Safety at work

Health and Safety at Work (hereinafter HSW) include several major issues, such as fire protection measures or rules for proper sitting at the computer.

As an employee or self-employed person (OSVČ a freelancer, i.e. businessman/woman), you should take care of your health at work. In order to do so, it is appropriate at least to know your basic rights and obligations as regards HSW. These are mainly:

• Obligation to take care of health and safety at work, both in the case of employment under the labour code as well as in the case of another work performance
• Worker claims in the case of personal injuries (accidents at work, occupational diseases)

• Civil law claims for work-related injuries and occupational diseases

• Statutory law claims towards the state
