Water treatment plants are the most important facilities used to provide potable water to settlements and to clean water. These facilities raise water quality to the desired standards physically, bacteriologically and chemically. A conventional drinking water treatment plant consists of aeration, coagulation, flocculation, settling, filtration and disinfection units. Each of these units has its own hazards. For this reason, if adequate safety precautions are not taken, the possibility of plant employees to be exposed to these hazards will be quite high. Risks arise as a result of exposure to hazards in every workplace. It is important to analyze these risks and determine the precautionary priorities and to ensure health and safety in the workplace. In this study, the hazards that employees may be exposed to in a drinking water treatment plant in the Eastern Black Sea region were determined. All the units of the facility were examined and all risks that would affect the employees and the working order of the facility were calculated with the matrix method. After the risk levels have been determined, in the study the risks named as unacceptable and as to be considered are presented and the precautions to be taken in the facility are listed in order to be protected from these risks. As a result of the study, the importance of personal protection measures and safety culture, especially collective protection measures, was emphasized for the employees in such workplaces containing complex units.
Bu araştırma, Sinop Üniversitesi'nde öğrenim gören MYO öğrencilerinin iş sağlığı ve güvenliği konusuna yaklaşımlarının ön değerlendirilmesi amacıyla yapılmıştır. Araştırma tanımlayıcı nitelikte olup, Mayıs-Haziran 2016 tarihleri arasında, Sinop Üniversitesi Meslek Yüksekokulu ve Boyabat Meslek Yüksekokulu'nda öğrenim gören ve mesleki olarak tehlike seviyesi en yüksek olan üç ayrı programdan araştırmayı kabul eden toplam 171 öğrenci ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırma verisi, araştırmacılar tarafından sosyo-demografik özellikleri ve her bir program için farklı hazırlanan iş sağlığı ve güvenliği ile ilgili mesleki olarak yaklaşımlarını belirlemeye yönelik 24 soruluk bilgi formları ile elde edilmiştir. Bu araştırma sonucunda, öğrencilerin iş sağlığı ve güvenliği ile ilgili yaklaşımları değerlendirildiğinde, her üç program için hem benzer hem de farklı sonuçlar elde edilmiştir.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
