Abstract:

 With scientific and technological developments, peoples welfare levels have increased. However, occupational accidents still continue to be an important problem in workplaces around the world. The aim of this study is to examine the necessary articles about the active journals, the most publishing countries, the most used keywords and research areas in the international and Turkish literature on occupational accidents. In this study, bibliometric analysis techniques were used to realize the purpose of the research and to find answers to the research questions. Research data were obtained from the Web of Science WoS database in June 2023. VOSviewer and Excel software program were used in the analysis of the data. While the highest number of publications on work accidents in the world was made in 2020, it was made in 2019 in Turkey. While the most publications were made in the field of public, environmental and occupational health as a research subject in the world, the most publications were made in the field of emergency medicine in our country. While Brazil is the most broadcasting country in the world, Turkey ranks third. It has been determined that the most widely published magazine in the world is Safety Science magazine and the most frequently used keyword is work accident. In addition, it has been determined that most of the publications addressing Türkiye were made in Istanbul University. As a result, it is seen that the studies carried out on occupational accidents in the world and in Turkey are not sufficient. In order to increase the productivity of the workplaces and the efficiency of the employees, the prevention of work accidents and increasing the number of researches in this field should be the first priority.
