| description | <b>Aim:</b> The study aims to reveal the risks that veterinarians who work
in the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry in Turkey faced and/or
may face in terms of occupational health safety and to develop a questionnaire
regarding the issue.<p>
<b>Materials and Methods:</b> The population of the study was made up
of veterinarians serving in the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry.
The provinces from which the representative samples will be taken
were determined by taking into consideration the presence of Ministry
affiliated institutions and the potential of participating groups
that are included in the sample to be present, based on Turkey's geographical
regions. A total of 630 official veterinarians participated
in the survey. The obtained data were analysed using SPSS 25 Statistical
Program.<p>
<b>Results: </b>The study determined the situations that the participants
may face the most in terms of occupational health safety as accident
risk, contagious disease and skin diseases while the situations to be
faced the least were heavy load, frazzle, damaging the equipment or
products and being exposed to physical violence.<p>
<b>Conclusion:</b> An important condition of providing quality veterinarian
service for public and animal health is healthy veterinarians and
this may possibly be provided with a working environment where
the elements of occupational health and safety are adequate. It may
be asserted that the provision of this environment is one of the preliminary
and important duties of the Ministry and to this end, employees'
occupational health safety must be planned and all types of
measures must be taken. |
