Environmental Inspections

 Radioactive substances are strong sources of energy. They have properties that make glow from themselves. It is not possible to stop this radiation. Radioactivity is related to the nuclear structure of the atom. A radioactive atom makes the compound it enters into its structure radioactive. The spontaneous decomposition and disintegration of an atom without any effect from outside, and its radiation during this separation is called radioactivity. The radioactivity event was first discovered in 1896. The compounds of radioactive elements also have the same radioactive properties. Therefore, radioactivity is a change in the nucleus that depends only on the nucleus structure of the atom.

The main types of radiation are alpha rays, beta rays and gamma rays. Alpha rays can be absorbed by a thin layer of paper or human skin. Beta streams can be absorbed by a thin layer of metal. Gamma rays can penetrate more solid and thick materials. For example, gamma rays can be absorbed by dense materials such as lead and concrete.

Humans' sense organs cannot detect the presence of radiation. Detection and measurement of radiation is only possible with radiation sensitive devices. Moreover, the measuring devices can measure only the part of the radiation that interacts with the substance, not the entire radiation. Some sources of radiation are natural and some are artificial. Radiation is mainly an energy. Radiation can be obtained from the breathing air, edible food or building materials used in construction. Radiation is a part of the environment in short. Natural radiation sources are cosmic rays coming from space, gamma rays emitted from short half-life radioisotopes in the earth, radioactive elements in the human body and radon gas produced by the decay of radium. Artificial radioactive substances, nuclear precipitation during nuclear bomb trials, radioactive substances emitted in nuclear power generation, radioactive substances used in some consumer products. Radiation applications used in the medical field are concentrated in two points: in image acquisition systems and in the treatment of tumors. In other words, radiation is used in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases.

The industrial use of radiation is quite high. Radiation is used in education and research studies, safety studies and consumer products. Radiation is used in areas such as radiography, radioscopy, density and humidity measurements, process control processes such as density, thickness, weight, level, lightning rod, smoke detector and production of different consumer products.

Radiation exposure has serious hazards to human health and the environment. Radiation carries enough energy to break down DNA. The disintegration of DNA means the death of cells. Irresponsible to the environment, radioactive substances are a great danger to the health of humans, animals and plants. The natural environment and ecological balance are disrupted.

Authorized test and inspection organizations also carry out the inspections of radioactive areas within the scope of environmental inspections. Measurement, testing and inspections carried out by the competent authorities are extremely important. The studies are based on standards and legal regulations published by domestic and foreign organizations.

 The industrial sector is simply an industry that produces ready-to-use products from raw materials or semi-processed materials. However, this sector is not as simple as defined. Today, the industrial sector is the main sector that directs the economy of the countries and shows the development level of the countries.

The establishment of an industrial facility depends on the provision of sufficient capital, energy resources, raw material resources, operation and marketing activities, the use of labor and technical personnel and many factors. In our country, the industrial sector shows a serious development with the abundant and varied raw material resources, the presence of mineral and water resources rich in energy production, the emphasis on the conversion of thermal power plants to natural gas and the establishment of new hydroelectric power plants in recent years.

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 machines and equipments 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 are being developed by domestic and foreign organizations. The sole purpose of all these studies is to protect the health of the employees.

Employees are exposed to the dangers posed by the machinery and equipment they use in production, as well as to the noise, vibration, noise, dust and especially chemicals that occur 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 have been made mandatory for enterprises operating in industrial areas and are also necessary for both 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 the production conditions and stages of production, but also the controls and inspections to be carried out at the stage of placing these products on the market after production. 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.

 In industrial production companies, all products are designed from scratch or come to life with special engineering studies. In industrial manufacturing companies, customers can order a product that is already in stock in the enterprise stock, and can order some additional features and options for pre-designed but not yet manufactured products. For this reason, industrial production companies focus more on operational efficiency.

Industrial production areas are very wide. From agricultural machinery to medical products, from the automotive sector to the aviation sector, many sectors operating in different characteristics and qualities are entering the industrial production field. As a matter of fact, industrial production areas are inevitably complex. If many published standards and legal regulations are not respected, businesses may encounter unexpected situations. In addition, quality production, efficient production, human health and safety, and even compliance with international regulations are important requirements.

Many authorized test and inspection organizations provide test, measurement, analysis, supervision, inspection and control services in order to ensure the correct and complete operation of the production processes of the enterprises and to avoid any problems both during the production activities and the use of the produced goods. These services cover not only the control of production processes, but also the process of packaging, storing, transporting, dispatching and delivering products to consumers.

Within this framework, many services are provided to enterprises such as material testing, process design, operational support in production facilities, quality control, regular control and inspection of machines and establishment of various management systems.

This is due to the fact that businesses operate more strongly, more efficiently, more profitably and more competitively, and that both products and processes are suitable for industrial production areas, while at the same time complying with applicable regulatory requirements.

Authorized test and inspection organizations also carry out inspections of industrial production areas within the scope of environmental inspections. The main industrial production areas are:

• Chemicals: One of the sectors that directly affects people's lives is the chemical products sector. In this sector, which is intended to be under strict control with domestic and foreign legal regulations, enterprises are kept under constant examination.
• Civil engineering and building materials: The construction sector is the driving force of the economy. However, it is one of the most dangerous sectors in terms of people's safety.
• Forest and paper products: Cost control, performance improvement, sustainability, supply chain management, environmental management and operational risk management are important issues in this sector.
• Metal and mining industry: These are the sectors with the highest number of occupational accidents. Businesses must further comply with standards and regulations on occupational health and safety.
• Transport and logistics: This sector also plays an important role in industrial production.

One of the most important issues in industrial production is environmental conditions. Not to pollute the nature and protect the natural environment during activities is a priority for all businesses from the smallest to the largest. Consumers are now more conscious about it.

People who worked and worked for a whole year deserve a nice holiday, of course. Even if some people turn into search for alternative holidays such as holiday preferences, history and culture holidays, nature holidays, plateau holidays and winter holidays, the sea and sun holidays are at the forefront of many people's holiday understanding for today. They look forward to the summer holiday and throw themselves at hotels and resorts as soon as possible.

The management of hotels and resorts is one of the most important sub-sectors that provide a significant foreign exchange input for the economy of our country, in which the tourism sector develops very rapidly. Parallel to the holiday concept of the people, tourism movements and accommodation needs have always been important as long as the first people existed.

The main factor that produces and offers services in the management of hotels and resorts is human. But without the assets of these businesses, people cannot do anything alone. These assets, starting from the offices and buildings of hotels and holiday villages, refer to a wide range of machines, equipment, systems and all kinds of inputs.

Tourism sector is a service sector. The production, delivery and satisfaction of the people staying in these facilities are actually abstract concepts, and the satisfaction levels of those who benefit from these services differ from each other. But most important of all, the services provided in hotels and holiday villages are important for the health and safety of people.

Facilities must be free from any risks in terms of operational safety and must have safety conditions that will not threaten the safety of people. This issue has a very broad meaning. From the maintenance of elevators used in the facilities, to the fire and security systems, from the security of the pool and sports areas to the hygiene of the kitchens, from the training and experience of the employees to the possible dangers of all kinds of electrical and electronic devices, it is necessary to carry out regular inspections and inspections of all kinds of risks.

Inspections of hotels and resorts by authorized institutions are carried out in accordance with the legal regulations in force and the standards published by domestic and foreign organizations. Accidents in pools and fatalities, people poisoned by meals, accidents caused by electric leakage in disco entertainment, various fires are always caused by the failure of timely inspection and inspection of used machines or equipment. The services provided by hotels and holiday villages are human centered and it is therefore very important to comply with certain standards and criteria.

Authorized test and inspection organizations also carry out hotel and holiday village inspections within the scope of environmental inspections. A few standards considered during these studies are:

• TS 10082 Business - Accommodation facilities - Hotels with tourism certificate - Classification - General and special rules
• TS 6915 Business - Accommodation - General rules
• TS 12436 Fire prevention - General in holiday villages
• TS ISO / TS 13811 Tourism and related services - Rules for developing environmental conditions for accommodation facilities
