Abstract

The aim of this study is to determine school Occupational Health and Safety [OHS] performance indicators by revealing the opinions of school administrators about the effectiveness of OHS implementation. In line with this purpose, a semi-structured interview form was created. This method was applied randomly to ten school administrators working in public and private, primary, secondary, and high schools with 50 or more employees affiliated to the Ministry of National Education [MoNE] with criterion sampling, one of the purposeful sampling method types. Because of the analyses, six main categories were reached: OHS Education Effectiveness, OHS Awareness, OHS Material Effectiveness, OHS Managerial Effectiveness, Teacher and Student OHS Attitudes and Behaviors, and OHS Effectiveness in Pandemic. The main category of OHS Material Effectiveness is divided into three subcategorie: “Visual Material intelligibility”, “Visual Material Effectiveness”, “OHS Material Use Adequacy”. OHS Managerial Effectiveness: It was divided into two subcategorie: “Managerial Duty and Responsibility Awareness” and “Managerial Problems Encountered and Solutions”. It is expected that the findings will greatly contribute to the creation of indicator of school OHS performance. At the end of the research, researchers may be advised to The Occupational Health and Safety Management System [OHSAS] can be developed only for schools and studies on school safety coaching can be conducted.
