Our Manifesto - What We Believe
In the project conducted, the action successfully mainstreamed cross-cutting issues, particularly the promotion of human rights in the context of workers working in hazardous industries. This integration involved ensuring that the principles of human rights were effectively incorporated and prioritized throughout the project's implementation. As a result, the project actively addressed various aspects of human rights, fostering inclusivity, equality, and dignity for all individuals involved. By emphasizing the importance of human rights within the project's framework, it contributed to creating a more just and equitable environment for the targeted beneficiaries and stakeholders. This scope was reflected as the “Final Manifesto” of the project which became the main theme for the Closing meeting, Documentary and the Narrative Book “Anlatılar!” with a unique graphic design using the “Box Cribbing” as the symbol.

What is a Psychosocial Risk?
Psychosocial risk factors are work-life issues with potentially adverse effects on workers’ psychological health and social life. Emphasizing the psychosocial risks in work-life with the slogan of "Psychosocial Safety at Work", this project underlines the situations originating from the context of work settings. Ineffective communication with the manager, conflict among colleagues, lack of promotion possibilities, discrimination, intensive workload, fear of redundancy, insufficient training and social support, and the workloads are some threats to psychosocial safety at work. The project highlights that the psychosocial hazards cause psychological health deterioration and worsen working populations' quality of life. The mine workers and other experts in the sector who participated in the project define psychosocial safety as “working at ease” and “feeling comfortable as working”. This issue is critical for employee safety and the effectiveness of the organization.
Workers arriving to work with mental struggles, concentration difficulties, and inattention could experience a loss of performance, as well as negligence and distraction that may result in work accidents. The project, takes a comprehensive step toward analyzing and supporting the psychosocial risks of the mining workers, who have particularly perilous working conditions by nature in the Zonguldak basin. In addition to its aim of raising awareness throughout Turkey and in other sectors, it endeavors to establish the notion of occupational physicians, who will enable the mining workers to work "being at ease" in a psychosocially safe atmosphere.
