The short answer: In Turkey, instead of a single and independent regulation that is called “ECD Regulations”; the employer’s obligations to ensure employee health and safety, prevent risks, provide training, make equipment safe and monitor the measures taken are included in different work health and safety regulations.
Which law is based in Turkey?
6331 Law on Occupational Health and Safety; the employer is responsible for preventing professional risks, providing training and information, providing the necessary tools, monitoring measures and removing disadvantages. Regulations relating to safe use of work equipment, maintenance-examination work and risk assessment also require that energy isolation be treated in a manner specific to the operation.
Why is ECED prepared as a separate procedure?
To enforce the general obligations in the field, energy sources are identified, stopped, separated, locked, labelled, stored energy removal, zero-energy verification and safe operation steps are written.
OSHA 1910.147 is a direct law in Turkey?
No. OSHA 29 CFR 1910.147 is the U.S. legislation. it should not be presented as a law that is directly in force in Turkey; but dangerous energy control program is one of the detailed and internationally accepted technical references when designing.
What should the business prepare?
Energy control policy, machine-specific procedures, energy point inventory, visual instructions, authorization, training records, lock and key management, inspection records and the emergency lock removal method should be established together.
