This article is dedicated to the memories of coal miners who lost their lives in Soma (Manisa). It was not their destiny.
İş Sağlığı ve Güvenliği hayatımızın her aşamasında yer almaktadır. İlk aklımıza gelen işletmelerde çalışanların sağlığının korunması ve güvenli bir çalışma ortamının sağlanılması şeklinde düşünülebilir. İş sağlığı ve güvenliğinin amacı; iş kazası ve meslek hastalıklarının önlenmesi, çalışanların sosyal, ruhsal ve bedensel olarak tam iyilik halinin sağlanmasıdır. Ayrıca, üniversitelerde iş sağlığı ve güvenliği dersinin müfredata eklenmesi ile iş sağlığı ve güvenliği bilincinin kazanılması amaçlanmıştır. Zaman içerisinde İş Sağlığı ve Güvenliği alanında profesyonellere ihtiyaç duyularak İSG Uzmanlığı mesleği ortaya çıkmıştır. Üniversitelerde, önlisans ve lisansda İş Sağlığı ve Güvenliği programı açılarak sektörün ihtiyacı olan uzman ihtiyacının giderilmesi hedeflenmiştir. Programların kuruluşlarında alanından yetişmiş hoca olmadığından, fizik, kimya, biyoloji, mühendislik fakülteleri ve teknik eğitim fakültelerinde bulunan akademisyenler derse girmiştir. Zaman içerisinde İSG uzmanlığı ya da İSG eğitici belgesine sahip hocalar derse girerek, yüksek lisans ve doktora ile alanında yetişmiş akademisyenler yetişmeye başlanmıştır. Günümüzde alanında yetkin hocaların sayısı azdır. Belirli bir uzmanlık alanı hala yoktur. Bu çalışmada, Üniversitelerde İSG eğitimi veren akademisyenlerin İSG alanındaki akademik kariyerlerini, uzmanlık alanlarını, demografik yapılarını, bu alanda akademik kariyerlerine devam etmek isteyip istemediklerini incelemek üzerine yapılmış bir çalışmadır. Elde edilen veriler “IBM SPSS Statistics 22.0” programı ile analiz edildi. “Cronbach Alpha (α)” değeri 0.623 bulunarak çalışmanın güvenirliği sağlanmış oldu. Erkek, evli, C sınıfı belgesi, öğretim görevlisi akademisyenlerin çoğunlukta olduğunu görüyoruz. Ankete katılanların İş Sağlığı ve Güvenliği alanında doçent ünvanı almak istediklerini, İSG Programının mühendislik fakültesinde olması gerektiğini düşündüklerini görüyoruz. Sonuç olarak; İş Güvenliği alanında akademik çalışma yapan hocaların azınlıkta olduğunu görüyoruz. Bu sonuçlara göre İş Sağlığı ve Güvenliği alanında doçent ve prof ünvanına sahip hocaların yetişmesinin zaman alacağını söyleyebiliriz.
Providing competent Occupational Health and Safety training to students studying in the field of mapping, creating awareness of occupational health and safety in students, and providing a sufficient level of occupational health and safety, which is weak in the field of maps, contributes positively. It is difficult to control and monitor field workers who are in the map area. They encounter many hazards and are exposed to risk factors during field surveys and construction works. Health sector workers are exposed to many risk factors while serving people. According to the type of risks exposed, material and moral losses are experienced. The negative situations experienced during the pandemic process have once again revealed the importance of the concept of occupational disease for employees in the health sector. According to Occupational Health and Safety Law No. 6331, employer/employer representatives are obliged to provide occupational health and safety services to their employees. Health workers are faced with losing their health by being exposed to overwork, stress, mobbing, and physical risks. In this study, occupational health and safety perception levels were tried to be examined by conducting a survey study on health sector employees working in Çorum. The survey consists of 15 questions on demographic characteristics and occupational safety and a 45-item occupational safety scale in hospitals. It was seen that the majority of the participants are women, married, age group 20-28, public employees, have 0-5 years of experience, have a bachelor's degree, have more employees in the service and polyclinic, have nurses as a professional group, and have served in the same institution for 0-5 years. It has been determined that the perceived level of Occupational Health and safety is high in associate degree graduates and low in undergraduate graduates, they have heard about occupational health and safety and legislation, but they cannot benefit from OHS services sufficiently and their OHS perception level is low. The main reason why the occupational health and safety level of private hospital employees is higher than that of public employees is that while OHS is compulsory in the private sector, it is not compulsory in the public sector.
Workplaces are divided into three as very dangerous, dangerous and less dangerous according to the principle of the work done. When occupational accidents and diseases are mentioned, construction sites and mines are considered. However, although the probability of occupational accidents and diseases is low, most working areas throughout the country are offices. In the offices, there are obligations that the employer must fulfill according to the law numbered 6331. Employees in offices that accommodate employees from all levels of the public and private sector are likely to be exposed to risk factors. Office workers are most exposed to physical, psychosocial and ergonomic risk factors. The employer is likely to prevent work accidents and occupational diseases by providing a healthy and safe working environment for its employees. In this study, a questionnaire consisting of 28 questions was applied to examine the perception levels of physical, psychosocial and ergonomic risk factors for 246 office workers in public and private sector institutions in Samsun. The answers to the questionnaire questions were analyzed with the program "IBM SPSS Statistics 22.0" and the value of "Cronbach Alpha (α)" was found to be 0.667. The fact that α value is in the range of 0.6 <α <0.8 indicates that the study is reliable. As a result of the study, the majority of the participants are women, the 26-33 age group, undergraduate graduates and work in public institutions. We found that the level of perception of psychosocial risk factors depends on monthly income, the level of perception of ergonomic risk factors changes depending on the sector and weekly working period, and the level of perception of physical risk factors does not change depending on demographic data.
