With the collaboration of Çavdır Vocational School, Çavdır District Governorship, and Çavdır Municipality, draft risk analysis evaluations of public institutions and organizations operating in the district are being created by program students under the supervision of Occupational Health and Safety department faculty members. During field visits conducted under the supervision of faculty members with Occupational Health and Safety expertise to public institution workplaces subject to the Occupational Health and Safety Law in the district, program students prepare draft risk analyses and make a significant contribution to the provision of safe workplaces.
Within the framework of the collaboration, during visits to different public institution workplaces each week, potential hazards or risks that could cause work accidents and occupational diseases are classified and evaluated, and draft reports are prepared. The draft risk analysis evaluation reports are presented to the relevant department head following the visits. With this regularly conducted initiative, both students gain field experience and a significant contribution is made to the provision of occupational health and safety in the district.
