Abstract:

 Water is the most basic need of living things. Today, unusable water is made usable by being subjected to processes in wastewater treatment plants. Wastewater treatment facilities are in the very hazardous class according to the Workplace Hazard Classes Communiqué on Occupational Health and Safety. If necessary, precautions are not taken in these facilities, serious occupational accidents may occur. Additionally, various diseases may occur among employees. In order to provide a safe working environment for employees, hazards and risks in the facilities must first be determined and then a risk assessment must be made. In this study, the hazards and risks in the Adana ASKI Seyhan Wastewater Treatment Plant were determined on both health and safety basis. The risk assessment was carried out according to the L-type matrix method in order to determine whether the working environment and equipment are safe, whether what the new measures are. High-level risks identified in the facility include fire, electric shock, work accidents, falling into the pool, poisoning, and methane gas explosion. Digester tanks, facility general, workshops, transformer building, gas desulfurization unit, gas generator and boiler unit, service water pump unit have been identified as high-risk sections and equipment. With a number of corrective and preventive actions, high level risks and medium level risks identified within the facility have been transformed into low level risks.

 Su canlıların en temel ihtiyacıdır. Günümüzde kullanılamaz haldeki sular, atıksu arıtma tesislerinde birtakım işlemlere tabi tutularak kullanılabilir hale getirilmektedir. Atıksu arıtma tesisleri İş Sağlığı ve Güvenliğine İlişkin İşyeri Tehlike Sınıfları Tebliğine göre, çok tehlikeli sınıfta yer almaktadır. Bu tesislerde gerekli önlemler alınmadığında ciddi iş kazaları meydana gelebilir. Ayrıca, çalışanlarda çeşitli hastalıklar görülebilir. Çalışanlara güvenli çalışma ortamı sağlamak için, öncelikle tesislerdeki tehlikeler ve riskler belirlenmeli, daha sonra risk değerlendirmesi yapılmalıdır. Bu çalışmada Adana ASKİ Seyhan Atıksu Arıtma tesisindeki tehlikeler ve riskler hem sağlık hem de güvenlik esaslı olarak belirlenmiştir. Çalışma ortamlarının ve donanımlarının güvenli olup olmadığının belirlenmesi, alınması gereken önlemlerin tespiti için L tipi matris yöntemi esas alınarak risk değerlendirmesi yapılmıştır. Tesiste tespit edilen yüksek düzeydeki riskler, yangın, elektrik çarpması, iş kazası, havuza düşme, zehirlenme, metan gazı patlamasıdır. Çürütücü tanklar, tesis geneli, atölyeler, trafo binası, gaz desülfürizasyon ünitesi, gaz jeneratörü ve boyler ünitesi, servis suyu pompa ünitesi yüksek düzeyde risk içeren bölümler ve ekipmanlar olarak belirlenmiştir. Birtakım düzeltici önleyici faaliyetler ile tesis içinde belirlenen yüksek düzey riskler ve orta düzey riskler, düşük düzey risklere dönüştürülmüştür.
