışanların %61.14’ü kazaların nedenlerinin çalışanın güvenli (emniyetli) olmayan davranışı olarak yanıtlamışlardır. Ayrıca güvenlik kültürünün, yönetimin sürdürülebilirgüvenlik desteği, çalışma alanı-iş çevresi ve güvenlik farkındalığı olarak üç ayrı faktör başlığı altında toplandığı belirlenmiştir. Regresyon analizi sonucuna göre, güvenlik kültürünü en iyi açıklayan faktör gruplarının, çalışma alanı-iş çevresi ve güvenlik farkındalığı olduğu görülmüştür. Yine regresyon analizine göre, güvenli davranışı etkileyen en önemli faktörün ise güvenlik uyumu olduğu ve üç önemli güvenlik kültürü faktörünün ise güvenlik uyumu üzerine etkisinin %39 civarında olduğu belirlenmiştir. Kadercilik algısı ile herhangi bir faktör arasında %95 anlamlılık düzeyinde bir ilişki olmadığı bulunmuştur. Bu durum bize kadercilik algısını açıklayan faktörün regresyon analizi için kullanılamayacağını göstermiştir. Çalışma sonuçları doğrultusunda, çalışanların güvenli davranışlarının arttırılması için güvenlik uyumu kapsamında güvenli davranışların alışkanlığa dönüştürülmesi gerekmektedir.

The Method for the Integrated Assessment of Risks for rainforest (MIARforest) is a specific methodology for assessing the risk of occupational accidents associated with working in native tropical forests. MIARforest was validated for the results' reproducibility and the reliability of calculated risk levels through the Delphi approach. Two rounds of questionnaires illustrating ten scenarios of activities associated with the logging process in the Eastern Amazon's native rainforest (Brazil) were presented to forestry and occupational health and safety (OHS) experts. In the first round, the questionnaire was answered anonymously by 55 experts, and in the second, by 46. A percentage of agreement of at least 80% in each question was considered to close the process. Questions that did not meet the criterion in the first round were reassessed in the second round. The obtained results lead to the conclusion that MIARforest, an occupational accident risk assessment tool, has been effectively validated, demonstrating inter-rater reproducibility and reliability in determining risk values. These results highlight the objectivity and reliability of MIARforest. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background. Each year, there are billions of agricultural work accidents involving the operation of tractors, grain augers, harvest combines, power take-off devices, or balers and thrashers. Field accidents of this nature seem more common on afternoons, just as road accidents tend to skew toward nighttime. The lesions can vary widely and depends strictly on the operation of the machinery analyzed. Aims. This paper aims to present a peculiar case of decapitation by a combine harvester, showing how, in cases of injury due to agricultural machinery, it is fundamental a correct execution of a scene investigation, autoptic examination, and cooperation with a specialist in engineering. Case Report. A 54-year-old man was found decapitated on the header of a combine harvester; his extremities were also dismembered. At autopsy, a clean oblique cut across the first cervical vertebra had severed the head at the neck. Although the right arm remained intact, both lower extremities were mutilated, showing numerous exposed and open fractures. A bleeding, penetrating wound to the back was additionally noted. In the days that followed, missing parts (head and left leg) were discovered in other machine components (grain tank and straw walker, respectively). All observed injuries were compatible with the mechanics of the cochlea, its rotating movement inflicting the damages above. Collaboration between pathologists and engineers was fundamental to recreating the dynamics of this rare decapitation accident by a combine harvester. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

CV XYZ is a company engaged in the production of fashion. The problem that occurs in CV XYZ is that there are still several cases of work accidents caused by the attitude of workers, the work environment and the tools used during the production process. The purpose of this study is to analyze the potential hazards and the causes of potential hazards, the risk of injury and even work accidents and provide suggestions for improvements to reduce the risk of work accidents so that control and prevention of hazards that arise in the work area can be carried out. The methods used in this research are Hazard and Operability Study (HAZOP) and Job Safety Analysis (JSA). Hazard and Operability Study (HAZOP) is a hazard identification approach in working environment conditions, existing facilities, equipment operation and overall production. Hazop looks for possible causes of accidents and determines the consequences of deviations that occur when a job is done. Job Safety Analysis (JSA) is the identification of hazards by taking into account unsafe act and unsafe conditions. This hazard identification method is carried out by studying a job to identify hazards and potential incidents associated with each step and used to find solutions and control existing hazards. Based on the results of data processing, it is known that the sources of hazards that exist or have the potential for work accidents are the attitudes of workers and the physical work environment and it is known that there are 30 identified hazards from 16 routine activities and 7 of them have the highest risk of intensity in causing hazards in the work area.

Workplaces in the construction industry are coded as “very dangerous” workplaces in the OHS legislation, as they are the workplaces where work accidents occur most frequently and work accidents cause irreparable results. While land structures are built on a foundation laid on a fixed ground, the fact that floating elements require a structuring on a movable ground and without a foundation makes the ship industry a special area of the construction sector. Shipyards, where shipbuilding, maintenance and repair activities are carried out, and in this respect, which form the main backbone of the ship industry, are workplaces that are critically important to examine in terms of occupational health and safety discipline, since they contain "unacceptable risks" for human and environmental health due to the activities carried out. In this study, it is aimed to examine the occupational health and safety practices in shipyards through the defined indicators, to refer to the measures to be taken for possible occupational health and safety non-compliances, and thus to contribute to the creation of a process guide for the prevention of work accidents and occupational diseases. In order to achieve this aim, in the study; the document analysis method was applied and the data collection process was carried out in the form of "observation" and "literature review". As a first in the occupational health and safety discipline, the business processes in the shipyards were analyzed in an integrated way, by defining the leading, compliance and lagging indicators.?

Construction Projects are a work sector that has a high level of work accident risk. This is due to the lack of awareness of the importance of implementing a good Construction Safety Management System (SMKK) following applicable laws and regulations, often the application of the Construction Safety Management System on a project is considered only as a costly expense, not as an investment to prevent work accidents but only is considered to provide a level of loss from the project itself. But, in the construction of the Main Market of City X, there was a work accident; an analysis was carried out using the Failure Mode And analysis method, several works with a high-risk level, namely formwork demolition work, installation work and WF steel assembly work with each value of 48 risk priority numbers with a risk map value of 19, ceiling frame assembly work with a value of 36 risk priority number with a risk map value of 17, Pile head bore work, ceiling material transportation work from storage, test commissioning work with each value of 32 risk priority numbers with a risk map value of 19.

Introduction: According to data from the Ministry of Manpower of the Republic of Indonesia in 2016, it shows that there were 16,880 work accidents that occurred in East Java, which were classified as an OHS emergency. This study aims to analyze the incidence of work accidents and the amount of work accident insurance benefits received by the participants of Employment Insurance and Social Security in East Java Province. Methods: This study used non-reactive research and secondary data, namely gender, age, accident location, time of accident, number of work accidents and data on the number of benefits received by the participants of Employment Insurance and Social Security in East Java in 2016. The number of samples was 4,700 respondents. The analysis was conducted by comparing the number of work accidents with the amount of benefits received by workers participating in the Employment Insurance and Social Security. Results: The results showed that based on gender, the highest occupational accident cases occurred in male workers (80%), most of the occupational accident cases occurred at the age

Construction services are one of the most important and strategic sectors supporting the achievement of development in Indonesia. Through this sector, Indonesia can experience stable economic growth. In 2020, accidents in the construction sector were the highest cases compared to other sectors, with a death rate of more than 60,000 cases annually. The role of Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) Management and the application of its requirements when working at heights is crucial to protect against the dangers of work accidents due to high risk. This study aims to determine the relationship between the factors that affect work accidents in the construction sector and their effect on Productivity moderated by ergonomics. This research was conducted by analyzing surveys from work-at-height workers in the construction sector, with 107 respondents from projects in Jakarta. The data analysis method used is Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) based on non-covariance, namely Partial Least Square (PLS). Data analysis using Smart PLS 3.0 software. The results show that Ergonomics has no direct effect on Productivity, with p-value 0.313. Work Accidents do not directly affect Productivity with p-value 0.333. OHS Management does not directly affect Work Accidents with p-value 0.013. OHS Management has a direct effect on Productivity with p-value 0.000. Application of OHS Requirements has a direct effect on Work Accidents with p-value 0.527. Application of OHS Requirements has a direct effect on Productivity with p-value 0.001 and Application of OHS Requirements through Ergonomics has no direct effect on Productivity with p-value 0.000.

The emergency generated by COVID-19 brought great changes in all areas, including labor, thus changing the dynamics in all economic sectors. The health sector has been on the front line since the beginning of the COVID-19 contingency, clearly exposed constantly to the biological risk factor, thus allowing staff to contract this pathology; therefore, since COVID-19 is a new pathology, of which there was no record, the National Government needed to issue Decree 676 of 2020, which introduces COVID-19 in the table of occupational diseases, presuming the same for the health sector.

Occupational accidents can occur due to a lack of implementation of occupational health and safety practices and can be caused by many factors such as chemical factors, physical factors, biological factors, ergonomic factors, and psychological factors. A work accident is an unexpected event which is certainly not expected, a work accident that occurs is of course an adverse event in terms of material and light to heavy scale. calculation through existing hazard sources using the likelihood criteria using the L symbol and the severity (consequences) using the C symbol using the risk matrix formula using the risk formula = L.C is the level of risk with medium, high, and extreme and recommendations for improvement are made, such as the use of PPE at extreme risks as well as suggestions for medium and high risks.

Coal mining has the most risk in all of the mining sectors. Hence, in this sector, most work accidents encountered are intensive. The demographic characteristics of workers affect the occurrence of occupational accidents. This study aims to develop an equation that predicts workday loss by analyzing the relationship between workers' demographic characteristics and having an accident with workday loss. In this study, work-related accidents between 2014 and 2019 in underground hard coal mines in Turkey were analyzed using logistic regression analysis. An equation is derived that estimates the workday loss with the characteristics of workers in hard coal mines. With the equation derived in this study, employers can determine the potential for work accidents according to the demographic characteristics of the workers and serious work accidents will be prevented. Therefore, proactive solutions can be produced by applying the methods used in this study to different industries. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction: Work-related open-globe injuries are a major cause of preventable vision loss worldwide with a significant socioeconomic impact., Aim: To describe the demographics and clinical characteristics, identify the prognostic factors of work-related open-globe injuries and suggest preventive measures to minimize the incidence of these accidents., Methods: A retrospective study of patients hospitalized in the Ophthalmology Department of Habib Bourguiba University Hospital, Sfax, Tunisia, for occupational open-globe injuries, between January 2020 and December 2022. A medical history and a complete ophthalmological examination were performed on all patients. Initial visual acuity (IVA) was systematically measured. We also studied the factors associated with poor final visual acuity (FVA). Poor visual prognosis was defined as an FVA of less than 1/10 six months after the trauma. Statistical analysis was performed using the system of Statistical Products and Services Solution (SPSS 26.0). A p-value less than 0.05 indicated statistical significance., Results: Thirty-three eyes of 33 patients with work-related open-globe injuries were analyzed. The mean age was 39 ± 11.75 years, with male predominance. Almost half of them, 48.5% were welders. Mechanism of injury was penetrating trauma in 72.7% of cases. The mean presenting IVA was 1/25. Corneal wounds were present in 20 cases. Traumatic cataract was the most common associated lesion and was found in 36.4% of the patients. Intraocular foreign body was noted in 24.2%. The mean FVA was 1.6/10. Initial VA (p=0.04) and VH (p=0.004) was the significant predictive factors for final visual outcome in work-related open-globe injury patients., Conclusion: Work-related open-globe injuries are a significant problem commonly encountered in healthcare settings throughout the world. It can cause significant morbidity in a young population of patients. This type of injury can be largely prevented with proper education and use of safety equipment.
