• Occupational health and safety
implementations are becoming more crucial in
terms of public conscious.
• In parallel with this worlwide awareness, there
exists regulatory enforcement in industry,
especially construction sector due to its major
role in occupational accidents.
• In Turkey, construction is one of the sectors
which has the most occupational accidents
and in addition to this, the most fatal accidents
have been occured in this sector.

• The administrative function of Istanbul Water and
Sewerage Administration (ISKI) includes planning,
installation and operation of drinking and waste
water infrastructure investments in Istanbul.
• Occupational health and safety implementations
play an important role in drinking and waste water
infrastructure sites where employees of contractor
companies are charged by ISKI.

ISKI is responsible for providing a safe and
healthful workplace for their employees by
• setting and enforcing standards,
• providing training, outreach and education,
• establishing partnerships,

• Making the list of Personel Protective Equipment
according to the activities in plants,
• Making up the contingency plans,
12
• Setting the team of first aid and fireguard,
• Setting the sanitary department,
• Making up the occupational health and safety
department,
• Measuring the level of dust and noise,
• Making the tests of pressure vessel,
• Forming the instructions of safe work for the entire plant,
13
• Getting the materials safety form of chemicals,
• Forming the practicable procedure, instruction and
forms,
• Applications of the document in site,

In the regions related directly to the daily life of
citizens, obligatory works have to be done during
the cleaning work and maintenance of drinking and
sewerage infrastructure.
The people working in the areas to where industrial
waste water is disposed, are under the high risk of
biological and chemical aspects.
Also, the gases contaminated in the sewerage
infrastructure contain the danger of diffusion to the
environment.
16
•
Everyone should be included in the implementation
of occupational health and safety,
•
Everyone should believe the necessity of
occupational health and safety,
•
