Türkiye’de otomotiv ve otomotiv yan sanayi sektörü başta Marmara Bölgesi olmak üzere, çeşitli illerimizde ciddi gelişimler göstermiştir. Özellikle Bursa, İstanbul, İzmir, Kocaeli, Konya, Ankara, Adana ve Manisa Türkiye’de otomotiv ve yan sanayisinin geliştiği iller içerisinde en önemli yeri tutarlar. Türkiye’de otomotiv ve bu sektöre bağlı yan sanayi 1950’li yıllarda cılız hareketlerle başlamasına rağmen, ilk ciddi gelişim Devrim adı verilen Türk imalatı otomobillerin üretimi ile başlamıştır. Ancak Türkiye’de seri halde otomobil üretiminin Anadol markası ile 1966 yılında başladığı bilinmektedir. 1970’lerde yeni montaj hatlarının kurulmasıyla birlikte başka marka araçların da ülkemizde seri üretiminin yapıldığı görülmektedir. Otomotiv ve otomotiv yan sanayisiyle ilgili altyapı ve üst yapı yatırımları, Türkiye’nin 1980’ler ile 1990’lı yıllarında bu sektörü hızla ülke ekonomisi içerisinde üst sıralara taşımıştır.

At present, publicly listed companies are not legally required to include health and safety matters in their annual reports. The current Health and Safety Commission (HSC) Strategy Statement, however, contains an action point which focuses on public reporting of health and safety issues by larger companies. The aim is to promote the reporting of health and safety information in company annual reports and to provide guidance that would allow reporting of such information to a common standard. To assist the HSC with this strategy, System Concepts were commissioned by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) to undertake an investigation of the provision of health and safety information in company annual reports. The study comprised a series of steps. The main objectives of the study were: i) To determine the current level of reporting of health and safety issues in annual reports of the top UK companies ii) To determine the quality of health and safety information reported.
