The concept of occupational health and safety is defined in the
TS 18001 Occupational Health and Safety Management System as
"conditions and factors that may affect the health and safety of
employees in the workplace, including temporary workers,
subcontractor personnel, visitors, and other people in the working
area" (TS 18001, 2012). According to Article 8 of the Occupational
Health and Safety Risk Assessment Regulation, in the section on
hazard identification, it is stated that "hazards arising from or the
interaction of physical, chemical, biological, psychosocial, ergonomic,
and similar sources of danger present in the working environment
should be identified and recorded, taking into account the relevant
regulations in occupational health and safety legislation, and
considering those who will be affected and how they will be affected"
(Occupational Health and Safety Risk Assessment Regulation, 2012).
The main aim of the steps taken in occupational health and
safety is to protect the employee, improve the workplace for the
worker, increase work productivity, and ensure the safety of the
workplace. The Occupational Health and Safety system, which aims to eliminate both material and moral losses, should be prioritized for
employees, employers, and the government.
