Sector-Specific OHS Solutions
Customized OHS solutions designed specifically for each sector
Industry & Manufacturing
NACE C — manufacturing. Food and beverage manufacturing sits in the Food & Agriculture view, and coke and refined petroleum products in the Oil & Gas view.
Oil & Gas
Crude petroleum and natural gas extraction together with coke and refined petroleum manufacturing. The code table also carries support activities for petroleum and gas extraction, gas distribution and pipeline transport; their accident figures are published under their own divisions, so they are not added to the table.
Energy Production
NACE D — electricity, gas, steam and air conditioning supply.
Mining
NACE B — mining and quarrying. Crude petroleum and natural gas extraction sits in the Oil & Gas view.
Construction & sites
NACE F — construction of buildings, civil engineering and specialised construction activities.
Transportation & Logistics
Land transport and transport via pipelines, warehousing and support activities, postal and courier services. Air and water transport have their own views.
Aviation & airports
Air transport. The code table also carries aviation support services, aircraft manufacturing and aircraft repair; their accident figures are published under their own divisions.
Maritime & ports
Water transport. The code table also carries port and waterway support services, shipbuilding and ship repair.
Healthcare & care services
Human health activities, residential care and social work; veterinary activities are in this view as well.
Education & Public
Education, public administration and activities of membership organisations. Public administration also appears in the Defense Industry view.
Food & Agriculture
Agriculture, forestry and fishing together with the manufacture of food products and beverages.
Retail & Services
Wholesale and retail trade, accommodation and food service, rental, employment, travel, security and building services, arts, sports and recreation, repair and other service activities.
Technology & offices
Information technology, communication, finance, real estate and office-based professional and administrative activities. Most codes in this view are in the least hazardous class.
Waste & Environment
NACE E — water supply, sewerage, waste management and remediation activities.
Defense Industry
Defense is not a separate NACE division: it is spread across the manufacture of weapons and ammunition, aircraft, military fighting vehicles and defence activities. The code table shows those four classes; because SGK publishes only at division level, the accident table covers those divisions in full.
What a sector view contains
A sector here is not a label but a working set: the hazards that recur in that line of work, the module set that answers them, the legislation it is tied to, its activity breakdown and its field scenarios.
- OHS ChallengesThe hazard groups that recur in that line of work and the exposures they create.
- OHS SolutionsThe module set that answers those hazards: risk assessment, training, health surveillance, equipment inspection.
- Related RegulationsThe legislation the sector is tied to, held as a link to the source rather than a copy, so it cannot go stale.
- SubsectorsThe NACE activity breakdown that sits under the sector heading.
- Use CasesField scenarios: what is recorded, who records it, and which output it produces.
Sector, NACE code and hazard class
In Türkiye a workplace's hazard class is read from its NACE activity code, and the class then sets the mandatory OHS service durations and the fine bracket. The whole code list is open on the free query page: 2,142 activities in three classes.
Legal basis
The table shows the obligations of the legislation region you pick in the top bar; it refreshes without reloading the page when the region changes.
