TÜRKİYE’DE MESLEK HASTALIĞI GERÇEĞİ
THE REALITY OF OCCUPATIONAL DISEASES IN TURKEY

Summary/Abstract: In this study, the reality of occupational diseases data in Turkey was examined. The main point of departure in the study was taken as the point of departure from the assumption that the data on occupational diseases are not healthy and there are many reasons for this. For this purpose, laws, regulations and statistical data were examined in order to evaluate the study. In this context, personal observations have been instructive. In this study, important studies on this subject are discussed. In the study, first of all, the concept of occupational disease and its elements were examined. Occupational disease data of the social security institution and occupational diseases resulting in death were examined within the framework of the years 2007-2021. The legal, institutional structure and detection process of occupational disease were examined. In the evaluation part, the reasons for the deficiencies of the statistical data were presented with reasons and it was concluded that the data were not healthy. Our assumption that the data of the Social Security institution on occupational diseases is incomplete has been confirmed and suggestions have been made on what changes will occur if the main causes such as legal, institutional, personal, auditing and informality are eliminated.
