 Is Occupational Safety Specialization the Profession of the Future?


Occupational health and safety are among the top three main agenda items of working life, not only in Turkey but all over the world. Occupational health and safety activities have become one of the most important issues of both laws and employers as a result of industrialization gaining momentum in the economy with each passing day.


In Which Fields Does the Occupational Safety Specialist Get Training?

Occupational Safety Specialist is a profession created by the combination of many different departments. The person who will become an Occupational Safety Specialist should equip himself in the fields of engineering and science as well as in the field of law. Occupational Safety Specialists, who constantly develop themselves to work in the field of occupational health and safety, which is developing day by day, follow the developments in their field and conduct researches are among the preferred people in the sector.

The Future of Occupational Safety Expertise

There are some deficiencies in almost every sector or profession in our country. The problems in the Occupational Safety Specialist profession are not more than the problems experienced in any profession. In short, there are deficiencies in the Occupational Safety Specialist profession as well as in many areas. It can be said that it is new in terms of the Occupational Health and Safety Law, which was enacted about 10 years ago and includes many postponements. As a result of the enactment of the deferred articles of the law, the employment of occupational safety specialists in the public sector will begin with workplaces where the obligation to employ specialists in the private sector has not yet started. In addition, we can say that the Occupational Safety Specialist profession will gain more importance in the coming years and it is a profession that is open to development. At the same time, Occupational Safety Specialists can become more preferred people in the market by developing their expertise in areas such as work at height trainer training and explosion protection document preparation training.
