Pursuant to Act No. 124/2006 Coll. (On occupational safety and health) as amended, it applies to virtually all employers and employees in the production and non-production sphere. In this article, we’ll discuss what do you need to know about OHS.
What does a company need to do to have OHS in order?
- Have an OHS documentation drawn up (details of employees and a description of their work activities must be provided)
- make the premises available for inspection by a safety engineer from 3MON s.r.o.
How long does it take to arrange OHS and FPP?
We will usually prepare the documentation within 1 week from the delivery of all necessary documents. The nature of the company should always be taken into consideration, for some industries the H&S and PPE documentation may be more complex and time consuming to prepare.
One working day should be set aside for employee training .
How much does OHS and FPP cost?
Preparation of documentation – from EUR 220 excluding VAT
Employee training – EUR 14 excl. VAT / employee
The documentation is a one-off if the focus and type of activities of the company do not change.
Employees need to be trained when they start work or when they move to another position where they come into contact with different working procedures and equipment.
Penalties for non-compliance with legal OHS and OHS obligations
OSH inspections are carried out in companies by the labour inspectorate. If your company fails to draw up the necessary documents and train its employees, it faces fines of between EUR 1 000 and EUR 200 000 when inspected.
