We move to other spaces – what I need from occupational safety law / fire protection law

We are moving to other premises - what I need from the law on safety at work / fire protection law (hereinafter referred to as ZNR/ZOP) is a question that we are very happy to answer. Primarily because it is a frequent reason for moving the needs for a larger and better quality space, which means that the business entity is developing and growing. Is everything from ZNR/ZOP worth it to you if you change space? No. Do you have to do everything again? No. The truth is somewhere in between because part of the ZNR/ZOP obligations is related to employees, and part to the premises. By changing the space, you should think about those ZNR/ZOP items that concern the business premises itself, and this would be as follows:

We are opening our first warehouse – what do we need from occupational safety and fire protection?

We are opening our first warehouse, what do we need from occupational safety and fire protection? When opening a warehouse, it is important to know whether you are entering an already existing warehouse or if the warehouse is newly built just for your business / commodity assortment? Clients don't ask this question often enough. In practice, we from the industry often get information about this moment when the client has already entered the warehouse, and perhaps due to the condition and incompatibility of the warehouse with his needs, he should not have entered it. from entering the already existing warehouse, it is important to initially determine whether the project corresponds to your business, i.e. the assortment of goods that you intend to store inside, especially from the aspect of fire protection, because any modifications / reconstructions that you will have to undertake to comply with this area may not be financially profitable. Believe me, it's not the same if you store steel pipes, brick or rubber, paints and varnishes.

Stress in the workplace, the cause of many financial losses for the company

We want to present you with a part of occupational safety that has been unfairly neglected even by authorized companies. The part that is only mentioned along the way works as a footnote in occupational safety documents. Just enough to fulfill the legal form. We would like to make a departure from the dry, legal definition, what we all have in mind when we hear and think about safety at work. To show that safety at work properly applied in its entire scope and hidden potentials, can, proven to have a positive impact on the entire life of a company employee (even outside his professional segment, working hours). Therefore, the overall work and financial performance of the company in which he works and ultimately on the employee's private, family part of life, which I believe should be the most important thing for all of us.

What to do in case of an injury at work?

There was an injury at work - what should I do? What does safety at work say about this? Honestly, this is the worst question we can get. Not because we don't know the answer to it, but because it usually means that someone has failed somewhere. It's either us, or the employer, or I'm an employee because in the event of work injuries we can rarely talk about an accident; Most often someone made a mistake somewhere. Admittedly, sometimes an injury can be caused by force majeure or unlawful conduct by a third party, so it is not always the employer or worker's fault.
