Alcohol, drugs and smoking habits not only affect performance in the workplace, but also create serious dangers in terms of Technical Safety, Environment, Health and productivity. The habit that has gained continuity negatively affects the health of the person. The company wants all employees to be aware of this danger and aims to minimize the risks in this respect. In order to achieve this, the following principles have been put into practice:

SANCTION OF DRIVING WITH ALCOHOL:
The company will impose a disciplinary sanction on those who have been tested by the police for alcohol and whose alcohol level is higher than the legal limit (500 ppm alcohol in the blood). Professional drivers of the company and contractor personnel are prohibited from driving while under the influence of alcohol. “Being under the influence of alcohol” will be evaluated according to the criteria specified in the Traffic Law.

Those who are convinced to receive treatment are temporarily removed from the above-mentioned duties and assigned to more passive tasks, provided that they are brought back to that position when the treatment is completed, or they are deemed to be on paid leave during the treatment. This leave cannot be deducted from annual paid leave.
