Occupational Health and Safety

Occupational Health and Safety

Our company considers occupational health and safety (OHS) as a top priority while operating in the construction sector. Since construction sites are challenging work environments with potential hazards, we work meticulously to ensure the safety of our employees and prevent work accidents. Occupational health and safety is not only a legal obligation, but also one of the cornerstones of our respect for human life and our business ethics.

• 1. Our Occupational Health and Safety Policy: Our company is committed to fully complying with national and international standards on occupational health and safety. In line with this, we are continuously improving all our work processes within the framework of our OHS policy and taking all necessary precautions to provide our employees with a safe working environment. Our occupational safety experts, engineers and field teams carry out continuous inspection and control processes to ensure safety standards.
  • Legal Compliance: We fully comply with the applicable occupational health and safety laws and regulations in all projects we operate.
  • Safety Culture: We provide regular training to our employees on occupational safety and ensure that occupational safety becomes a business culture. Each individual acts with the awareness that they are responsible for their own safety and the safety of others in the field.
• 2. Training and Awareness Programs: Ensuring occupational health and safety requires knowledge and awareness. For this reason, we regularly provide occupational health and safety training to all employees within our company. Thanks to these trainings, our employees both recognize the potential risks they may encounter in the work area and learn the precautions to be taken against these risks.
  • Periodic Trainings: These trainings provided by our occupational safety experts are constantly updated with new technologies, legal regulations and safety protocols in construction areas. Before each new project, we organize special trainings for field teams and inform them about project-specific risks.
  • Emergency Drills: We conduct drills for accidents or emergencies that may occur in the work area. These drills help our employees develop their fast and effective response skills.
• 3. Risk Assessment and Prevention: In each of our projects, we conduct comprehensive risk assessments in order to minimize occupational health and safety risks. During this process, project-specific hazards and risk factors are determined and all necessary measures are taken to prevent these risks. Risk assessments are updated regularly and new risks are quickly intervened when they arise.
  • Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): We provide all personal protective equipment (helmet, goggles, gloves, safety belts, etc.) that our employees need to use on the job site and ensure that they are used correctly.
  • Machine and Equipment Safety: Machines and equipment used in construction projects undergo regular maintenance and control processes. The use of faulty equipment is strictly prohibited and these processes are supervised by experts.
• 4. Inspection and Control Mechanisms: We develop inspection and control mechanisms to continuously monitor and improve our occupational health and safety performance. All sites in our projects are regularly inspected by occupational safety experts, and possible risk factors are identified and necessary corrective measures are quickly implemented.
  • Regular Inspections: We ensure compliance with safety standards through periodic inspections conducted by both our internal audit teams and independent audit firms.
  • Improvement Processes: In line with the findings of the inspections, we quickly put the necessary improvement processes into action and continuously increase safety in work sites.
• 5. Prevention of Work Accidents and Emergency Management: We adopt a proactive approach to completely prevent work accidents. We work to identify and eliminate risks before accidents occur. However, we develop rapid and effective intervention processes in the event of a possible work accident or emergency.
  • Preventing Work Accidents: In order to minimize work accidents in our projects, we implement strict inspections, trainings and safety measures. In addition, we prevent employees from taking risky actions by creating safe working procedures.
  • Emergency Plans: Procedures to be applied in possible emergency situations are determined in advance and these plans are reviewed regularly. First aid teams and emergency response teams are always ready.
• 6. Environmental Health and Safety: Occupational health and safety covers not only the safety of our employees but also the protection of the environment. We apply strict rules for the management of substances that may harm the environment and the correct disposal of waste at construction sites.
  • Environmental Risks: In order to minimize the impact of construction projects on the environment, we take measures to prevent water, air and soil pollution. In this context, we use the most up-to-date technologies and methods to ensure environmental safety during construction activities.

Our company adopts a zero tolerance policy regarding occupational health and safety. We take the highest level of precautions to ensure the safety of our employees and the environment in all our projects, and meticulously carry out all necessary processes to prevent work accidents. With this awareness, we continue to create a safe working environment by keeping not only our legal responsibilities but also our respect for human life and the environment at the highest level.
