Selection Process 

After submitting their application, including crucial safety data, to the designated authority agency, OTK was selected as one of the first shortlisted candidates out of 200 companies that applied, showcasing the strength of their safety initiatives.

In the following months, a team of five experts from relevant authorities conducted a thorough on-site evaluation of their safety systems and firefighting facilities. This evaluation was pivotal in determining the award's recipient.
