SOMA’DA GÜVENLİK KURALLARI VE GÜVENLİKSİZ ÜRETİMİN KURUMSAL MUHAFAZASI

Kurumsal muhafaza üzerine yapılan çalışmalar, kavramsal bir çerçeve olarak kurallar ve normlar ile kurumsal ilişkiler ve pratikler arasında genel bir uyum ve bu uyum sayesinde tutarlı bir işleyiş olduğunu göstermektedir. Fakat geçmiş çalışmalar, bu uyumun olmadığı durumlarda kurumsal muhafazanın nasıl gerçekleştiği sorusunu ihmal etmektedir. Bu çalışma, Soma Maden Faciası bağlamında, güvenlik kurallarının yaşamsal olduğu çok tehlikeli bir sektörde, güvenliği neredeyse yok sayan ve ilgili kurallarla çelişen üretim odaklı dar bakışın ve kurumsal işleyişin nasıl olup da bu kurallara dayanarak muhafaza edilip sürdürülebildiği sorusuna cevap arayarak literatürdeki bu açığı gidermeye çalışmaktadır. Çalışma, madenlerde güvenlik kurallarının üretimi sınırlamamak koşuluyla, keyfi, daha fazla güvenlik yönünde değişikliklere yol açmayacak şekilde, yeterince denetlenmeden ve madencilere ilgili eğitim verilmeden uygulandığına işaret etmektedir. Bu uygulama amirler ve madenciler arasındaki ilişkide üretim odaklı işleyişi besler ve amir-madenci ilişkisini üretim odaklı işleyişin sürmesini sağlayan bir kurumsal muhafaza işine dönüştürür.

INSTITUTIONAL MAINTENANCE OF UNSAFE PRODUCTION THROUGH SAFETY RULES IN SOMA

Past studies on institutional maintenance show that there is harmony between institutional rules and norms and institutional relations and practices, and operational consistency due to harmony. Yet, past literature ignores the question of how institutional maintenance is possible when there is no harmony. Within the context of the Soma Disaster, this study tries to answer the question of how production-oriented understanding and operation, which generally conflicts with and almost ignores safety rules, is maintained as an institutional framework with the help of the same safety rules in sector where safety rules are vital, and address the gap in the literature. The study demonstrates that safety rules are arbitrarily applied within the constraints of production priorities, without safety improvements and effective monitoring, and with a workforce of almost no training. This application supports production-oriented operation in the relation between chiefs and miners and turns this relation into institutional maintenance work for production-oriented framework.
