12th INTERNATIONAL CONGRESS ON OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH, İstanbul, Türkiye, 20 Kasım 2025, ss.27-35, (Özet Bildiri)
The primary objective of occupational
health and safety management systems is to protect employee health and safety
at a safe level by reducing hazards and risks in the workplace. Within this
framework, the risk management process is at the heart of the system and is
implemented in integration with process safety management. The increasing level
of automation and complex working conditions in machine technologies
necessitate a systematic approach to safety throughout the lifecycle, from the
design phase to operation and maintenance. In this context, international
standards such as ISO 12100, ISO 13849-1, and EN 62061 establish the
fundamental framework for ensuring functional safety by mandating the
elimination of risks at their source in machine design and the determination of
the performance levels of safety control systems.
Research demonstrates that practices such
as emergency stop systems, protective barriers, ergonomic design, and lockout
tagout (LOTO) significantly reduce workplace accidents. Furthermore,
sensor-based monitoring, automation-supported safety mechanisms, and data analytics
enable the early identification of risks and the proactive management of
maintenance processes, strengthening safety in modern production environments.
In human-machine interactions, operator behavior, training processes, and the
development of a safety culture are among the fundamental factors determining
the sustainability of system safety.
This study examines the integration of
occupational safety in machine technologies with a holistic engineering
approach and evaluates the effects of safety-focused design, lifecycle-based
risk assessment, and technology-supported monitoring processes on industrial
safety performance. Ultimately, the findings demonstrate that safety has become
an integral component of machine technologies and is positioned as both a
mandatory and strategic requirement in future industrial standards.
