Abstract:

 Effective safety management involves identifying hazards before accidents and illnesses occur, taking necessary precautions and paying attention to the human factor. One method of determining this is to measure safety through indicators such as safety climate or safety culture. Lack of safety awareness in working environments causes many losses in terms of direct and indirect costs. It is known that the ma-jority of occupational accidents are caused by the employee. This study was conducted to determine the safety climate in furniture sector employees. The population of the study consists of furniture enterprises located in İnegöl district of Bursa province. The Nordic Safety Climate Questionnaire NOSACQ-50, which is used to determine and evaluate the safety climate of employees, was used to obtain the study data. The questionnaire was applied to 6 furniture factory employees who accepted the study 105 question-naires and evaluated using SPSS statistical 20.0 package program. As a result of the study, it was deter-mined that safety sensitivity was high in female employees, the issue of safety priority and not accepting risk was important in middle-aged employees, and primary school graduates were open to developments according to educational status.

 Etkili bir güvenlik yönetimi kazalar ve hastalıklar ortaya çıkmadan tehlikelerin belirlenmesini, gerekli önlemlerin alınmasını ve insan faktörüne dikkat edilmesini kapsar. Bunun tespit edilmesinin bir yöntemi de güvenlik iklimi ya da güvenlik kültürü gibi göstergeler aracılığı ile güvenliğin ölçülmesidir. Çalışma ortamlarında güvenlik bilincinin eksik olması doğrudan ve dolaylı maliyetler olarak birçok kayba neden olmaktadır. İş kazalarının çoğunluğunun çalışandan kaynaklı olarak gerçekleştiği bilinmektedir. Bu çalışma mobilya sektörü çalışanlarında güvenlik ikliminin belirlenmesi amacıyla gerçekleştirilmiştir. Çalışmanın evrenini Bursa ili İnegöl ilçesinde yer alan mobilya işletmeleri oluşturmaktadır. Çalışma verilerinin elde edilmesinde, çalışanların güvenlik ikliminin belirlenmesi ve değerlendirilmesi için kullanılan Nordic Güvenlik İklimi Anketi NOSACQ-50 kullanılmıştır. Anket çalışmayı kabul eden 6 adet mobilya fabrikası çalışanlarına uygulanmış 105 anket ve SPSS istatistiksel 20,0 paket programı kullanılarak değerlendirilmiştir. Çalışma sonucunda kadın çalışanlarda güvenlik hassasiyetinin yüksek olduğu, orta yaş grubu çalışanlarda güvenlik önceliği konusunun ve riski kabul etmeme durumunun önemli olduğu, eğitim durumuna göre ilkokul mezunlarının gelişmelere açık olduğu tespit edilmiştir.
