Özet:

 In this study, the solid waste facility in Gümüşhane province was examined in terms of occupational health and safety using the Elmeri method. The solid waste management process includes steps such as waste collection, transportation, separation, recycling and disposal. What may potentially arise in these processes; Cuts and punctures that may occur due to the presence of sharp-edged and piercing materials during the waste collection process, waist and back injuries related to lifting heavy loads during the transportation of waste, poisoning or respiratory diseases due to the leakage of chemical substances or inhalation of these substances during the separation process, the use of machines used in the recycling process or There are dangers such as accidents such as breaking, crushing or burning related to misuse of equipment, and explosion or fire risks that may occur during waste disposal. These hazards were identified using the Elmeri method, the exposure level of employees and the environment to these hazards was assessed, and the resulting risks were identified. The results obtained can be an important resource for facility managers and relevant stakeholders and help take more effective measures in solid waste management. Within the scope of this study, a total of 490 observations were made in the study areas according to the methods collected under 7 main headings specified in the Elmeri method. While 239 of the observations indicate correct security behaviors and situations, 255 indicate incorrect security behaviors and situations. According to the observation results, the current safety index in the study areas was calculated as 48.3.

 Bu çalışmada, Gümüşhane ilindeki katı atık tesisinin iş sağlığı ve güvenliği Elmeri yöntemi kullanılarak incelenmiştir. Katı atık yönetim süreci, atık toplama, taşıma, ayrıştırma, geri dönüşüm ve bertaraf gibi adımları içermektedir. Bu süreçlerde potansiyel olarak ortaya çıkabilecek; atık toplama sürecinde, keskin kenarlı ve delici maddelerin bulunmasıyla oluşabilecek kesilmeler ve delinmeler, atıkların taşınması sırasında ağır yüklerin kaldırılmasıyla ilgili bel ve sırt yaralanmaları, ayrıştırma işlemi sırasında kimyasal maddelerin sızması veya bu maddelerin solunmasıyla ilgili zehirlenme veya solunum yolu rahatsızlıkları, geri dönüşüm sürecinde kullanılan makinelerin veya ekipmanların yanlış kullanımıyla ilgili kırılma, ezilme veya yakma gibi kazalar, atıkların bertaraf edilmesi sırasında oluşabilecek patlama veya yangın riskleri gibi tehlikeler mevcuttur. Bu tehlikeler, Elmeri yöntemi kullanılarak tanımlanmış, çalışanların ve çevrenin bu tehlikelere maruz kalma düzeyi değerlendirilmiş ve ortaya çıkan riskler belirlenmiştir. Elde edilen sonuçlar, tesis yöneticileri ve ilgili paydaşlar için önemli bir kaynak olabilir ve katı atık yönetiminde daha etkili önlemlerin alınmasına yardımcı olabilir. Bu çalışma kapsamında Elmeri yönteminde belirtilen 7 ana başlık altında toplanan metodlara göre çalışma alanlarında toplam 494 adet gözlem yapılmıştır. Yapılan gözlemlerden 239 tanesi doğru güvenlik davranışı ve durumları belirtirken 255 tanesi yanlış güvenlik davranış ve durumlarını belirtmektedir. Gözlem sonuçlarına göre çalışma alanlarındaki mevcut güvenlik endeksi  48,3 olarak hesaplanmıştır.
