PROBLEMS OF TEXTILE DYEHOUSES: FROM EMPLOYEE'S PERSPECTIVE

Abstract

Basic components of the textile industry; are yarn, weaving, knitting, finishing, and clothing production technologies. Among these areas of textile, the dyehouses create big problems for both the employees and the environment. Because of in dyehouses, many aqueous processes which are prepared with chemical substances are used for bleaching, dyeing, and finishing processes of the fabric. Some of these chemicals used in these processes threaten the health of dyehouse employees. The fact that dyehouse employees cannot receive regular health care also reveals this threat (X̅= 2.63). In addition, the damage caused by dyehouses to the environment is also very important for the future of living spaces. Despite all these disadvantages, dyehouses are indispensable areas of the textile industry. For this reason, dyehouses are places that need to be examined carefully due to their versatile importance. In this study, it is aimed to determine the current conditions of the dyehouses and to give suggestions for their problems and their solutions. For this purpose, the opinions and suggestions of 156 dyehouse employees in 10 finishing enterprises located in Gaziantep Organized Industrial Zone on the current situation were analyzed.
