Occupational safety experts who are guiding and advising the employer to ensure a safe working environment in their workplaces and to improve this environment experience some problems while performing their tasks. This research is planned in a relationship-seeking type to determine whether the problems they experience affect constant level of anxiety or not. The sampling of the study was formed by 180 work safety experts selected through simple sampling. The data collection tool has been used as "Problem Scale of Occupational Safety Experts" and "Continuous Worry Scale". According to the Shapiro-Wilk test result to determine whether the data is normally distributed or not, the analysis of the data used independent groups t test, One-Way ANOVA test, correlation and multiple regression analyses. As a result of the correlation analysis, a positive relationship between the problems that work safety experts experience and the constant levels of anxiety has been found. The employer’s insufficient awareness (β=.26, t=2.21, p<.05), the unattention of employees (β=.28, t=2.75, p<.01) and the legislative problems (β=.20, t=2.65, p<.01) have been determined to be a significant contributor to the constant level of concern. Specialists working at the Joint Health and Safety Unit (OSGB) have been found to be more concerned than individual employees, their constant level of anxiety has decreased with ageing, and the constant level of anxiety of specialists with C and B class certificates has been found to be higher than specialists with A class certificates.
