What is Occupational Health and Safety Law?

Occupational health and safety law includes regulations enacted to protect the physical and mental health of employees, prevent occupational accidents and ensure a safe working environment. With the Labor Law, employers are obliged to ensure the safety of their employees. These obligations range from conducting risk analyses in the workplace to providing training to employees and providing the necessary protective equipment.

 

Responsibilities and Obligations of Employers

Under occupational health and safety law, employers are obliged to minimize risks in the workplace and take the necessary measures to ensure the safety of employees. It is the employer's responsibility to ensure that safety equipment is available in the workplace, regular inspections are carried out and occupational health and safety training is provided to employees. Senkur Law advises employers on fulfilling these obligations and provides guidance on the legal process in the event of work accidents or violations.

Occupational accidents and occupational diseases are serious problems that arise when occupational health and safety measures are inadequate. Employees who suffer from work accidents or occupational diseases may suffer material and moral damages due to the negligence of their employers.

Occupational Health and Safety Trainings and Audits

Increasing employees' awareness of occupational health and safety is of great importance in terms of preventing occupational accidents. By law, employers are required to provide occupational health and safety training to their employees. At the same time, regular inspections must be carried out in workplaces and compliance with occupational safety standards must be ensured. Senkur Law provides legal consultancy to employers to conduct occupational health and safety inspections in workplaces and to prevent possible violations.
