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:

The COVID-19 pandemic has forced most Croatian and world companies to make drastic changes in the way they do their jobs. Working from home has become a new everyday life, and when you add up other people's stories on the subject it sounds like they're fighting a battle with themselves. Have you thought about safety at work the moment you found out that you will be working from home, ergonomic conditions, the possibility of agreeing with your employer to keep your workplace healthy (business computer, chair, desk, other office aids)? You probably didn't, and that's why I decided to write a few tips that could increase the efficiency of your work from home.

Strictly speaking, safety at work is part of a profession, specialization in some field, e.g. occupational safety in forestry or construction or catering. Each activity is its own world with its problems and specifics, and professionals in this field (with additional training) are actually the most competent to find sources of danger. So it was not possible to form a certain chamber or some central body that would regulate the profession because there was no profession. Certified occupational safety houses are the sum of engineers of mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, chemistry and safety and other professions who have only the service they provide in common. Here you may feel the named safety engineers of which I am a part myself, but as is visible in the rulebook on authorizations for occupational safety jobs, nowhere are they mentioned, i.e. only x profession + professional exam for occupational safety professional is mentioned. That professional exam can be seen as that specialization I mentioned.
