FOR WORKPLACES WHICH EMPLOY LESS THAN 50 EMPLOYEES AND CLASSIFIED AS LESS HAZARDOUS
Article 38 of the Occupational Health and Safety Services Law numbered 6331 (“Law”) has already stipulated that the obligation to procure occupational safety specialist and workplace doctor services for workplaces classified as less hazardous with less than fifty employees shall enter into force on December 31, 2024. The obligation to procure these services for workplaces classified as less hazardous with less than 50 employees started on January 1, 2025.
