What is Occupational Safety and Why is it Vital?

Occupational safety is a set of practices and policies that ensure the implementation of health and safety standards in a workplace. Occupational safety is both a legal requirement for employers and employees and is important for ensuring the efficiency of the work and the overall performance of the workplace. In order to better understand this issue, we, as Sürmen OSGB, offer you a detailed overview of occupational safety.

What is Occupational Safety?

Occupational safety aims to maintain occupational health and safety standards in the workplace and to prevent occupational accidents and occupational diseases. Protecting the health and safety of employees is not only a legal obligation, but also vital for the efficiency of business processes and the overall performance of the workplace.

Legal Requirements

Occupational safety in Turkey is subject to legal regulations. Employers are obliged to ensure the health and safety conditions of employees in accordance with the Occupational Health and Safety Law No. 6331. In addition, employers are required to work with occupational health and safety professionals such as an occupational safety specialist or workplace physician. Sürmen OSGB provides a wide range of professional support to employers in this regard.

Why Occupational Safety Matters?

  1. Employee Health and Safety: Occupational safety protects the health and safety of workers. Good safety practice helps prevent accidents and injuries.
  2. Legal Compliance: Occupational safety helps employers fulfill their legal obligations. Failure to comply with legal regulations can result in serious sanctions and penalties.
  3. Productivity Good occupational safety practice makes business processes more efficient. When the health and safety of employees is guaranteed, there are fewer occupational accidents and therefore fewer labor losses.
  4. Reputation Occupational safety also helps to protect a workplace's reputation. Good health and safety practices show that the employer values its employees and cares about their well-being.
