HSE Management System Scope

The ISO 14001 Environmental Management System, ISO 45001 Occupational Health and Safety Management System, and ISO 50001 Energy Management System apply to all Özyeğin University employees, students, visitors, subcontractors, and business partners. The management systems are effective within the limits of the Özyeğin University Çekmeköy Campus. Subcontractors and business partners may develop their own Health & Safety, Emergency, and Environment Plans for their own operations in line with Özyeğin University’s Health & Safety, Emergency, and Environmental Management Plans. However, in such a case, they must obtain the approval of  HSE Coordinator at Özyeğin University in order to maintain alignment and coordination with Özyeğin University’s Health& Safety, Emergency, and Environmental Management Plans as well as obtaining approval of the Energy Manager at Özyeğin University for energy-related matters.

The Energy Management System is an integral part of the Environmental Management System, and energy management is addressed within the scope of environmental management.

The Environmental Management Plan is used together with and is an integral part of the Health and Safety Plan. Özyeğin University established its Health & Safety, Emergency, and Environmental Management Plans in accordance with the ISO 14001:2015  Environmental Management System, the ISO 45001:2018 Occupational Health and Safety Management System, and the ISO 50001:2018 Energy Management System standards as well as effective laws and regulations.

The scope of these management plans at Özyeğin University covers higher education activities, and social and administrative services. These management plans include the terms and conditions of the ISO 14001:2015 Environmental Management System and the ISO 45001:2018 Occupational Health and Safety Management System, and the ISO 50001:2018 Energy Management System standards, their implementation and continuous improvement across all units at Özyeğin University, enhancement of the Health, Safety and Environment performance, achievement of goals and objectives, fulfillment of legal compliance obligations, as well as internal and external issues, contexts, ongoing activities and services, and any potential risks and opportunities pertaining to Health, Safety and Environment.

Özyeğin University has identified its internal and external issues pertaining to its mission and strategic goals, recognizing their potential impact on the achievement of the intended goals outlined in its management systems. Accordingly, Özyeğin University, although being an international institution, continuously evaluates and meets its local, legal, and applicable requirements and obligations.

Özyeğin University senior management guarantees that they will duly fulfill all of the commitments under this policy, take the lead for the Environmental Management System, Occupational Health and Safety Management System, and Environmental Management System, and ensure quality assurance for all of these processes.
