The Agenda of the Board

The agenda items for the board are determined by occupational safety experts, in consideration of requests that come from the board members and in line with issues that need to be discussed.

Additionally, an occupational health and safety email address has been designated. Our employees can use the email isg@ku.edu.tr to communicate their opinions, suggestions, and observations.

Depending on their priority, the issues that are communicated are evaluated by the occupational safety experts, and if there are health concerns, these are forwarded to the workplace physician for evaluation. Issues that are deemed suitable are included in the agenda of the board. Following the actions taken, the person who made the request is notified of any developments.
