Every employer who employs at least one person is required to ensure the provision of an Occupational Health Service.
This obligation arises from legal requirements and aims to protect employees’ health, prevent workplace injuries, and reduce the risk of occupational diseases.

In addition, it maintains the necessary documentation and cooperates with the employer in proposing and implementing measures to improve working conditions.
Preventive medical examinations related to work are performed at regular intervals based on job categorization or according to specific legal regulations.
For jobs classified in categories 1 and 2, the frequency of examinations is recommended by the Occupational Health Service (OHS). For category 3 jobs, examinations are carried out every two years, and for category 4 jobs, once a year.
If an employer fails to ensure the provision of an Occupational Health Service, they may face a fine of up to €100,000.
In addition to the financial penalty, the employer also bears responsibility for any harm to employees’ health that may result from neglecting this legal obligation.
