MISSION      

Nowadays, the need for occupational health and safety personnel is increasing in all sectors. Unfortunately, the number of trained technical personnel in the field of occupational safety in Turkey is not sufficient to meet the need. Since occupational health and safety is a very comprehensive field, it is of great importance to adapt preventive and protective measures to current conditions. Therefore, the number of people who will work in the field of occupational health and safety should be increased and these people should be well trained.

With the Occupational Health and Safety Law, the employment of  occupational health and safety pfofessionals has become mandatory in the private and public sectors.

For the stated purposes, our mission is to be a program that trains technical personnel sought after in the service and industry fields in Turkey.
