Elazığ CCI HES Implementation Announcement

Dear Member,

A letter sent to our Chamber by The Union of Chambers and Commodity Exchanges of Türkiye refers to the obligation to declare and verify the HES Code that has been introduced for employees and visitor entries at Public Institutions and Organisations. Under the said practice, all staff working at the institution are asked to obtain unlimited-duration HES codes and submit them to the Human Resources Directorate. The collected HES codes are checked via e-Government before employees arrive at work in the morning, and the entry cards of employees who receive a risk warning are temporarily cancelled and they are referred to the nearest health facility. When the risk warning is removed, the employees are allowed to enter again.

Persons coming for business or visits are also asked to prepare their HES codes, and after the necessary checks are carried out via e-Government at the entrance, they are admitted as guests or visitors if there is no risky situation.

Due to the increasing number of cases day by day, our Chamber has switched to the HES Code Verification Practice. In the belief that it would be beneficial for a similar control system to be implemented by our members as well, in order to prevent the spread of Covid-19 in workplaces, protect the health of employees and the public, and identify risky persons, we submit the matter for your information.

Kind regards,

Elazığ Chamber of Commerce and Industry
