Özet:

 Excavation and earthworks are considered fundamental activities within the construction sector, and therefore, accidents occurring during excavation work cannot be separated from general accidents within the construction industry. These activities entail a range of hazards and risks, highlighting the critical importance of taking necessary precautions and providing training before commencing excavation work. The aim is to eliminate potential risks at their source by using appropriate equipment and adopting suitable excavation methods. If risks cannot be entirely eliminated, it is crucial to reduce them to acceptable levels by ensuring that workers use appropriate personal protective equipment, conducting regular maintenance of vehicles and equipment, and providing ongoing training. In this study, an incident that occurred during excavation work in Iğdır province was evaluated through a Fishbone analysis within the context of cause-and-effect relationships. The origins of the accident were thoroughly examined, and the results were assessed. Factors such as the absence of occupational health and safety measures, lack of workplace organization, and absence of trained personnel were identified as contributors to increased accident probability. Additionally, the study suggests that along with the absence of preventive measures, post-accident protective measures were also inadequate. It emphasizes that individuals lacking sufficient knowledge during rescue operations exacerbate the situation. Furthermore, it was concluded that activities performed by individuals lacking adequate knowledge of the equipment and machinery used in excavation work pose higher risks. The necessity of fostering a culture of occupational health and safety is underscored, highlighting its role in anticipating potential accidents and adhering to necessary procedures.

 Kazı ve hafriyat işleri, inşaat sektörünün temel faaliyet alanlarından biri olarak kabul edilir ve bu nedenle, kazı işlerinde meydana gelen iş kazaları genel inşaat sektöründeki iş kazalarından ayrı düşünülemez. Bu faaliyetler, bir dizi tehlikeyi ve riski içerir, bu yüzden hafriyat işine başlamadan önce gerekli önlemlerin alınması ve eğitimlerin verilmesi kritik önem taşır. Doğru ekipmanların kullanılması ve uygun kazı yöntemlerinin benimsenmesi, olası risklerin mümkün olduğunca kaynağında ortadan kaldırılmasını amaçlar. Eğer riskler tamamen ortadan kaldırılamıyorsa, kabul edilebilir seviyelere indirilmesi için çalışanların uygun kişisel koruyucu ekipmanları kullanması, araç ve ekipmanların düzenli bakımının yapılması ve düzenli eğitimlerin verilmesi son derece önemlidir. Bu çalışmada, Iğdır ilinde yürütülen hafriyat işleri sırasında meydana gelen bir iş kazası neden-sonuç ilişkisi çerçevesinde Balık Kılçığı analizi ile değerlendirilmiştir. Kazanın kökenleri detaylı bir şekilde incelenmiş ve sonuçlar değerlendirilmiştir. Olayın iş sağlığı ve güvenliği önlemlerinin alınmadan gerçekleşmesi, iş yeri düzeninin sağlanmaması ve eğitimli personelin görevlendirilmemesi gibi faktörlerin, kaza olasılığını artıran nedenler arasında yer aldığı belirtilmiştir. Çalışmada, kazayı önleyici tedbirlerin alınmamasıyla birlikte, kazadan sonra koruyucu önlemlerin yetersiz olduğu da öne sürmektedir. Özellikle kurtarma çalışmalarında yeterli bilgiye sahip olmayan kişilerin, kurtarma operasyonları sırasında zararın artmasına yol açtığı vurgulanmıştır. Hafriyat işinde kullanılan ekipman ve iş makineleri hakkında yeterli bilgiye sahip olmayan kişilerin faaliyetlerinin daha yüksek riskler taşıdığı sonucuna varılmıştır. İş sağlığı ve güvenliği kültürünün geliştirilmesi gerekliliği vurgulanarak, bu kültürün işlerde olası kazaları öngörmeyi ve gereken prosedürlere uygun davranmayı içerdiği önemle vurgulanmıştır.
