Safe Work, Safe Services & Our Life-Saving Golden Rules

We Care About Health and Safety

The health and safety of all our stakeholders—including our employees, contractors, and customers—are among the most fundamental priorities we uphold.

With this awareness and sense of responsibility, we integrate our health and safety processes into all decision-making mechanisms to ensure the complete physical, psychological, and social well-being of our employees. We value and support employee participation in these efforts.

To Maintain Physical Well-being:

• We continuously review existing risks in our workplaces and carry out improvement activities.
• We conduct drills considering potential emergency scenarios and keep our emergency awareness consistently high.
• We provide regular trainings and awareness sessions to our employees to further advance our safety culture.
• We continuously monitor the performance of our Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) management system through internal and external audits, identify opportunities for improvement, and enhance our processes.
• We implement our golden rules at every level of our company.

To Maintain Psychological and Social Well-being:

• We offer hybrid working opportunities to all employees, except those in field operations.
• Through our healthy living partnerships, we support access to wellness services, including online consultations with dietitians, psychologists, and fitness trainers.
• In line with recommendations from our workplace physicians, we continue preventive practices and help our employees feel secure with comprehensive private health insurance.

We Keep Up With the Times

• We prioritize digitalization. With our IT solutions, we enable real-time reporting of accidents, near misses, and hazardous situations. Each incident is reviewed by those responsible, and necessary actions are planned and tracked.
• We follow digitalization trends across all health and safety processes and take necessary actions accordingly.
• The results of our internal and external audits—as well as identified improvement areas—are digitally recorded to ensure continuous improvement.

We Are Guided by National and International Standards

• We have obtained ISO 45001 and ISO 14001 certifications. These certifications and audits ensure that our OHS-Environment (OHS-E) systems are implemented accurately and effectively.
• At our Kızıldere III Geothermal Power Plant—the largest geothermal facility in Turkey—we conduct process safety activities in line with the BEKRA regulation.

Additionally, in certain parts of our company, our SA 8000 certification ensures that our employees work in a safe, socially, and psychologically healthy environment.

We Investigate and Improve

After every incident, we implement our accident investigation procedures, evaluate all incidents in terms of actual and potential outcomes, and create a roadmap to prevent recurrence.

We Continue to Improve

We will expand the scope of our existing SA 8000 certification across all our companies to ensure that every employee works in a safe, socially, and psychologically healthy workplace.
