Every facility with its own substation that is fed at medium voltage must appoint a High-Voltage Operating Responsible engineer (YGİS). Under Turkey's Power Installations Regulation (EKAT), this is both a legal requirement and a cornerstone of workplace electrical safety.
What is YGİS?
YGİS is the service whereby an EMO-registered electrical engineer takes legal responsibility for operating a facility's high-voltage installation in compliance. The responsible engineer covers periodic maintenance, measurement, reporting and — when needed — fault response.
Why is it mandatory?
Under OHS Law No. 6331 and EKAT, failing to appoint an operating-responsible engineer:
- Triggers administrative fines
- Creates heavy legal liability in work accidents
- May result in insurance refusal
