What is Occupational Safety and Health?

Occupational safety and health covers all the measures taken to ensure the safety of workers and to enable working under the right conditions.

Occupational safety and health is one of the most important issues in the world. Occupational accidents are getting more serious every day. “Preventing occupational accidents is easier than paying the price” should be the logic when actions are taken.

Details such as the smooth running of the work carried out in the workplace and protection from all the risks that may arise and all the conditions that may cause harm to the workers' health are the basis of the occupational safety. Occupational safety is not only aimed at protecting the employee, but also the workplace, other affiliates and the environment in which the work is carried out. Occupational safety and health should be adopted and implemented as required in all areas of the workplace. Risk assessments should be carried out at regular intervals.

With a good analysis, it is important to establish an environment in which the working conditions are suitable, as well as to control possible hazards in the workplace.

In the field of occupational safety and health, the social protection of the worker is also seen as necessary. It is aimed to improve the health of the employees not only psychologically and physically, but also socially. In occupational safety, common conditions should be provided without discrimination of age, race or gender.
