Abstract

The concept of work safety is a phenomenon that has emerged after the occurrence of work accidents. The work carried out to prevent or reduce occupational accidents constitutes work safety measures. According to the legislation in force in Turkey, at the beginning of work safety measures, it is necessary to remove the risk and combat the risk at its source. Furthermore, all the workplace protective measures and personal protective measures should be taken. Despite the fact that all these precautions are taken, it is fairly possible to experience work accidents. Because, the cause of some occupational accidents results from the human factor himself. It is therefore the primary goal of any business to ensure a perception of occupational health and safety culture so as to prevent occupational accidents for the employees to ensure a safe working environment. This study was conducted to interpret about the view of work safety and attitudes and behaviours of the employees of hospital laboratories. In the first part of the work, the introduction was made by commenting on the perception of work safety and the occupational accident. In the second part, the purpose, the method, and the difficulties that are experienced during the study are mentioned. The third chapter is allocated to provide information about the history of work safety in the world and in Turkey. The fourth part of the study examines the concepts in relation to the work safety, provides information on the culture of work safety and discusses the characteristics and influences of work safety culture. In the fifth chapter, we have briefly provided information about hospital laboratories and studies. In the sixth part of the study, the results of the questionnaire survey conducted were transferred to the related table and interpreted. In addition, in line with the purpose of the study, the findings about the study are explained and the results are evaluated
