- Abstract
Paralleling with the increase in the number of employees in Turkey, a significant increase is being observed in occupational accidents. Risks at workplaces are not considered to be caused by workers. However, when the risks in the workplace are considered to be work-related, taking all protective occupational health and safety measures against workrelated hazards and risks such as the use of protective clothing, measures to be taken against chemical substances as well as falling down from height, work accidents caused by machines, the structure of the working environment, as well as continuous and periodically monitoring of the implementation of those measures becomes inevitable. In this context, inspection is an important issue in occupational health and safety. In occupational health and safety, inspection means not only preventing the occurrence of accidents, but also ensuring healthy and safe working conditions by considering many aspects thereof. In order to succeed at the occupational health and safety (OHS) inspection, the employees and managers of the enterprise, the relevant persons and institutions outside the enterprise, the public and private organizations providing occupational health and safety services must act together and assist each other with this subject. In this regard, establishments can perform in-company inspections or they can pass an OHS inspection by utilising support from off-company organizations. Yet, in Turkey the most effective control is public control, as is in many European Union (EU) countries. Occupational health and safety inspection, a part of labour inspection in Turkey, is carried out by the Labour Inspection Board of the Ministry of Labour and Social Security in two ways - "scheduled inspection" and "non-programmed inspection in the form of examining". One of the conclusions of this study is that in Turkey, significant improvements can be achieved in the workplaces inspected. However, a further conclusion of this study is that in parallel with the increase in the number of workplaces and employees and work accidents and occupational diseases in Turkey, the necessity of increasing the number of inspectors and inspections in the field of occupational health and safety.
