Our Occupational Health and Safety Culture

With the goal of continuously improving occupational health and safety performance, we are working to establish a sustainable safety culture at KÜMAŞ. Therefore, we accept as our fundamental principle to make both the legally defined obligations and globally accepted OHS requirements part of our way of doing business. We take precautions related to facilities, equipment, methods, or working regimes that could cause work accidents and occupational diseases.
