ISG Obligations in Turkey

ISG Obligations in Turkey

As a professional operating under umbrella company (payroll) services in Turkey, you are aware that occupational health and safety (ISG – İş Sağlığı ve Güvenliği) obligations are strict and governed by Law No. 6331.

At Azkan Group, we support both employees and companies by offering a comprehensive umbrella company solution. As the legal employer, we handle all ISG obligations on your behalf in a compliant and simplified manner.

In this article, we explain how we can quickly and legally provide the following essential elements to ensure your compliance:

  • Occupational health and safety training
  • ISG-KATİP registration
  • Basic occupational health and safety certificate
  • Occupational health services
  • ISG organizational chart

1. What is ISG and why is it mandatory?

ISG (İş Sağlığı ve Güvenliği) encompasses all measures aimed at protecting the health and safety of employees in the workplace. It is mandatory for all companies operating in Turkey, including umbrella companies acting as the legal employer of assigned employees.


2. The central role of ISG-KATİP

All ISG obligations must be recorded, monitored, and validated within the official ISG-KATİP system managed by the Turkish Ministry of Labor.

Without proper registration in this system:

  • ISG services are considered invalid
  • even if they have actually been carried out

This makes accurate and continuous system management critical for compliance.


3. What Azkan Group provides

Through our umbrella company services, we centralize and manage all ISG-related processes for you via an authorized OSGB (Occupational Health and Safety Service Provider) and the ISG-KATİP system.

1. Occupational health and safety training

We organize mandatory OHS training for each employee, either on-site or online depending on the job risk level.

2. ISG-KATİP registration

We handle:

  • employee and employer registration in the system
  • creation and validation of contracts with ISG professionals
  • real-time compliance monitoring

3. Basic ISG certificate

After completing the mandatory training, we issue the official ISG basic certificate. This document is registered in ISG-KATİP and serves as proof during inspections.

4. Occupational health services

We provide access to a certified occupational physician who performs:

  • pre-employment medical checks
  • periodic examinations
  • exit medical evaluations

All services are officially declared within ISG-KATİP.

5. ISG organizational chart

We prepare and validate the ISG organizational structure (a chart outlining roles and responsibilities in risk prevention), a document often required by the authorities.
