These are employment contracts with a certain start date and an unknown end date.

It is a bilateral contract made with an organization engaged in this business in return for a prepaid premium, in order to compensate for any damage that something or someone may encounter in the future in any aspect.

In terms of short and/or long-term insurance branches, he is the person on whose behalf premiums must be paid or premiums must be paid on his behalf.

It is an event that occurs in the workplace, although it has the potential to cause harm to the employee, workplace or equipment, but does not. These are the events that we begin to describe in daily life as "almost".

It is not showing the necessary attention.

Nickel is a hard metal with a silvery white color. Nickel compounds are practically insoluble in water. Water soluble salts; chloride, sulfate and nitrate. In biological systems, nickel forms complexes with adenosine triphosphate, amino acids, peptides, proteins and deoxyribonucleic acid. Regarding the respiratory defense system, as a result of inhalation of nickel compounds in the air; Abnormal functions such as respiratory tract irritation and damage, immunological change, increase in the number of alveolar macrophage cells, cilia activity and decrease in immune suppression occur. As a result of skin absorption, allergic skin diseases occur. Although no reliable evidence has been identified about the effects of long-term exposure to nickel in the air on human health; It has been proven to cause nose and throat cancers, as well as negative health effects such as asthma, in nickel workers. It is not possible to specify the safety limit due to its carcinogenic effect.

Unwanted sound is called noise. Noise affects the psyche, nervous system and sense of hearing. The unit of sound intensity is decibel. It is indicated by the letters dB. Zero (0) decibel is the hearing threshold (limit). In other words, we do not hear sounds below zero decibels. Sounds above 75 decibels are dangerous. The following effects are seen on our nervous and spiritual systems: Concentration, attention and reaction capacity are weakened. Disorders such as fatigue, sleep disorders, headache, and circulatory system disorders are observed. These symptoms vary depending on various factors of the noise. For example, high frequency sounds are more effective than low frequency sounds. Its effects on hearing function are; The duration of exposure to noise depends on factors such as the intensity of the noise, its frequency, its intermittency (such as hammer blows), the person's age, individual sensitivities, the functional status of the inner ear, previous or ongoing diseases. Temporary deafness first occurs in people exposed to severe noise. Later, hearing impairments that increase over time and complete deafness may occur. Deafness initially occurs to high-frequency tones around 4000 Hertz (Hz), to which the ear is sensitive, and then occurs at other frequencies as well. The threshold value at which noise is harmful to human health is accepted as 85 dB. Necessary safety precautions should be taken when working in places noisier than 85 dB. Noise causes discomfort, distraction, and hearing loss in later stages for those who use air hammers, saws, planers, and crushing machines.

It is a lawsuit filed by a person whose personal rights have been unlawfully attacked, in order to relieve the sadness and shame he feels.
