Bir Yeraltı Altın Madeninde Kişisel Koruyucu Donanımlar İçin Risk Değerlendirilmesi

Abstract

To create safe working environments in terms of occupational health and safety, the possible risks are first determined by the risk analysis method and collective protection is provided by taking protective and preventive measures against these risks. However, when collective protection cannot be provided, the use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) occurs. In this study, first of all, the PPE used by the mine workers in an underground gold mine was determined and then the risk analysis was performed by using the Risk Assessment Matrix (L-Type) method for the cases where the employees did not use PPE. Hazards and risks that may arise when PPE is not used have been identified by making on-site investigations in underground conditions. As a result of the study, the risk assessments for almost all PPE materials used in underground gold mine were found to be Unacceptable and Notable Risk. Measures to be taken were also evaluated in the study.
