Abstract :Although working environments have become safer with the developing technology, there are still negative effects on the health of employees. It is very important to detect these negative effects and take the necessary precautions. For this, occupational hygiene measurements should be made. Employees in the mining sector are exposed to physical and chemical risk factors depending on the type of work they do. Mining is a very dangerous business line where occupational diseases and occupational accidents occur. In this study, occupational hygiene measurements were made in a limestone quarry located in Sakarya region, physical and chemical risk factors that the working personnel are exposed to were investigated and evaluations were made in terms of occupational health and safety.Keywords : Dust, Illuminance, Limestone quarry, Physical and Chemical Factors, Noise, Vibration, Thermal Comfort.
