ABSTRACT

The instructions directives to be written in the field of occupational health and safety, which are a natural part of production and part of obligations of the employer, is one of the practical responses of the employer’s “management right”. Instructions can be considered as a tool that provides the employer with the opportunity to both exercise the right to management, which is the unique aspect of the business relationship, and to fulfill the obligations and surveillance responsibility for the employees. Isntructions are an “internal agreement” that workers are also obliged to comply with unless they are against the law, collective bargaining agreement and employment contract. The establishment and implementation of the occupational health and safety system within enterprises may not be achieved only through the relevant laws and regulations. Occasionally, professionals who have to carry out occupational health and safety-related services on behalf of the employer or employer him or herself may need to write specific instructions. However, this issue is not included in the training and skill acquisition processes of occupational health and safety professionals. This study aims to examine the importance of occupational health and safety instructions, its place in law, its features in terms of practice and the process of writing
