Occupational Health and Safety Program

Hello, I'm Pınar YEŞİLGÖZ. I am the Head of the Occupational Health and Safety Program. We train occupational safety specialists in our program. Occupational safety specialists carry out guidance and consulting duties by giving advice and suggestions to the employer in order to provide a healthy and safe working environment for the employees. In our program, courses containing information on legislation such as fire, fire protection, occupational health and safety legislation, occupational safety in construction works, and risk analysis methods are given. Our graduates from this program work as occupational health and safety technicians. Our graduates can take the exam held by the "Student Selection and Placement Center" and work as a "C class occupational safety specialist". After 3 years of working as a "C class specialist", they have the chance to work as a "B class occupational safety specialist". After serving for 4 years as "B class specialist", they can serve as "A class specialist" in workplaces in all hazard classes. Some of our students struggle with technical lessons, but as instructors with practical experience, we support and mentor them in this area. We share both our practical knowledge and purely theoretical information with students in order to prepare them for the profession. Occupational Health and Safety is a highly preferred program as it provides the opportunity to find employment in all workplaces covered by the “Occupational Health and Safety Law No. 6331". After completing this degree, graduates will have no difficulty getting employment. To advance and become a competent occupational safety specialist, they must possess both technical and legislative expertise. Our graduates, who will serve as occupational safety specialists, will be able to work in a variety of private sector positions. I wish success to our students who will take the university exam. We welcome you all to the Istanbul Esenyurt University Occupational Health and Safety Program.
