Özet:

 The furniture industry sector in Turkey provides an important employment area throughout the country with its small and medium-sized business structure. On the other hand, the sector is among the fields of activity in which the negativities in terms of occupational health and safety are experienced. In this context, a survey based on face-to-face interviews was conducted with a total of 54 employees. In the study, the situation of the workplaces and the opinions of the employees on the subject were tried to be determined with the propositions prepared in a 5-point Likert scale. In the study, besides the proportional comparisons on the data obtained, the Mann Witney U test was used in the analysis of occupational safety factors according to the variable of exposure to work accident. According to the findings, 67 of the participating enterprises have an operating period of less than 5 years. In addition, it has been determined that there are deficiencies in the use of personal protective equipment and periodic health examinations. While the occupational accident exposure of the participants was determined as 72, it was understood that the hands and fingers were predominantly injured limbs. On the other hand, it has been determined that occupational accident exposure creates statistically significant differences p0.05 regarding the views on occupational safety factors. As a result, it can be said that the culture of occupational health and safety is not sufficiently developed in small and medium-sized woodworking and furniture enterprises.

 Türkiyede mobilya endüstrisi sektörü küçük ve orta ölçekli işletme yapısıyla ülke genelinde önemli bir istihdam alanı sağlamaktadır. Diğer yandan sektör, iş sağlığı ve güvenliği hususunda olumsuzlukların fazlasıyla yaşandığı faaliyet alanları arasında yer almaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, sanayi bölgelerinden uzak küçük ve orta ölçekli ağaç işleri ve mobilya endüstrisi işletmelerinde iş sağlığı ve güvenliği koşullarının değerlendirilmesidir. Bu kapsamda toplam 54 çalışan ile yüz yüze görüşme esasına dayalı anket uygulaması gerçekleştirilmiştir. Çalışmada 5li likert ölçeğinde hazırlanmış önermeler ile işyerlerinin durumu ve çalışanların konuya ilişkin görüşleri tespit edilmeye çalışılmıştır. Araştırmada, elde edilen veriler üzerinde oransal karşılaştırmaların yanı sıra, iş kazasına maruz kalma değişkenine göre iş güvenliği faktörlerinin analizinde Mann Witney U testi kullanılmıştır. Elde edilen bulgular, katılımcı işletmelerin 67 oranında faaliyet süresinin 5 yılın altında olduğu belirlenmiştir. Ayrıca kişisel koruyucu donanım kullanımı ve periyodik sağlık muayenelerde eksikliklerin olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Katılımcıların iş kazası maruziyeti 72 olarak belirlenirken, el ve parmakların ağırlıklı yaralanan uzuvlar olduğu anlaşılmıştır. Diğer yandan iş kazası maruziyetinin iş güvenliği faktörlerine yönelik görüşlere ilişkin istatistiksel düzeyde anlamlı farklılıklar p0,05 oluşturduğu tespit edilmiştir. Sonuç olarak, küçük ve orta ölçekli ağaç işleri ve mobilya işletmelerinde iş sağlığı ve güvenliği kültürünün yeterince gelişmediği söylenebilir.
