Abstract
Information systems are also used in control records, trainings and environment measurements in the field of occupational health and safety. Moreover, it seems to be a gap in the literature regarding the application of usability testing methods utilized in the field of human-computer interaction in to occupational health and safety (OHS) studies. In this study, it is aimed to determine the effectiveness of occupational health and safety measures via usability test approach. Usability testing was carried out with the help of eye tracking devices. In this experiment research, 26 people were participated. Participants wearing eye tracking devices were asked to find the exit assuming there is a fire. Three experiments were designed in two different institutions. The number of focuses and focus times for fire equipment, panic button and caution signs were examined. In addition, 12 OHS experts' opinions were included in the study. As a result imply that the risk analysis is not enough alone and more comprehensive analysis with information systems is required to improve the precautions to be taken as a result of the risk analysis. It is suggested that the method proposed in the study can also be employed in the context of other emergency cases and disasters.
