In Turkey, a regulation is being planned to increase building safety, requiring masters working in construction and plumbing to obtain a certificate. Following evaluations after earthquakes in Kahramanmaraş, decisions were made to introduce some regulations related to construction processes. In this context, a draft regulation called “Regulation on Construction Masters” was prepared, sent to relevant institutions and organizations for their opinions. If the regulation prepared under the coordination of the Ministry of Environment, Urbanization, and Climate Change comes into effect, construction contractors and site managers will not be able to employ masters who do not have a certificate in construction and plumbing work. Masters who will work on construction projects will be required to register on the “Site-M System” through the e-Government Gateway and renew their registration every five years. It is expected that the regulation will also increase building safety. The President of the Construction Contractors Confederation (İMKON), Tahir Tellioğlu, stated that certifying masters, especially in heavy branches that support the load-bearing system, is a positive development for building solidity. Emphasizing that Turkey is a seismic country and building safety is vital, Tellioğlu said, “It is not enough to only hold the contractor, constructor, and architect responsible. There are stakeholders in a construction process. The engineer drawing the project, the architect, the municipality giving the permit, the contractor managing the job, the working master, the concrete supplier, the iron provider, they are all part of this process. Therefore, it is of great importance that everyone is competent in the subject.” Addressing that unskilled masters negatively affect building quality, Tellioğlu stated, “A steelworker may sell scrap-heavy steel as appropriate steel. A concrete worker may use concrete with low dosage. A master may not tie the stirrup properly when knitting the steel, may not include rust allowance, may not act in accordance with the project. All of these endanger building safety.” Stressing the importance of mandating certification for masters working in heavy branches that support the load-bearing system in the construction sector, Tellioğlu highlighted the need to reinstate previously revoked incentives. He noted, “The obligation of a master certificate is crucial for both occupational health and safety, accident prevention, and building quality. Additionally, the current certification process needs to be reviewed. The current master certification system is an exam that confirms whether the person is a master rather than training and educating them. However, if there is insufficient improvement in the performance of masters after certification, it is crucial to reassess this process and support it with training.”
