The industrial sector is simply the sector that produces ready-to-use products from raw materials or semi-processed materials. However, this sector is not seen as simple as defined. Today, the industrial sector has directed the economy of the countries and is among the main sectors that show the level of development of the countries.
The establishment of an industrial facility depends on the provision of sufficient capital, energy resources, raw material resources, transportation and marketing activities, the use of labor and technical staff and many factors. With the diversity and abundance of raw material resources in our country, the existence of rich mineral and water resources in terms of energy production, the emphasis on converting thermal power plants to natural gas in recent years and the establishment of new hydroelectric power plants, the industrial sector has been developing significantly.
The main industrial sectors in the industrial sector are:
- Food and beverage industry (this sector in itself flour and bakery products industry, sugar and sugar food industry, milk and dairy products industry, meat and meat products industry, tea industry, canned industry, vegetable oil industry and tobacco and alcoholic beverage industry sectors)
- Textile (woven), leather and clothing industry
- Mining Industry
- Automotive and metalware industry
- Chemical Industry
- Stone and soil based industry
- Forestry products industry
In these industrial areas, many small and large machines and equipment are used in production facilities. These machines and equipment are used in various stages of production, as well as in many stages from transport, packaging, storage, shipment and delivery of products to consumers.
The current regulations on occupational health and safety provide many conditions in order to protect the health and safety of employees. At the same time, many standards have been developed by domestic and foreign organizations. The sole purpose of all these efforts is to protect and safeguard the health of employees.
Employees are exposed to the dangers posed by the machinery and equipment they use in production, as well as the noise, vibration, noise, dust and especially chemicals that emerge in the environment during their work. Inspection of industrial areas should be carried out regularly in terms of both the safety of employees and the safety of employers.
Authorized test and inspection organizations also carry out industrial area inspections within the scope of environmental inspections.
Regular inspections and inspections are mandatory for businesses operating in industrial areas, and are required both in terms of product safety and market surveillance audits. Businesses wishing to send their products to other countries, especially European Union countries, have proved that their products comply with international standards. In this respect, testing, measurement, analysis, inspection and control of industrial products have become a necessity.
On the other hand, in terms of occupational health and safety, the basic requirements of industrial products include not only production conditions and stages of production, but also controls and inspections to be carried out after the production of these products to the market. The enterprises are obliged to have regular inspections of the used machinery and equipment at least once a year, in the light of the assessments in the risk analysis, unless otherwise stipulated.
