Health and Safety at Work – Custom Solutions for Every Business
Health and Safety at work is a critical aspect of every workplace. No matter the size or industry, properly implemented Health and Safety measures protect employees, reduce the risk of accidents, and ensure compliance with legal regulations. We offer expert consultancy, tailored training, and documentation to help you maintain a safe, compliant, and efficient working environment.
The OHS documentation includes guidelines, principles of safe work for specific activities, a list of personal protective equipment provided, a trauma plan, and an accident book. Depending on the specific nature of the work activities, each company may have a different structure for the content of its OHS documentation.
Employee training is required by Act No. 124/2006 Coll., which helps employees recognize risks and prevent accidents, injuries, and damage to health. Regular training leads to the creation of a culture of safety in the workplace. Employees are more aware of their responsibility for themselves and their colleagues and behave more cautiously.
The employer is obliged to register any accident at work that results in the employee being unable to work for more than three days or in the death of the employee as a result of the accident.
The procedure for dealing with accidents at work is regulated by law (in particular by Act No. 124/2006 Coll. on occupational health and safety and Decree No. 500/2006 Coll.) and should be clearly defined in every company.
Personal protective equipment is determined based on a risk assessment and evaluation of the hazards arising from the job position and the work environment. Personal protective equipment is provided by the employer when the hazard cannot be eliminated or reduced by technical means, collective protection measures, or methods and forms of work organization.
The employer is obliged to personal protective equipment in accordance with the legislation: Act No. 124/2006 Coll. on occupational health and safety and Decree No. 395/2006 Coll. on PPE.
The employer is obliged to ensure health surveillance, including preventive medical examinations in relation to work. Examinations are carried out at regular intervals, taking into account the nature of the work and working conditions at the workplace, as well as when requested by the employee.
Health surveillance is provided by the occupational health service. The intervals between medical examinations are determined by the occupational health service based on the categorization of work.
This obligation arises from Act No. 355/2007 Coll. on the protection, support and development of public health (§ 30 and § 31).
