He lost his life in the explosion in HABAŞ... Young engineer Kadir Kaan Özçelik's hands were recently burned: They said, 'If you say it was a work accident, you will be fired', he remained silent!

My brother accepted to work at HABAŞ because he knew that it would contribute to his CV.

After getting a job, he got burned in this business about a month and a half before this incident. It wasn't a very serious burn, but it was at a level that would prevent him from using it that day or the day after. When it reached us, we immediately went to the hospital. However, he did not want it to be considered a work accident. When we asked the reason, the people working there or those who were partially responsible for the region said things like, "If you misrepresent this as a work accident, they will deal with you, you will not be able to find a job, they will fire you, you will have difficulty, it will stain your CV."

My brother did not want it to be considered a work accident because he did not want to get into trouble, because he lived in Turkey and wanted to support his family, and also because he wanted to send me to private teaching institutions. He was telling everyone, including us, my mother, my father, his friends, even our cousin Ömer, that the security here was very problematic.

He was working in the machinery maintenance department. They are maintaining the equipment in the area where the explosion occurred that caused his death. On the days when this maintenance is performed, these people normally go from working 9-5, work 9-12 and it never works as overtime. They cannot receive this additional money. My brother lost his life for 40 thousand liras.
