SECTION II: INTRODUCTION TO THE COURSE

Course Objectives & Content

Course Objectives:

The aim of this course is to enable students to recognize occupational health and safety risks that may arise in the logistics sector, learn risk assessment processes, and plan appropriate control measures. The course also aims to help students develop a safety culture, understand legal responsibilities, and gain analytical thinking skills related to risk management.

Course Content:

This course covers the fundamental concepts of occupational health and safety, types of hazards and risks, risk assessment methods, and control approaches. Risks that may arise in warehouse, transportation, handling, and terminal operations are examined through case studies and scenarios. The course aims to develop students’ ability to conduct risk analyses, design preventive strategies, and contribute to the creation of safe working environments.

Course Specific Rules

Students are expected to actively participate in the practices and case studies conducted as part of the course. In accordance with university regulations, a minimum of 70% attendance is required, and the course will be conducted face-to-face. Students are required to attend quizzes at the announced dates and times.
