Tekfen regards providing a safe and healthy working environment for all employees, including subcontractors, as a fundamental responsibility across all its industries. The company upholds this commitment through its Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) Policy. In 2024, OHS activities continued in line with the “zero accident” target, following the relevant management systems, legal regulations, and internal procedures.

Tekfen has established a robust OHS system encompassing all its stakeholders, ensuring full compliance with legislation and international standards through its professional teams. By leveraging the strengths of this system, such as continuous improvement, data-driven decision-making, training, and technology integration, a safe working culture is sustained across the Group, supporting long-term success. OHS performance is regularly monitored, with monthly reviews conducted using the collected data and reported to the Board of Directors and senior management.

All Group Companies classified as hazardous or very hazardous workplaces hold ISO 45001 Occupational Health and Safety Management System certification. These standards are applied across all facilities and projects. Performance criteria include the outcomes of internal audits, third-party audits, and emergency drills, all of which are carefully evaluated.

Tekfen conducts its OHS processes systematically, in compliance with legal regulations, and with a focus on continuous improvement. In this regard, the OHS Policy, Health-Safety-Environment (HSE) Uniform Method, and related regulations issued by Tekfen Holding provide guidance for developing an OHS culture and fostering a shared understanding, outlining principles and guidelines mandatory for all Group Companies.
