Abstract
6331 Sayılı İş Sağlığı ve Güvenliği Kanunu 30 Haziran 2012 Tarihinde Resmi Gazetede yayınlanarak yürürlüğe girmiştir. 2003 yılında yürürlüğe giren 4857 sayılı İş Yasasına göre daha ayrıntılı düzenlemeler içeren yeni yasa, işverene yeni ve oldukça fazla yükümlülükler getirmektedir. Bu yükümlülüklerin en başında ise, risk değerlendirmesi gelmektedir. Risk değerlendirmesini yapmamak işçilerin iş kazaları ve meslek hastalıklarına uğrama riskini artıracaktır. Risk değerlendirmesinin yapılmaması hukuki açıdan da; işyerinde işin durdurulması ve işyerinin kapatılması ile sonuçlanabilecektir. Bu çalışmada İş Sağlığı ve Güvenliği Kanunu ile özellikle Risk Değerlendirme Yönetmeliği ve bağlantılı yayınlar çerçevesinde, risk değerlendirmesine ilişkin ayrıntıların ortaya konulması amaçlanmış ve örnek tablolar yardımıyla risk değerlendirmesinin nasıl yapılması gerektiği belirgin hale getirilmeye çalışılmıştır. Kaynak tarama yöntemi ile yapılan çalışma, eski yönetmeliklerde yeterince yer almayan, risk değerlendirmesinin anlam ve önemine de dikkat çekmektedir. Çalışma, risk değerlendirmesi sırasında, işyerindeki tüm tehlikelerin dikkate alınmasının; risk değerlendirmesinin formlar, tablolar, şeklinde yazılı belgeler haline getirilmesinin; sürekli olarak denetlenmesinin ve işçilerin bilgilendirilmesinin; işveren, işçi, iş güvenliği uzmanı, işyeri hekimi, çalışan temsilcisi ve diğer görevlilerin uyum ha linde çalışmalarının ve birbirlerini sürekli bilgilendirmelerinin önemini ortaya koyarken, yapılan iş ve işlemlerin kağıt üzerinde kalmaması, mutlaka uygulama amacı taşıması gerektiğine işaret etmektedir.
