Occupational Health and Safety Risk Analysis in Trout Aquaculture Facility

Year 2021, Volume: 4 Issue: 3, 14 - 21, 31.12.2021

Abstract

The aquaculture sector, which responds to alternative food supply, continues to grow exponentially with each passing day. For this reason, there is a need for manpower to meet the increasing workload in aqua-culture facilities. As in every sector, occupational health and safety is quite important for employees in aquaculture. The current study focused on case scenarios that may occur in an integrated trout farming facility. Expert opinions for a total of 79 different case scenarios were evaluated. The case scenarios ana-lyzed with the 5x5 matrix method showed that high-risk cases can occur in the facility-wide, culture tanks, toilets and feed storage. The highest number of risks for all case scenarios is in the medium risk category. In the medium risk category, there is a potential for employees to encounter consequences such as death and loss of limbs, especially if the case scenarios foreseen for the facility are realized. The lowest risk averages for case scenarios collected in 4 clusters according to processes are dining hall and locker rooms.

Alabalık Yetiştiricilik Tesislerinde İş Sağlığı ve Güvenliği Risk Analizi

Abstract

Alternatif gıda arzına cevap veren su ürünleri sektörü her geçen gün katlanarak büyümeye devam etmekte-dir. Bu nedenle su ürünleri yetiştiricilik tesislerinde artan iş yükünü karşılayacak insan gücüne ihtiyaç vardır. Her sektörde olduğu gibi su ürünleri yetiştiriciliğinde de çalışanlar için iş sağlığı ve güvenliği olduk-ça önemlidir. Mevcut çalışma, entegre bir alabalık yetiştirme tesisinde meydana gelebilecek vaka senaryo-larına odaklanmıştır. Bu kapsamda toplam 79 farklı vaka senaryosu için uzman görüşleri değerlendirilmiş-tir. 5x5 matris yöntemi ile analiz edilen vaka senaryoları, tesis genelinde, kültür tanklarında, tuvaletlerde ve yem depolarında yüksek riskli vakaların oluşabileceğini göstermiştir. Tüm vaka senaryolarında en fazla risk sayısı orta risk kategorisinde gözlenmiştir. Orta risk kategorisinde, özellikle tesis için öngörülen vaka senaryolarının gerçekleşmesi durumunda çalışanların ölüm ve uzuv kaybı gibi sonuçlarla karşılaşma olası-lığı bulunmaktadır. Proseslere göre 4 kümede toplanan vaka senaryoları için en düşük risk ortalamaları yemekhane ve soyunma odalarıdır.
