Occupational Health & Safety Management

Regardless of its size and field of activity, organizations have to establish a system and ensure its effectiveness based on the principle of predicting, understanding hazard & risks and taking the necessary precautions. This requires strong leadership and management, including in preparing for emergencies. Therefore, the work to be done in this context, first senior management units should understand and own.

The H&S system should conform to the framework below.
● Precise determination and evaluation of legal and other requirements,
● A structured approach to risk assessment,
● A clear structure for authority and responsibility,
● Measurable goals for improvement,
● A planned and documented approach to health and safety,
● An effective education and awareness program,
● Questioning the system with continuous monitoring and periodic audits.

Increased Awareness Reduces the Likelihood of Violation
Your company's stronger focus on health and safety management helps you raise awareness of the importance of workplace safety throughout your organization. In turn, workers will make safety their primary focus as they continue their daily activities.

Better Employee Morale
When workers know that their employer is concerned about their health and safety, they are also more likely to approach their job with a positive attitude. High morale tends to increase job satisfaction, which can ultimately lower the rate of employee change.
People want to work for companies that value their employees. Implementing a health and safety management system shows that your organization cares about the well-being of its employees, which can help you attract better quality candidates.

Improving long-term prospects
● By establishing and operating an effective H&s system,
● Positive impact on financial institutions ' lending strategies will be ensured. (Increasing credit amount, lowering interest rates, increasing money transfer swiftness, supporting multiple projects, etc.)
● Chances of attracting new business partners and investors increase.
● Costs are reduced in insurance processes.

Comprehensive and Detailed Risk Analysis (ISO 31000:2018)

Risk is a necessary part of doing business. First of all, analysis studies should be carried out with a team that is aware of this, otherwise it will not be possible to carry out these studies on a common ground. However, as projects grow, their scope develops and expands, and as processes become more complex, it becomes increasingly difficult to anticipate risks and determine appropriate measures. In this context, risk assessment studies require the blending of multiple professional disciplines and different areas of expertise.
Minimum requirements for successful analysis
● Analysis team with sufficient expert infrastructure
● Use of understandable language at all levels
● Senior Management Participation
    ▪ Risk commitments
    ▪ Goals
    ▪ Continuous improvement
    ▪ Accountability
    ▪ Resource allocation
◼ Identifying organizational responsibilities with risk analysis integration, sharing
    ▪ Assignment
    ▪ Tasks
◼ Taking human and cultural factors into account
◼ Establishing, ensuring and maintaining an effective feedback system (mobile systems)
◼ Training and awareness (Creating remarkable training contents and programs within the framework of the participant profile)
◼ Review and revision
International standards and guidelines are taken into account in general risk assessment studies.
◼ IWA 31:2020 Risk management — Guidelines on using ISO 31000 in management systems
◼ ISO 31022:2020 Risk management — Guidelines for the management of legal risk
◼ IEC 31010:2019 Risk management — Risk assessment techniques
◼ ISO 12100:2010 Safety of machinery — General principles for design — Risk assessment and risk reduction
◼ International standards specific to the project are carefully evaluated. (Samples)
◼ ISO/TR 27918:2018 Lifecycle risk management for integrated CCS projects
◼ ISO 17666:2016 Space systems — Risk management

Gap Analysis

Current risk analyzes are reviewed within the framework of activities, working conditions, device and equipments used, environmental conditions, legal obligations, contract terms, their deficiencies and defects are determined and reported.

Documentation

In order to prepare an effective occupational health and safety procedure, site conditions and works are observed as required on-site. ATLASCert® software infrastructure is used during the said work and in the creation of the recording system. Providing feedback with digital forms for the follow-up and monitoring of the OHS process brings many advantages such as automatic listing, analysis and notifying the relevant units without losing time.

It is rational to make maximum use of computer/software technologies to develop a sensitive control system, especially for critical issues. Issues that are considered important in this context (planning mandatory operations, work permit system, non-compliance/ramakkala tracking, etc.) Editing under Origami infrastructure allows more than one responsible unit/manager to follow the process at the same time.

Trainings programs

While creating the training programs, maximum effort is made to fulfill the following conditions.
● Determination of catchy and thought-provoking contents. It should be ensured that the participants follow the training presentations without getting bored.
● Case examples and scenarios that will increase the level of awareness appropriate for the educational purpose.
● Brief descriptions that facilitate focus.
● Understanding the reasons for all types of practices carried out for the establishment of occupational health and safety, and accepting the justifications and requirements.
● Fast and effective evaluation methods to question the effectiveness of the training.
● Multiple-answers, limited-time mobile exams and automatic assessment.
● Periodic training organizations that are not overlooked with the origami planning module.
