Health, Safety and Wellbeing
Occupational Safety Culture
"We know that priorities can change. That’s why we say not OHS first,’ but ‘ OHS At All Times."
At Enerjisa Üretim, we consider employee health and safety a core value. We embrace a culture that goes beyond compliance, one that is empowered by individual awareness and team spirit. Safety is an integral part of every individual’s daily work practices. We value a structure in which every team member feels responsible not only for their own safety but also for the safety of their colleagues and work environment.
Our safety culture is rooted in solidarity. Whether in the field, at the office, on the road, or at home, maintaining safe behaviors and building safe environments together is a shared responsibility. We don’t see occupational health and safety as limited to individual efforts; it’s a culture collectively built and sustained by the entire organization.
Human-Centered Systems Empowered by Technology
With advancing technology, our employees remain the most vital component of our processes. At Enerjisa Üretim, we enhance employee health and safety through digital solutions like ENSAFE, IRONIC, YES, Fark@, Safety Vision, vehicle tracking systems, and Power BI, allowing us to monitor field data in real time, analyze it, and identify potential risks before they emerge. We use these tools to strengthen safety awareness, encourage teams to take ownership of their data, and promote continuous improvement. Technology, in this sense, becomes an enabler that encourages, facilitates, and visualizes safe behavior. Because we believe that a sustainable culture of occupational health and safety can only be achieved through systems that grow and learn alongside people.
A Safer Future Together
We feel responsible for preparing people for the world of tomorrow. On this journey, we act in unison with our teammates, suppliers, business partners, and all stakeholders. We believe a safer future is only possible through a culture in which everyone contributes and feels personally accountable.
We view health and safety not merely as a set of rules, but as a culture where shared care and solidarity shine through, and where everyone feels responsible and engaged. We are committed to making this approach the cornerstone of our corporate culture and to strengthening it with every step we take.
We will continue to live and reflect our respect for life in every aspect of our work. By aligning corporate value creation with individual value creation, we are determined to help build a more sustainable future for both our employees and society as a whole.
Our Implementations
"Safe work is a shared responsibility."
To ensure active participation in occupational health and safety goals, we’ve set measurable targets across the organization. These targets support both individual accountability and corporate progress. Our Occupational Health and Safety performance management system monitors the following:
TRIF/LTISR Performance
While we value proactive indicators, reactive ones also play a key role. TRIF and LTISR are the only reactive metrics in our system and help us stay focused on safety outcomes.
- TRIF Performance: Tracks incident rates resulting in medical attention or lost workdays.
- LTISR Performance: Measures the rate of lost days from incidents leading to time off work.
Hazard Reporting
Encouraging employees to report hazardous situations strengthens collaboration, enables early risk detection, and promotes safer environments.
Field Observations and Inspections
We conduct regular monthly field observations to detect and respond to risks and non-compliance early on.
Field Tours
Field tours conducted by our managers in line with the principle of visible and tangible safety leadership help raise safety awareness on site and strengthen communication between teams.
Drills
We organize drills that ensure active participation from employees at all levels and reinforce leadership roles.
Road Safety
We promote traffic safety through speed violation reduction, defensive driving training, and monitoring vehicle compliance.
Risk Assessments
We foster a sense of both personal and collective responsibility by involving employees in risk assessment processes.
HSE-Focused Technical Training
We run structured training programs to improve employees’ HSE knowledge and skills not only via Safety Officers but also experienced and knowledgeable employees.
Toolbox
At the start of each day, teams gather to review the tasks ahead, discussing associated risks and preventive measures.
Non-Compliance Management
Timely and effective closure of identified noncompliances is a key measure of both individual and departmental performance.
Incident Investigations
Thorough and timely investigations are essential to our assessment of both individual and team performance.
Working Hours
Through fair, flexible, and transparent working hours management, we protect our employees’ health and work-life balance.
Health and Wellbeing Strategy
The health, safety, and wellbeing of all living beings in our workplace is always a central part of what we do. From generation to management, from field operations to our offices, supporting and strengthening physical, psychological, and social wellbeing is essential to our sustainable success.
In the past year, we advanced our proactive health and safety culture with respect for life at the heart of everything. We established systems that anticipate risks, enable learning, and promote continuous improvement, embracing both individual and collective responsibility. Our inclusive approach, which values uniqueness, enabled us to implement programs responsive to diverse needs. We believe wellbeing is not only about protection from risk but also about unlocking potential and enhancing quality of life.
While raising our occupational health and safety standards to the highest level, we also made pioneering strides in psychosocial health and wellbeing. Through psychosocial risk assessments, employee assistance services, our Colors Within Us inclusion program, and preventive health programs, we aimed to create a work environment where everyone feels safe, valued, and supported.
We believe it is our duty not just to meet today’s needs, but to prepare people for the world of tomorrow. A safe and well work environment is an investment not only for today, but also for the future. We are committed to making this approach the foundation of our corporate culture and to strengthening it every step of the way. We will continue to embody and uphold our commitment to health, safety, and wellbeing in every aspect of our work. By integrating corporate and individual value creation, we aim to help both our employees and society move toward a more sustainable future.
Our vision for Health and Wellbeing is to cultivate an inclusive and sustainable work culture where every team member can achieve complete physical, psychological, and social wellbeing. Our approach considers individual differences and life stage needs, aiming to create an environment where all employees feel safe, supported, and valued. Through comprehensive initiatives such as preventive healthcare, psychosocial safety, psychological support, promotion of healthy living habits, and caregiver assistance—we strive to enhance our employees’ wellbeing both internally and within their surrounding conditions. By developing programs grounded in respect for societal diversity, we are building a health and wellbeing ecosystem that upholds everyone’s right to equal participation and access to opportunities.
Our strategy is founded on the belief that health and wellbeing are not solely individual responsibilities but organizational priorities. To achieve this goal, we have assembled a comprehensive team comprising nine occupational physicians, three psychosocial health and safety partners, seven employee health and wellbeing partners, 10 healthcare support staff, two physiotherapists, four dietitians, five fitness trainers, and other specialists.

- Self-breast examination training for early detection of breast cancer
- Heart Health Guide
Psychosocial Risk Management
Psychosocial safety means feeling secure, supported, and valued in the workplace, providing protection against risks like stress, burnout, and social isolation. Through our Psychosocial Risk Management practices, we systematically assess risk factors and empower our employees with programs focused on healthy workload management, open communication culture, conflict prevention, and enhancing psychological resilience.
- Risk-based improvement actions (balancing demands and resources)
- Defining actions with colleagues in managerial roles
- Awareness campaigns
Psychological Safety Practices
We believe that psychological safety is reinforced by a sense of individual support, and with this awareness, we expand the realm of psychological safety through micro-support mechanisms aimed at individual wellbeing. Our Employee Assistance Programs (EAP) offer psychological counseling, occupational functionality consultations, and psychotherapy services, enabling individuals to address their internal challenges with professional support. We create a structurally safe environment through team and organizational group workshops and secure feedback mechanisms, while ensuring that each employee can receive the level of support they require through individual psychotherapy and counseling opportunities. We understand that true psychological safety is achieved when individuals feel secure both in their environment and within themselves. In 2024, a total of 75 colleagues participated in our group workshops. Additionally, we held 1,972 sessions/ meetings with 407 colleagues.

Healthy Living and Wellbeing Programs
Through our “Enerjina Sağlık” Program, we aim to create positive changes in our colleagues’ daily habits, strengthen health awareness, and enhance quality of life. Our wellbeing programs integrate health consciousness into our daily lives and behaviors. We support the spread of balanced nutrition habits through healthy eating seminars and awareness campaigns, and we promote the integration of physical activity into daily life through sports and mobility encouragement programs. In 2024, we completed 2,890 exercise sessions with 304 colleagues. We highlight the importance of rest and biological rhythm through sleep health information initiatives and aim to reduce individual risks with preventive campaigns against tobacco, alcohol, and substance addiction. For example, 17 colleagues with a body mass index (BMI) in the risky category have reduced their BMI below the critical level of 30.
Additionally, among colleagues who consulted our physiotherapists, an average 14.6% reduction in pain levels was observed. We also offer opportunities for our employees to experience healthy living together and boost their individual motivation through participatory practices like wellness challenge events, hydration campaigns, and step competitions. By supporting collective action, we aim to strengthen community awareness.
- Sports, exercise, and mobility encouragement programs
- Sleep health information initiatives
- EMS, personal training, reformer Pilates, and functional training
- Tobacco, alcohol, and substance addiction prevention campaigns
- Wellness challenge events, step competitions
- Ergonomic risk assessment
- “Blue Life Practices” Webinar Series
- Healthy Living Webinars (Health Awareness Trainings on HIV, Breast Cancer, and Cervical Cancer)
Inclusive Health Practices
We want every individual to have an equal starting point in their health and wellbeing journey. Therefore, we shape our health practices with a more inclusive perspective, offering solutions that respect each employee’s needs, life stage, and identity. Through support mechanisms sensitive to the needs of socially marginalized groups and special programs for individuals with chronic illnesses, we encourage full participation in health and wellbeing processes. Our approach, which embraces “supported selfmanagement,” allows our colleagues to set their own health goals, receive support when needed, and take more conscious, empowered steps in their daily lives. Additionally, we develop support solutions tailored to colleagues in different life stages, such as pregnancy, parenting, and aging, enabling each individual to realize their potential in a healthy and safe manner.
In light of the practices below, we identified 6 individuals at high risk of cardiovascular events in cardiology screenings conducted with 184 colleagues and implemented preventive interventions. In breast screenings conducted with 134 colleagues, we detected breast cancer in one individual and initiated treatment. Aside from these, we also supported our employees through various health programs;
- Women’s health programs (breast cancer screenings)
- Sexual health awareness programs (HPV vaccination, HIV and cervical cancer awareness initiatives)
- Inclusive psychosocial support practices for LGBTQ+ employees
- Special health monitoring and support programs for individuals with chronic illnesses (cardiological evaluations and examinations, cardiovascular risk assessments)
- Supportive programs during pregnancy and parenting processes (newborn nurse caregiver support)
- English-language counseling options in psychological health services
Caregiver Support
Care responsibilities and caregiving labor, which significantly impact our colleagues’ work-life balance, are increasingly recognized realities of the workforce. Responsibilities such as caring for children, the elderly, individuals with chronic illnesses, or those with special needs can directly affect employees’ physical and mental load. Caregiver support practices play a critical role in preventing burnout under caregiving burdens, preserving emotional wellbeing, and maintaining a more balanced life.
In this context, we designed our “Good Enough” parenting counseling program to reduce parental caregiving burdens, create sharing spaces, and provide psychosocial support. Inspired by Winnicott’s “good enough parenting” approach, 25 colleagues came together in this program to share experiences, receive individual counseling, and offer peer support through group activities.
- Psychosocial Support: Specialized psychological counseling to help manage caregiving burdens
- Information and Education Programs: Training for caregivers on stress management, time management, and access to support resources
- Easy Access to Care Resources: Sharing information and providing guidance services about service providers in areas like childcare and eldercare
- Care Support Groups: Establishing peer support groups where employees with similar responsibilities can share experiences
- Newborn Nurse Support: Providing in-home support to parents for seven days post-birth, offering education on newborn care, baby care, and nutrition
Colors Within Us
The “Colors Within Us” program is a holistic initiative aimed at fostering inclusion, diversity, and equity within our corporate culture, striving for a sustainable inclusion transformation. The program focuses on building a work environment where all colleagues, regardless of their diverse identities, experiences, and perspectives, feel safe, valued, and equal. In this scope, policies adopting a zero-tolerance approach to all forms of discrimination are developed. To support inclusive and respectful communication in the workplace, awareness-raising activities are conducted regarding language, behavior, and interaction practices.
Through training programs, workshops, and interactive events, the awareness that diversity is a source of richness is disseminated throughout the organization. The program encompasses not only visible diversity elements but also deeper layers such as thought patterns, emotional experiences, and life backgrounds. This approach encourages an environment where every individual can contribute to the organization with their unique colors.
“Colors Within Us” is carried out within a systematic framework led by Psychosocial Health and Safety Partners to strengthen employee wellbeing and psychological safety. The program aims to reinforce employees’ sense of belonging, increase equal opportunity within the organization, and support equity-focused leadership understanding at all levels. In line with this approach, “Colors Within Us” is positioned not just as a project but as a living and evolving cultural change movement permeating every area of the organization.
