Occupational Health and Safety Management System

The “12 Golden Rules That Save Lives,” frequently applied in our mining operations, contain the fundamental rules for ensuring safety in high-risk jobs. These rules are the basic guidelines that employees and workers of contractors, suppliers and service providers are required to follow to prevent accidents and reduce hazards.

The value we place on people and our sense of responsibility make occupational safety and health our top priority. Guided by this approach, we prioritize the protection of the mental and physical well-being of all our employees, management of change (MOC)and place employee participation at the forefront to conduct operations that exceed international standards and industry norms.

Altınkale Mining, occupational health and safety measures are implemented and monitored to ensure that employees can carry out their duties in a healthier and safer environment—socially, psychologically, and physically—and to protect their physical and mental well-being. All necessary measures have been taken regarding our emergency medical services; accordingly, our on-site health units will provide 24-hour service through an emergency ambulance, a full-time on-site physician, other healthcare personnel, and emergency medical technicians.
