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.
