According to data released by the International Labor Organization, there are around 3 billion employees worldwide (of which 1.2 billion are female employees). Again around the world, there are around 1 million work accidents every day. The financial dimension of this frightening figure is 4 per cent of the total gross product worldwide. 2.3 million employees die annually due to occupational accidents and diseases. Many more employees are injured and can no longer work.
Therefore, even the smallest improvements to be made in the working life are of great importance for human health and life safety. With the development of industry and the recovery of the economy, there has been an increase in employment in recent years and great care has been taken to improve working conditions. Official institutions also make necessary legal arrangements in this direction and supervise their implementation.
The way to ensure occupational health and safety is not only to comply with the rules, but also to adopt a curative and preventive approach. In order to establish healthy and safe work environments and to prevent occupational accidents and diseases, this culture should be established in the enterprises. In this context, employers and employees must also take responsibility and protect their rights to occupational health and safety.
The Occupational Health and Safety Law enacted by the Ministry of Labor and Social Security describes the duties, powers, responsibilities, rights and obligations of enterprises and employees in terms of ensuring occupational health and safety in enterprises and improving the existing conditions.
According to this law, employers have to take into account the following principles while fulfilling their occupational health and safety obligations:
- Avoiding possible risks
- To analyze the risks that cannot be avoided
- To combat all kinds of risks at source
- To pay attention to the design of the work environment, the equipment to be used, the way of working and the methods of production
- To prevent or to prevent the negative effects of the uniform working mode or production tempo on health and safety, or to minimize its effects if it cannot be prevented.
- To adapt to technological developments
- Replacing hazardous methods, equipment or working methods with non-hazardous ones
- Develop a coherent prevention policy by considering factors such as work environment, work organization, working conditions and social relations.
- Giving priority to collective protection measures over personal protection measures
- Instructing employees in line with their capacity
