    A study on the effectiveness of occupational health and safety trainings of construction workers in Turkey
    (Elsevier Science Bv, 2018) Basaga, Hasan Basri; Temel, Bayram Ali; Atasoy, Muzaffer; Yildirim, Ibrahim
    In this study, profiles of the employees working in construction sector and who are to be educated in Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) have been investigated and the perspectives of the employees on OHS have been presented in order for the OHS trainings to be provided effectively. In accordance with this purpose, a face-to-face survey was carried out practically with the employees in the construction sector in Turkey. It has been researched whether the age, educational level, knowledge, etc. characteristics of the employees that work in the constructions sites, defined as very hazardous occupations, vary. The level of employees' knowledge about OHS and how to provide OHS trainings to the employees accordingly have been studied. These findings may be valid for other developing countries with a similar working climate or may be regarded as a preliminary study. In this context, general findings may be a different benchmark not only for international but also for academic and practical comparisons.

    A Study on the Use of Personal Protective Equipment among Construction Workers in Türkiye
    (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2024) Atasoy, Muzaffer; Temel, Bayram Ali; Basaga, Hasan Basri
    This study examines the habits and attitudes of construction sector employees in Türkiye regarding the use of personal protective equipment (PPE). A comprehensive face-to-face survey was conducted with 398 randomly selected employees from small- and medium-sized construction companies across various regions of Türkiye. The survey aimed to identify the frequency of PPE usage and the factors influencing its use and to provide actionable suggestions for improving PPE compliance. The results indicate that while a majority of workers recognize the importance of PPE, actual usage rates are inconsistent. Key factors affecting PPE use include the ergonomics and comfort of the equipment as well as worker perceptions and attitudes. Notably, the study found that the discomfort associated with PPE and the belief that it slows down work pace are significant barriers to its regular use. Additionally, the research highlights the need for a robust punishment–reward system to enforce PPE compliance and suggests that more stringent legislative measures are required to enhance occupational health and safety (OHS) standards in the construction industry. This study contributes to the existing body of knowledge by providing a detailed analysis of PPE usage in the Turkish construction sector and offering practical recommendations for policymakers and industry stakeholders. Implementing these suggestions can lead to improved worker safety and reduced occupational accidents. © 2024 by the authors.
