Journal Title: Journal of International Health Sciences and Management - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 6
Abstract
A wide variety of emergencies adversely affect workplaces and employee health. Besides, large-scale disasters cause material damage in large proportions and most importantly threaten working life too. This study was carried out by conducting a survey in the workplaces which are situated in Gümüşhane and Trabzon province in order to evaluate knowledge level and attitude of the employees about institutional applications related to Occupational Health and Safety (OSH) and “Regulation on Emergencies in Workplaces” that published in 2013 in Turkey. The study was planned as a quantitative research. A Total of 31 public and private enterprises, 20 from Gümüşhane and 11 from Trabzon, participated in the study. A total of 31 public and private enterprises from Gümüşhane and 11 from Trabzon participated in the study. A total of 563 employee questionnaires were validated and analyzed. 563 employees participated in the study. 325 of them were workers, 16 were chief-foremen, 129 were technical staff, 46 were administrative staff, and 30 were managers. As a result, while the knowledge level of the employees about legal issues is sufficient, there is a deficiency about considering the subject significant and about implementation. It is believed that providing training for the employees by related enterprises will have a positive impact on the employees’ opinion about OSH.
