THE INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM OF DISASTER & EMERGENCY – INFORMATION & INTERVENTION (SODEII 2022), Erzurum, Türkiye, 25 Ocak 2022, ss.85-90
Today,
there are many reasons that impair the health of employees in workplaces. Due
to these reasons, employees suffer from work accidents and occupational
diseases and even become disabled as a result. It has been felt necessary to
carry out occupational health and safety studies in order to prevent the
employees from becoming disabled and sick in the workplaces. The main purpose
of Occupational Health and Safety is to determine the dangers and risks that
may harm the health of the employees in the working environment and to take
precautions, to ensure that the employees work in a comfortable and safe
environment, to ensure a complete physical and mental well-being and to
maintain it at a desired level.
For
this reason, in order to prevent or minimize work accidents and occupational
diseases in our country, the Occupational Health and Safety Law No. 6331 was
published in the Official Gazette on 30 June 2012 and put into force on 01
January 2013. Following the Occupational Health and Safety Law, regulations,
directives and communiqués have been published. With the Occupational Health
and Safety Law No. 6331, it is obligatory that all workplaces will benefit from
occupational health and safety services, regardless of the number of employees,
and that workplaces have to be divided into three hazard classes and require
service according to the hazard class.
In
addition, OHSAS 18001 Occupational Health and Safety Management System Standard
was used to identify and manage the risks and hazards that might occur in the
From the point of Occupational Health and Safety. However, although this
standard includes many issues in terms of Occupational Health and Safety, since
it is not an ISO standard, ISO standard was started to be developed instead and
TS (ISO) 45001 Occupational Health and Safety Systems standard was published in
2018.
The
purpose of implementing an Occupational Health and Safety management system in
workplaces is to ensure that the workplace is safe and healthy and to protect
employees from work accidents and occupational diseases that may occur while
they are working, that is, to take preventive measures to prevent work
accidents and occupational diseases, and to continuously improve Occupational
Health and Safety performance. The Occupational Health and Safety management
system will help a business meet legal and other requirements.
