This study wasconducted on thefiveconsidered campuses ofa university in Istanbuland focused onmonitoringthewastemanagement systemwithin thescope of occupational health safety (OHS)andminimizingthe possiblerisks that may arise, specifically within thezero wastemanagement (ZWM)system. The observation/monitoring/correction studies within thescope of OHSon thecampuses wereconducted under ninemain criteria. Achecklist was used qualitatively, the Fine-Kinney method and analytic hierarchy process (AHP) were used quantitatively to plan and evaluateany risksat thecampuses. In theevaluation conducted accordingto ninecriteriafor thecampuses usingthe Fine-Kinney method, risk scores werecalculated forcampuses beforeand after thetraininggiven to therelevant personnel onOHSand ZWM. Accordingto theresults obtained;whiletherisk scores beforethetrainingvaried between 63 and 900, it was determined that they varied between 15 and 60 after thetraining. Thesignificant improvement in the obtained risk scores reveals the necessity of periodictrainingactivities. In addition, in the prioritization studiesconducted usingtheAHP, it wascalculated that thesafety precautionweights varied between 0.070 and 0.764, whiletheaccident severity weights varied between 0.064 and 0.541. Accordingly, it wasconcluded that themodelscreated in this study can be used as usefulmodels for future projections in studies to beconducted on thesubject, dependingon both thelevel ofsafety measuresand theseverity ofaccidents.
