Abstract

Bu makale kapsamında, geçmiş dönemde yaşanmış yürüyen merdiven kazaları için kaza karakteristikleri ve risk faktörlerini dikkate alarak istatistiksel bir değerlendirme yapılması amaçlanmaktadır. Bu kapsamda 2013-2018 yılları arasında Türkiye’de yaşanmış 485 yürüyen merdiven kazası incelenmiştir. Bu çalışma kapsamında yaşanmış kazalar ile ilgili veriler İş Sağlığı ve Güvenliği Bilgi Yönetim Sistemleri üzerinden toplanmış olup, kazanın yeri, zamanı, yaş, cinsiyet, iş tecrübesi gibi kazazedeye yönelik tanımlayıcı bilgiler ile yaralanma durumu, iş göremezlik süreleri gibi kaza sonucuna ait bilgiler elde edilmiştir. İstatistiksel analizlerden sonra elde edilen sonuçlar ışığında, kazaların yaralanma türlerine göre toplamda 10 farklı kategoride yer aldığı tespit edilmiştir. Bu kategoriler içinde yüzeysel yaralanma ile sonuçlanan kazalar (%40,6) ilk sırada olup 308 iş günü kaybına sebep olmuştur. Burkulma, incinme başlığında yer alan kazalar tüm kazaların %23,2’si, açık yara ile sonuçlanan kazalar ise tüm kazaların %13’ünü oluşturmaktadır. Tüm kazaların %77,1’i 3 ve daha az iş günü kayıplı kazalardan oluşmaktadır. Mevcut kaza verilerine dayalı olarak hazırlanan bu çalışma çıktıları itibariyle yürüyen merdiven kazalarını önleme ve yürüyen merdivenlerle ilgili önleyici tedbirlerin alınmasında önceliklendirilecek çalışmalara karar verme noktasında katkı sunmaktadır.

Abstract

Within the scope of this article, it is aimed to make a statistical evaluation for escalator accidents experienced in the previous periods by taking into account the accident characteristics and risk factors. In this context, 485 escalators accident that occurred in Turkey between 2013 and 2018 have been investigated. In this study, data related to accidents have been collected through Occupational Health and Safety Information Management Systems, and descriptive information about casualty such as location, time, age, gender, work experience and information such as injury status and incapacity periods were obtained. The results obtained after statistical analysis show that accidents are classified into 10 different categories according to injury types. Among these categories, accidents resulting in superficial injuries were in the first place at 40.6%, causing a loss of 308 working days. Accidents in the sprain and strain account for 23.2% of all accidents and accidents resulting in open wounds account for 13% of all accidents. 77.1% of all accidents are accidents with loss of 3 days and less working days. As a result of this study, that is prepared based on the existing accident data, it contributes to the prevention of escalator accidents and the decisions to be prioritized in taking preventive measures related to escalators.
