Covid-19 hastalığı (Korona virüs), Çin’in Wuhan kentinde ortaya çıkmış ve tüm dünyada hızla yayılmıştır. Salgın, çalışma yaşamını derinden etkilemiş ve bu sebeple çalışma hayatına dair birçok yeni düzenleme yapılmıştır. Pandemi döneminde iş sağlığı ve güvenliği hukuku ise işçi-işveren ilişkisine dair en çok etkisini gösteren alanlardan biri olmuştur. İşveren, Covid-19 hastalığının işyerinde yayılmasını engellemek için alması gereken her türlü önlemi almakla yükümlüdür. İşverenin yükümlülüklerine aykırı hareket etmesi, şüphesiz ki sorumluluğunu gündeme getirecektir. Bu noktada Covid-19 hastalığının iş kazası veya meslek hastalığı bakımından değerlendirilmesi söz konusu olmaktadır. Covid-19’un iş kazası veya meslek hastalığı sayılıp sayılmayacağı hususu, öğretide ve uygulamada tartışmalı konuların başında gelmektedir. Covid-19 virüsüne bağlı bedensel veya ruhsal bir zarar ortaya çıktığında, koşullar varsa iş kazası olarak nitelendirilebilecektir. Bunun gibi Covid-19 hastalığının meslek hastalığı olarak nitelendirilmesi de mümkündür. Sağlık çalışanları bakımından ise konuyu ayırarak incelemekte fayda vardır. Çalışmamızda iş kazası ve meslek hastalığı kavramları üzerinde kısaca durulduktan sonra Covid-19’un neden iş kazası sayılması gerektiği açıklanacaktır.
The Covid-19 disease (Corona virus) appeared in the Chinese city of Wuhan and spread rapidly throughout the world. It has profoundly influenced the work life and therefore many new arrangements on the work life have been made. During the pandemic period, labor health and safety law was one of the areas that most influenced the employee-employee relationship. The employer is obliged to take all necessary measures to prevent the spread of Covid-19 disease at work. If the employer acts in violation of his obligations, he will undoubtedly put his responsibility in place. The Covid-19 disease is considered to be a work accident or occupational illness. The question of whether Covid-19 will be considered a work accident or a professional illness comes at the forefront of the controversial topics in teaching and practice. When a physical or mental damage associated with the Covid-19 virus occurs, it can be described as a work accident if there are conditions. The Covid-19 disease can also be called a professional disease. The health care provider is advisable to investigate the issue. After a brief focus on the concepts of occupational accidents and occupational illness in our study, we will explain why Covid-19 should be considered a occupational accident.
