Especially, the increase in health and safety problems faced by hospital workers necessitates the development of an occupational health and safety (OHS) management system model specific to the health sector. Existing health and safety management systems generally do not sufficiently take sectoral dynamics into account, and the adaptation of these standards to the sectors is left to the individual efforts of the users. This situation leads to management systems that lack a sector-specific approach and do not adopt a common language and methodology. Methods: The aim of this study was to create an OHS management system specific to the health sector. While developing the model, AHP and DEMATEL, which are multi-criteria decision-making methods that help people to make complex decisions, were used. Results: By applying these methods, important criteria for the proposed model were determined. The criteria, including Improvement of the management system of the health institution, Determination of control measures, Assessment of risks specific to the health institution, Identifying hazards specific to the health institution and Determining its context, have been determined as priority criteria and weighted using the AHP and DEMATEL methods. Conclusions: As a result of the findings of this research, designing a unique occupational health and safety (OHS) management system that takes into account the dynamics of the health sector will contribute to the prevention of occupational accidents and occupational diseases in the health sector.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessmulti-criteria decision-making; DEMATEL; AHP; management system; occupational health; occupational safety; healthcare workerArticle339942460Q113WOS:001418394700001Q2
