When we hear the word evolution, at first we\nthink of the natural evolution, which is the biological evolution. Yes, the\nmost important evolution takes place in this area; however, it is not limited\nto this. Man has been discovering since the beginning of his existence. Some of\nthese discoveries change our world as well as our life considerably. Although\nsome discoveries do not make an important difference at first, they may become\nthe first steps of an important change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When we look at the world history, we can see\nthat backgrounds of many discoveries are known. This has been so from past to\npresent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, at the present time, this kind of\nactualization is getting more and more difficult every day. Because, we have\nalmost no day on which nothing new comes into our lives. Although many of these\ndiscoveries are so important that they deserve to be recorded in books of\ndiscoveries, they are not regarded as so important. In this period, especially\ntechnology is advancing so fast that even developments, which would be regarded\nas insane 30 years ago, are now being understood by everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The world has had different phases in the area\nof Industry up to now. These phases are believed to be the Industry 1.0, in\nwhich Fire was discovered, Industry 2.0, in which Water and Steam power was\nused, Industry 3.0, which covers the beginning of electricity use, and now\nIndustry 4.0, in which objects communicate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We have entered the period named as Industry\n4.0 step by step with the developments actualizing in the recent past. And now,\nthe current state of technology and the existing knowledge pave the way for\nradical changes. Many products that we use in our daily lives come together and\nmake the communication between objects possible. With this development, which\nis defined with the abbreviation IoT (Internet of Things), now, apart from\nhuman beings, man-made things also communicate with each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As every other revolution in the industry,\napart from the product itself, this revolution too will have effects on our\nlives. The most important effect is machines functioning according to a system\nby communicating with each other, which is abbreviated as M2M – Machine to\nMachine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Think about it! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Machines communicate with each other, act\ndepending on each other’s state, communicate their problems to each other, and\nthe system moves on its own thanks to this communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Is the need for human beings decreasing?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In fact, as a philosophical idea, this is a\nquestion that can lead to long discussions. This is a situation which is open\nto any comments and thoughts. To share my own thought:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yes, with this development, possibly less\npeople will work in the area of production. However, does that necessarily mean\nthat people will be unemployed? I think no. There is a reducing need for human\non the one hand; however, on the other hand, people’s needs are increasing.\nThis is a real mathematical pool problem. What is drained from one side is\nfilling the other side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If we ask the question \u201cWhat do all these have\nto do with Occupational Health and Safety?…\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This development means more dangerous works\nbeing done by machines and people beginning to work in less dangerous areas.\nAnd lower number of people in risky areas can make an important difference in\nterms of Occupational Health and Safety. Considering the fact that the rate of\nwork accidents are higher for those who work in risky areas, we can attain\nlower number of work accidents with people working in less dangerous areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Of course we should also think about the\ndevelopments in the area of occupational health and safety in addition to the\ndeveloping technology. Can accident risks be reduced by foreseeing and\nanticipating the situations including accident risk or at least by giving\nwarnings at the time of an accident?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I think such a technology can be easily carried\ninto effect while we are talking about a period in which machines communicate\nwith each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The dazzling speed of technological advancement\nprovides us with something new every other day. We use these systems without\neven realizing them. Many products, technologies and new solutions, which we do\nnot understand when they are mentioned, take their places in our lives without\nbeing noticed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I hope all these products coming into our lives provide safer environments in terms of human health and safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
