Occupational health and safety is one of the fundamental elements of working life. In order to protect the health of employees and provide a safe working environment, businesses with a certain number of employees are under the obligation to employ a workplace physician and other healthcare personnel.
This obligation is of great importance to ensure that the health measures that need to be taken in workplaces are fully implemented, the health status of employees can be monitored, and quick and effective intervention can be provided in possible emergency situations.
These obligations in the field of occupational health and safety are detailed in the Occupational Health and Safety Law No. 6331 and the Regulation on Occupational Health and Safety Services issued based on this law. While defining the rights and responsibilities of employers and employees, these legal regulations aim to ensure health and safety standards in workplaces.
The main reasons for imposing such an obligation on workplaces within the scope of the laws are as follows:
- To ensure that health measures are taken in workplaces.
- To ensure that periodic health checks of employees are carried out and recorded.
- To carry out necessary studies to prevent occupational accidents and occupational diseases.
- To ensure that first aid and emergency intervention services are provided to employees in a timely and accurate manner.
- To continuously inspect the suitability of the working environment in terms of health.
