Özet:

In this study, the fatalistic perspectives of workers in the catering sector on occupational health and safety were investigated. Although the catering sector is an important area in terms of the food industry and the size of the number of employees, it is an area where occupational health and safety is not given sufficient importance due to the insufficient attention to occupational safety or the fact that the majority of occupational accidents that occur are simple injuries. This study was conducted as a survey with 160 people working in the catering sector in Ankara. As a result of the survey, it was concluded that the employees associate the accidents with the fatalism and this varies according to the gender and occupational health and safety knowledge level. In addition, it was observed that the participants were hesitant to provide information about the measures taken by the workplace within the scope of occupational health and safety. This study reveals that the fast food sector is underestimated in terms of occupational health and safety. It is considered that the result of the study will contribute to the development of occupational health and safety awareness in the catering sector.
