The following activities are primarily undertaken in our company in order to achieve the goal of “Zero Occupational Accident - Zero Incapacity - Zero Workforce Loss” under the guidance of OHSAS 18001.
We undertake activities aimed at occupational health and safety through compliance with the national and international standards, laws, regulations, and customer terms.
The Executive Management serves as a guarantor of the no-compromise policy for OHS, fully supporting each and every OHS effort.
As one of the backbones of OHS, risk assessment activities are completed effectively in a timely manner to ensure identification of potential risks in advance and the necessary measures are taken to mitigate the risks accordingly. In addition, risk assessment is updated continuously, and corrective and preventative actions are taken with reports including danger reports, near miss incidents, and onsite visits etc.
An Emergency Action Plan is drafted to identify what to do in an emergency and prepare for possible emergencies in the workplace and is communicated to all employees. Emergency response teams have undergone special training.
Annual emergency and evacuation drills are performed and the success of them is assessed with consideration of the cases covered in the Emergency Action Plan.
Mandatory OHS training sessions of 16 hours take place every year as per the legal regulations. Moreover, training is offered on raising awareness, risk assessment, and technical topics whenever needed.
Monthly OHS meetings take place alongside Foreman, Executive and OHS Council Meetings under three different categories to ensure the participation of all employees in the OHS activities, and the necessary flow of information.
