Özet
Comparing its safety statistics with other countries one can conveniently assess the condition of a country in terms of occupational health and safety. In this study, it is aimed to evaluate the safety performance of Turkish coal mining industry by comparing its statistics with safety figures of some coal producing countries. The safety numbers of person injured and person deaths per million tons of coal produced, per thousand employees at work and per million hours of work were determined graphically for Turkey, USA, India, Poland, Australia and S. Africa. In the analysis, Turkish data were separated into three components as TKI, SSK and TTK in order to reflect the safety conditions of different sectors in this country. The collected data for all countries were averaged across last fifteen years in attempt to remove some of the statistical variations caused by annual fluctuations. According to statistical results, TKI compares well with the safety performance of other countries due to its lower fatality and injury rates, especially for per million tons of coal production and per thousand employees at work. On the other hand, TTK and SSK showed the highest rates in all figures comparing accident data owing to facts that its harsh working conditions of the former and its different reporting system of accident occurrences of the later.
