Özet

Occupational accidents have become a globalized problem not only in certain countries but also all over the world. The structure of the construction sector developing in integration with technological change shaped by the necessity of meeting the human needs reaching serious dimensions emerges as a result of globalization and for this reason, it makes occupational health measures more important every passing day. Thus, the construction sector which is the leading sector with regards to the cause of occupational accidents, needs the required field works and academic studies in order to take indispensable measures and precautions in terms of occupational health and safety culture and discipline. In this study, it is aimed to evaluate the trends of occupational accidents on city basis and to obtain risk ranking. In this direction, the contributions of cities to occupational accidents have been evaluated by multi-criteria decision-making methods, which cities required the most measures in terms of occupational health and safety (OHS) have been determined and the data have been evaluated specific to the construction industry. ENTROPY weighting method has been used to determine the significance of interaction between years and occupational accident years. According to the results of PROMETHEE II, GRA and OCRA MCDM (Multi Criteria Decision Making) methods, the cities where occupational accidents are of the highest importance have been identified as Istanbul, Izmir and Ankara, respectively.
