The purpose of this thesis is to examine the hazard identification, risk assessment and related determining controls aspects of occupational health and safety topic, within the framework of a safety management system, for the construction industry. To achieve this purpose, a literature survey is carried out with specific emphasis on the standards, guidelines, codes of practices and other documents published by authorized institutions and national legislation related with the subject. The Marmaray Project, which is considered as one of the major transportation infrastructure projects in Turkey, is chosen as the case study area. In the Marmaray Project, the case study is carried out at Üsküdar Underground Station Construction Site as an example for the cut and coverunderground station construction and at Yedikule Tunnel Construction Site for the tunnel construction and achieved results are assessed within the context of this thesis.

A system approach to occupational health and safety management
Gözüyılmaz, Cem; Esin, Alp; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2003)
In this thesis, methods used at present in occupational health and safety management are analyzed and a model safety management system is developed. History, development and recent occupational safety regulations in the United States of America and European Union are introduced to give a sight on this subject in developed countries. The suggested model is evaluated with work accident data taken from a company and hazard and risk analysis methods are used to investigate these accidents. Preventive measures t...
Seismic Risk Prioritization and Retrofit Cost Evaluation of Code-Deficient RC Public Buildings in Turkey
Sucuoğlu, Haluk; Yakut, Ahmet (SAGE Publications, 2015-02-01)
A risk prioritization procedure is developed for deficient concrete public buildings within the scope of a seismic risk reduction program. The main purpose is identifying public buildings with high damage risk in a region for efficient retrofit investments. Regularity of structural systems and repeatability of deficiencies in public buildings provide opportunities for developing simple and reliable assessment procedures. The proposed procedure is based on calculating a risk index from the comparison of late...
Occupational accidents and diseases in turkish construction industry
Taşyürek, Yunus Emre; Gündüz, Murat; Department of Civil Engineering (2007)
The aim of this thesis is to determine the state of occupational health and safety of the construction industry among other industries in Turkey. For this purpose, data such as the number of occupational diseases, the number of occupational injuries, the number of cases of permanent incapacity to work and the number of fatal occupational injuries in each industry are derived from official sources. The comparison of the construction industry with other industries in terms of occupational health and safety is...
Empowering Risk Communication: Use of Visualizations to Describe Project Risks
Atasoy Özcan, Güzide; Ertaymaz, Ugurcan; Dikmen Toker, İrem; Birgönül, Mustafa Talat (2022-05-01)
Risk information that is used during project risk identification and assessment should be communicated well to enable risk-informed decision making. This study aimed to use risk descriptors for risk contextualization and explore how visualization can improve the communication of project risk information. Risk descriptors (e.g., assumptions and controllability) were identified, and two workshops were held to verify the selected descriptors and explore the effectiveness of visualizations for risk communicatio...
Systemic seismic vulnerability and risk analysis for buildings, lifeline networks and infrastructures safety gain (SYNER-G)
Yakut, Ahmet(2013)
SYNER-G is research project which has the following main goals: (1) To elaborate appropriate, in the European context, fragility relationships for the vulnerability analysis and loss estimation of all elements at risk, for buildings, building aggregates, utility networks (water, waste water, energy, gas), transportation systems (road, railways, harbors) as well as complex medical care facilities (hospitals) and fire-fighting systems. (2) To develop social and economic vulnerability relationships for quantif...
