2024 Risk Management Symposium

16-17 Kasım 2024

Today, risk management is an interdisciplinary concept and is used by many different functions. In terms of occupational health and safety, since the main purpose is to protect the employee, it is thought that if we eliminate or control the hazards in the working environment, an ecosystem without health and safety risks will be created.
