The ultimate goal of HSE, which encompasses health, safety, and environmental concerns, is the preservation of human health and life. If we value our own health and that of our employees, then we strive to safeguard human lives to the maximum by adhering to the principles and rules of occupational health, safety, and environmental protection. Through education and cultural promotion of these aspects in the workplace, we aim to achieve a healthier life for all.
In today's industrial progress, with the integration of machinery, equipment, and systems into our daily lives and the increased prominence of tools and equipment in work processes, along with the heightened interaction of individuals with industrial environments, organizations are faced with new and ongoing challenges regarding health, safety, and hygiene. It is no longer sufficient to merely abide by old laws and obvious principles to prevent accidents and disasters.
Therefore, to protect and preserve the human workforce, which is the most crucial factor in the success of any organization, and in order to ensure the sustainability of the environment and prevent harm to equipment and facilities, the HSE strategy steps onto the scene. It provides a structured approach towards reducing risks and maximizing workplace health.
Over the past years, considerable efforts have been made to ensure safety in our workplace, and the issue of workforce health protection has been a top priority for us. In the implementation of the safety system, we have paid special attention to international standards, including ISO 45001. We have identified all our activities related to health and safety, and have formulated plans and measurements to control and improve them. The results of these measurements are reported to management through monitoring and reviewing performance and correcting observed non-conformities in audits.
