Occupational Health and Safety
SERTKA Group and the Importance of Occupational Health and Safety
Today, the construction sector requires special sensitivity regarding occupational health and safety. At SERTKA Group, we value not only the successful completion of our projects but also ensuring that our employees work in a safe environment. Therefore, we implement our occupational health and safety (OHS) policies across all our projects, setting an exemplary standard in the industry.
Why is Occupational Health and Safety Important?
Occupational health and safety play a vital role not only in protecting employees’ physical and mental well-being but also in ensuring business continuity and fulfilling corporate social responsibility. Particularly in construction sites, the following risks are common:
- Slip and fall accidents
- Injuries caused by working with heavy machinery
- Respiratory diseases caused by construction materials
These risks can lead to serious injuries or fatal accidents if preventive measures are not taken. However, with the proper occupational health and safety system in place, these risks can be minimized.
SERTKA Group’s OHS Policies
As SERTKA Group, we place occupational health and safety at the core of our projects. The key policies we implement in this regard are as follows:
1. Training and Awareness Programs
In every new project, we provide comprehensive occupational health and safety (OHS) training to all our employees. These trainings are designed to be both technically informative and solution-oriented for practical application in the field. The goal is to raise awareness among our employees and reduce the risk of accidents.
2. Use of Modern Equipment
We use state-of-the-art equipment in our projects. This not only increases efficiency but also ensures that our employees work in a safe environment.
3. Risk Assessment and Inspections
Regular risk assessments are conducted at our construction sites. These assessments allow us to identify potential hazards in advance and take necessary precautions. Additionally, independent inspection teams continuously monitor our on-site practices.
4. Use of Protective Equipment
One of the fundamental elements of occupational safety is the use of appropriate protective equipment. We provide all our employees with equipment that meets standards and regularly monitor its usage.
5. Emergency Plans
Each of our construction sites has a detailed emergency plan to ensure a quick and effective response in the event of an emergency. These plans ensure the safe evacuation of employees during fires, earthquakes, or other unforeseen situations.
SERTKA Group’s Leading Role in OHS
At SERTKA Group, we actively work to raise OHS standards in the industry. Through the innovative OHS approaches implemented in our projects, we have achieved the following successes:
- Reduction in Accidents: In 2024, we successfully reduced construction site accidents by 30%.
- Employee Satisfaction: Our OHS policies have led to a significant increase in employee satisfaction.
Advancing Occupational Health and Safety
SERTKA Group continues to be a pioneering brand not only in construction projects but also in the field of OHS. Our future goal is to implement a zero-accident policy by utilizing technology more effectively. In this regard, we plan to integrate innovative applications such as AI-powered monitoring systems and wearable technology.
