Abstract :This study analyzes the significant role of occupational health and safety (OHS) in the rapidly growing logistics sector. The high incidence of work-related accidents in Turkey’s logistics sector clearly highlights the extent of the risks faced by workers. The study provides a detailed examination of work accidents, occupational diseases, and fatality rates in the sector, based on the Social Security Institution (SSI) statistics from 2008 to 2023. The findings comprehensively reveal the work accidents and safety measures in the logistics sector. The research offers strategic recommendations for reducing these accidents and provides a methodological framework for developing policies to improve occupational safety in the sector.
