Sözcü Gazetesi has drawn attention to insufficient safety standards in workplaces and warned against a repeat of the Soma mining disaster. It is argued that measures taken since the 2014 Soma incident, in which 301 workers lost their lives, have proven inadequate.
According to the claim, legal obligations are still not being fully met in many facilities. Experts are calling for stricter inspection mechanisms to be established regarding worker health and safety.
Ten years after the Soma mining disaster in 2014 in which 301 workers lost their lives, experts warn that safety standards in workplaces remain insufficient and legal obligations are not being fully implemented. There is a risk of similar disasters recurring due to inspection mechanisms remaining only on paper.
Security gaps in workplaces, particularly in the mining and construction sectors, mean that as an employee or worker you may be at risk of occupational accidents. It is emphasized that state inspection capacity must be increased and sanctions against employers must be strengthened; without these reforms, safe working conditions for workers cannot be guaranteed.
