Work from home and safety at work

I employ more than one, twenty, forty-nine, three hundred people – what I need from occupational safety/fire safety is a logical question when you start to develop and grow.

If you are just now encountering this topic, please read the article titled: I am hiring my first employee, which I need from ZNR

If you have already regulated your obligations before this moment (i.e. with the first employee) you have very few additional obligations:

1. Updating risk assessment
2. Training a new employee to work in a safe way
3. Training of a new fire protection officer

These obligations are repeated with each new employee regardless of the quantity until you reach the amount of 20 employees, because then, in addition to the above, a new obligation appears:

1. Employment of a person with disabilities – this is an obligation under the Labor Law, not about safety at work, but it entails its issue that I wrote about in the article: I would hire a disabled person – should I adjust the space and what the ZNR says about it You are not obliged to hire a person with disabilities if your company is not dealing with jobs with special working conditions for which people with disabilities will not achieve a passing grade at a medical examination.

I hired my 50th grader. What does safety at work say?

When you get to 50. New moments are happening to the employee:

1. You’d have to hire an occupational safety professional;
   Level I expert if most of the small-risk jobs in the company (office jobs such as bookkeeping, programming, etc.)
   Expert II. if it is predominantly about jobs that do not fall into the above category.
   
   You do not need to hire a specialist on a full-time basis
   (working time is not prescribed).
2. You are obliged to establish an occupational safety committee (the board consists of an employer or authorized person, an expert of znr, an occupational medicine specialist and a commissioner* of occupational safety workers if elected or their coordinator) to meet at least once every 6 months.
3. You would have to train another person to provide first aid.

* The worker’s commissioner is not a mandatory function in any case (up to 49 workers or over), but it would be good to have a written record that you have instructed the workers in the right to choose the worker’s trustee and that you have left them time to decide on this right and that they have decided for themselves whether or not they need this function (the commissioner’s function is to represent the interests and needs of workers in terms of safety at work and communicate them to the employer).

When you have a company with 249 to 499 employees, you need:

1. Have an employee of one occupational safety specialist of the first degree
2. Have an employee of one occupational safety expert II. degree
