How is an OSGB contract approved in İSG-KATİP?
The contract is drawn up on the İSG-KATİP template, and both the employer and the OSGB must approve it in the system within 5 days. A physician or specialist cannot start work under an unapproved assignment.
How quickly must an occupational accident be reported to the SGK?
An occupational accident must be reported to the Social Security Institution (SGK) within 3 working days of the accident, and an occupational disease within 3 working days of it becoming known.
What should I do if I want to change my OSGB?
Check the termination terms of your current contract; termination must be notified in İSG-KATİP within 5 working days. To avoid a gap in service, the approval of the new contract should be planned in the same process, and we can plan the switch with you.
When must the risk assessment be renewed?
It must be renewed at least every 2 years in very hazardous, 4 years in hazardous and 6 years in less hazardous workplaces. It must be updated without waiting in cases such as relocation, new equipment or technology, an occupational accident or disease, or a near miss.
