Safety Research Unit (SRU)
was
established in August 2005 in the scope of SAFEAST and TÜBİTAK
projects and by the support of METU. SRU is divided into two
sections, which are general safety section and traffic safety
section. General safety includes such topics as work safety and
organizational safety culture, patient safety in hospitals, and
unintentional injuries in daily life. Traffic safety section is
conducting wide variety of studies related to road users safety.

The main aim of the SRU is to conduct applied studies of high academic merit about
safety and health promoting behaviours in life in general and in
road traffic in particular. For this purpose, research team uses
different techniques and methodologies like on-road measurements,
psycho-technical and neuropsychological laboratory tests, and
questionnaires.
By its nature, our work requires strong
multidisciplinary approach. The research at SRU is therefore carried
out in close co-operation with universities, governmental bodies,
public agencies and private companies. |
