AWARENESS AND EDUCATION
OHS trainings are given regularly to all employees and contractors on a compulsory basis. OHS trainings both protect the health of employees and contribute to business continuity by preventing accidents and unexpected stoppages in the workplace.
In the scope of training,
General hazards and risks at the workplace,
Selection, correct use and maintenance of personal protective equipment,
How to identify hazards in the workplace and how to manage risks,
Information is given on topics such as safe working with machines, tools and equipment.
ASSET MANAGEMENT PLAN
Periodic equipment checks are carried out regularly as part of our asset management plan to ensure operational reliability, safety and compliance with relevant standards. These checks help to identify potential risks, maintain optimal performance and extend the life of critical assets.
PREVENTIVE AND CORRECTIVE ACTIONS & CONTINUOUS
Preventive and corrective actions are key components of our commitment to continuous improvement. Preventive actions are taken proactively to eliminate potential risks and prevent problems before they occur, thereby ensuring continuous performance and minimising downtime. Corrective actions are taken when deviations or non-compliances are detected, to prevent recurrence by addressing root causes. These actions form a continuous improvement cycle that increases efficiency, improves safety and supports the long-term sustainability of our operations. Planned maintenance is carried out to prevent breakdowns.
DISCLOSURE OF SPECIFIC ASSET MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND TARGETS
The Company's asset management targets include ensuring production in line with the budget. This target is managed through a continuous monitoring process in order to monitor and meet the targets set according to the annual production plans. The ‘Production (MW)’ metric, set as a KPI, is used to monitor the extent to which this target is realised. Thus, effective management of production capacity is ensured
REGULAR INTERNAL OR EXTERNAL AUDITS
At Zorlu Enerji, we conduct regular internal and external audits within the scope of asset integrity management and focus on ensuring the reliability and sustainability of our operations. We conduct these audits in accordance with SEVESO and ISO 9001 standards.
We manage risks and take necessary safety measures to prevent major industrial accidents through SEVESO audits.
We evaluate the effectiveness of our quality management systems and support continuous improvement processes through audits within the framework of ISO 9001.
Through these audits, we regularly monitor both our operational integrity and the quality of our business processes and realise opportunities for improvement.
RISK IDENTIFICATION AND MITIGATION STATEMENT
As a company, we continuously monitor the risks identified within the scope of SEVESO and implement the necessary risk management strategies to minimise the identified hazards. This approach is of great importance in terms of occupational safety and environmental protection and helps prevent potential accidents. We take all necessary measures to effectively identify and minimise risks.
MONITORING AND MEASUREMENT OF PERFORMANCE
Our performance monitoring processes include systematic data collection, analysis and reporting steps, and we use the findings obtained to mitigate risks, evaluate opportunities and improve decision-making processes. In addition, we manage performance data in accordance with the principles of transparency and accountability by verifying them through internal and external audits.
MANAGERIAL RESPONSIBILITY
The operation manager and operations group manager are responsible for maintaining the availability of the geothermal plant. Within the scope of this responsibility, they operate the asset integrity management system.
