In addition, with workshops and other trainings, it will be ensured that an OHS culture is created for employers and union members with issues such as the importance of family-based OHS culture and family in mining.

Activities / Outputs:

  • Awareness will be raised on OHS in mining, the family-based OHS model, and occupational diseases in mining.
  • Training on “OHS in Mining, Occupational Diseases in Mining and Family-Based OHS Training” will be provided in and outside Turkey to ensure that the staff specialise in the subject.
  • A scenario was designed for the simulation of “OHS in mining”, which includes at least three different topics.
  • A fully equipped OHS laboratory in the mining field and a “Simulated OHS training center” will be established in two vocational and technical Anatolian high schools.
  • “Health in the Mines” and “Home-Work Safety” trainings will be provided to mine employees, families of mine employees and non-governmental organisations.
  • With the “Family in Mining” training organised for employers, Employer Representatives and assigned occupational safety experts, perspective of employers on OHS training rules will be changed.
