    Yeraltı metal maden işletmelerinde iş kazaları ve alınan iş güvenliği önlemleri

    This study examines occupational accidents and occupational health and safety practices in underground mining operations, taking the Bitlis–Mutki Yazıcık Copper Mine as a case study. The mining sector, while contributing significantly to the economy, is also one of the most critical industries in terms of the frequency and severity of workplace accidents. In this context, the study discusses the role, importance, and production methods of mining in Turkey, and analyzes major underground mining accidents that have occurred in Turkey and worldwide since 1980. The fundamental principles, advantages, and risks of underground mining methods—particularly sublevel caving and cut-and-fill—were evaluated through a comprehensive literature review. Occupational health and safety practices were compared within the framework of national and international regulations. Fieldwork was conducted at the copper mine operating in the Bitlis–Mutki Yazıcık region. Production processes, safety precautions, occupational health and safety practices, and the condition of the equipment used were directly observed on site. The use of personal protective equipment, ventilation systems, gas monitoring, electrical safety, ground support, and fire and explosion prevention measures were examined in detail and compared with regulatory requirements. This research provides recommendations for improving occupational health and safety practices in underground mining operations.
