Abstract

Occupational accidents and occupational diseases are an important problem in working life. It is important to utilize statistical data to prevent and reduce these problems. Statistics provides a numerical expression of occupational accidents and occupational diseases. These data help to determine in which sectors, in which occupations, in which age groups and in which genders the problems are more common. This information is used to determine the measures to be taken to prevent and reduce the problems. In this study, studies on occupational diseases and occupational accidents using statistical methods were examined. Statistical studies have been found to be guiding in issues such as performance monitoring, making comments on the current situation and taking precautions for the future.

Meslek Hastalıkları Ve İş Kazaları İle İlgili İstatistiksel Çalışmalar: Literatür Taraması

Abstract

İş kazası ve meslek hastalıkları, çalışma yaşamında önemli bir sorundur. Bu sorunların önlenmesi ve azaltılması için istatistiksel verilerden yararlanmak önemlidir. İstatistik, iş kazası ve meslek hastalıklarının sayısal olarak ifade edilmesini sağlar. Bu veriler, sorunların hangi sektörlerde, hangi mesleklerde, hangi yaş gruplarında ve hangi cinsiyetlerde daha fazla olduğunun belirlenmesine yardımcı olur. Bu bilgiler, sorunların önlenmesi ve azaltılması için alınacak önlemlerin belirlenmesinde kullanılır. Bu çalışmada meslek hastalıkları ve iş kazaları ile ilgili istatistiksel yöntemler kullanılarak yapılmış çalışmalar incelenmiştir. İstatistiksel çalışmaların performans izleme, mevcut durum hakkında yorumlar yapma ve gelecek hakkında önlem alma gibi konularda yol gösterici olduğu görülmüştür.
