Occupational Health and Safety (OHS)
OHS is among the basic and legally required obligations of each employer. It can be defined as a set of measures, policies, principles, opinions, behavior and activities that help eliminating the negative effects of work. The term “Occupational Health and Safety” is also known under the abbreviation OHS, however, its content and implementation are substantially broader than suggested by these words. In the past, it was interpreted only as prevention of accidents, focused mainly on safety of technical equipment and work procedures. Later on, emphasis began to be placed on healthy working conditions, the human factor and occupational safety.
The basic obligations of the employer are regulated by the Act No. 124/2006 Coll. on Occupational Health and Safety. This Act establishes the general principles of prevention and basic conditions for ensuring occupational safety and health and to eliminate risks and factors causing occupational accidents, occupational diseases and other health damages from work.
