Osmangazi OSGB: workplace physicians and OHS specialists from DOSAB to the historic bazaar
The head office of Bursa Sistemer OSGB is in the neighbouring district of Nilüfer, at Kale Plaza on İzmir Yolu. We provide contracted, planned services through İSG-KATİP to workplaces across the district, from shift-based production in Demirtaş OSB to small shops in the bazaar.

Two separate OHS worlds in Osmangazi: the OSB and the historic city centre
Most employers looking for an OSGB (joint health and safety unit) in Osmangazi fall into one of two very different profiles. On one side are the large plants of the Demirtaş Organised Industrial Zone (DOSAB), where automotive manufacturers and suppliers stand out: shift-based production, press and welding lines, forklift traffic. On the other side are the shops, offices, workshops and food and drink businesses in the Hanlar district, around the Covered Bazaar (Kapalıçarşı) and along the main streets; most are in the less hazardous class and have few employees. The two cannot be approached with the same plan.
Our head office is in the neighbouring district of Nilüfer, at Kale Plaza in the Üçevler neighbourhood (İzmir Yolu Caddesi). Because the two districts are next to each other, the first meeting, the pre-contract site visit and the handover of documents can easily be done face to face. The planning we run from our head office also covers workplaces in Keles, Orhaneli, Büyükorhan and Harmancık, which do not have their own area pages.
For plants in DOSAB, we calculate the workplace physician and OHS specialist time according to headcount and hazard class, and schedule visit days around the shift pattern. In the NACE Rev.2.1 list renewed in 2025, the manufacture of motor vehicle parts (29.32.20) is in the hazardous class. If the same plant also carries out a very hazardous main activity, such as laser cutting of metals (25.53.03), the higher class applies; we clarify this before the contract is signed.
For small businesses in the city centre, the picture changed at the end of 2025. Under the Constitutional Court decision published in the Official Gazette on 9 December 2025, less hazardous workplaces with fewer than 50 employees are now also required to appoint an OHS specialist and a workplace physician. For a jeweller, an office or a café the legal time is short: in the less hazardous class, 5 minutes per employee per month for the physician and 10 minutes for the specialist. We combine this time within the contract year into a small number of productive visits.
In the historic Hisar area, Osmangazi Municipality’s restoration and urban design projects are ongoing. This work is a separate matter: site preparation is in the very hazardous class, and building scaffolding is subject to periodic inspection every 6 months.

Points we focus on when planning in Osmangazi
Visits planned around shifts
In DOSAB plants that work in shifts, we do not pile specialist and physician visits into day shifts only; training and medical examinations for night-shift employees are also on the schedule.
Combining time in small workplaces
In less hazardous workplaces with fewer than 50 employees, the monthly time can be combined within the same contract year. For shops in the bazaar we plan a few full visits a year.
Evacuation in hans and arcades
In historic hans and multi-storey arcades, exits are shared. We prepare the emergency plan in coordination with neighbouring businesses and agree the assembly point together.
Restoration sites
In restoration projects in and around Hisar, scaffolding is inspected every 6 months; working at height and the structural condition of the old building are recorded separately in the risk assessment.

Frequently asked questions about OSGB services in Osmangazi
Your office is in Nilüfer; do I need to come to the office for my workplace in Osmangazi?
No. The service is based on visits to your workplace; the specialist and physician work on site. If you would like to come to our Kale Plaza office in Üçevler, Nilüfer, for the first meeting, the contract signing or the handover of documents, we can arrange that too. The contract is prepared according to the template in İSG-KATİP (the Ministry’s OHS registration system), and both parties approve it in the system within 5 days at the latest; the service cannot start with an unapproved appointment.
I have a shop with 4 employees in the Hanlar district; is an OSGB mandatory?
Since the Constitutional Court decision, less hazardous workplaces with fewer than 50 employees are also required to appoint an OHS specialist and a workplace physician. You can obtain this service from an OSGB. Alternatively, the employer or their representative can complete the Ministry training, sign an undertaking in İSG-KATİP and carry out the service themselves; pre-employment and periodic medical examinations are excluded from this. We can review the options together using the obligations calculator.
Does our factory in DOSAB need a workplace nurse (DSP)?
Only if your main activity is in the very hazardous class and you have 10 or more employees. The manufacture of automotive parts is in the hazardous class in the 2025 list; however, if very hazardous work such as laser cutting or nickel plating is also carried out, the class goes up. If a full-time workplace physician is appointed, other health personnel (DSP) are not required. We check your code together and clarify whether you need workplace nursing.
Does our restoration project in Hisar need separate planning?
Yes. If the site operates under its own workplace registration, the OHS service is planned separately for that workplace. Because site preparation is in the very hazardous class, the minimum time is 40 minutes per employee per month for the specialist and 15 minutes for the physician. We tie the periodic inspections of scaffolding and lifting equipment, carried out through our solution partners, to the work schedule.
Do you also serve our branch in Keles, Orhaneli or Harmancık?
Yes. Although these districts and Büyükorhan do not have their own area pages, our service area is the whole of Bursa. For workplaces far from the centre we group visits on planned days and combine tasks such as training and medical examinations in the same visit. Visit days are set in writing together with the contract.
