Abstract :Construction, mining or tunneling projects in Türkiye are defined as workplaces in the very dangerous class due to their physical power needs. For this reason, metal ore mining, mining supporting service activities, sewage, external construction, special construction activities, construction and landscaping activities are the sectors where occupational accidents are most common. While determining the necessary materials or work equipment during the planning phase of the works in these sectors, making decisions by evaluating the effect of \"occupational health and safety\" will contribute to the reduction of accidents. This research consists of two parts. In the first part, accident frequency rates were calculated by using data related to metal ore mining, mining supporting service activities, sewerage, external structure, special construction activities, building and landscaping projects between 2012 and 2019. Thus, the relationship between occupational accidents experienced as of the adoption of the Occupational Health and Safety Law has been determined. In the second part, it is tried to gain a different perspective by adding occupational health and safety factor to the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP), which is one of the multi-criteria decision-making methods. As a result of the research, it has been determined that \"occupational health and safety\" criteria are given priority according to cost and engineering advantages in alternative product/material comparisons in mines or construction works.
Keywords : Analytical hierarchy process, Multi criteria decision making method, Occupational accident frequency rate, Occupational health and safety
