Every workplace contains job related health and safety hazards. While 2% of the unfavorable results that are caused by these dangers are unavoidable, 98% are still avoidable. The purpose of the studies done in the occupational health and safety field (WHS) is to provide work environment free from work related accidents. Today, the WHS studies that aim the protection of the right to life substantially constitute a field that has become more of an issue in all the countries in the world. The guiding role of the international organizations in constituting the national legislation and the importance of the matter enabled the regulations related to WHS to be found in the legislation of every country. However, there are differences in the implementation. The importance given to the constitution of security awareness and prevention culture has been increased in the recent years. The ‘WHS training’ constitute an important step within this new perception. The reason for this is that it is possible to provide behavioral change by turning the information gained into implementation through training and thereby to bring in correct behavioral models related to WHS. Within this study, the configuration of the employer’s obligation to provide training included in WHS facilities in different countries and in Turkey is examined. Proposals aimed at matters that should be taken into consideration within an efficient WHS training are mentioned.
