Abstract

It is aimed to reveal the occupational accident situation, PPE usage situation and, accordingly, the difficulties that may be encountered in working and social life of the employees who work as a technical staff in a state university and the current job satisfaction, in this study. To calculate the findings of the study, percentage, frequency, mean and standard deviation have been used; to compare qualitative data chi-square test has been used and significance has been evaluated at p < .05 level. Spearman correlation analysis has been used to examine the relationship between variables. According to the results of the research, the majority of the employees do not receive any occupational safety training before and after they start work. Besides, according to the results of the study, it can be said that the expected and observed negativities will be minimized if the employees receive training on OHS materials.
