School directors have various responsibilities arising from the Law No. 6331 on Occupational Health and Safety and the legislation relating to this law. In terms of health and safety services, the responsibilities of school managers are related to high-risk issues and include risk prevention, identification and assessment of risk-making situations. This research, which focuses on the thoughts of school managers about their responsibilities arising from the work health and safety legislation, was carried out by the method of consultation and the event model of the quality research methods. The study was attended by 15 school directors who worked as school director in Mersin or public schools in the 2017-2018 educational year. An open-end semi-configured interview form developed by researchers was used to determine the opinions of school managers. According to the research, most school managers believe they have a lot of responsibility for work health and safety. In addition, school managers point out that the existing occupational health and safety responsibilities should be balanced with the same level of authority. School managers express the inadequacy of the risk assessment responsibility of many buildings in terms of their professions. School managers have recommendations that many material resources should be improved, especially because the possibility of the schools to make corrections and improvements in their physical conditions is limited.
