Occupational Health and Safety and Fire Protection Instructions and Documentation
Correct and systematically maintained occupational health and safety documentation is the backbone of any effective company safety system. It’s not just a collection of documents, but above all, tangible proof of the employer’s compliance with legal obligations and the foundation of a safety culture. We offer comprehensive development, implementation, and ongoing oversight of all necessary documentation. We transform the maze of complex regulations into an orderly, logical, and always auditable system that truly protects your employees and your business.
Who is this service for?
Our services are aimed at all employers—regardless of industry or company size—who want to be absolutely certain that their health and safety documentation is maintained reliably, professionally, and in accordance with rapidly changing legal requirements. We help companies that:
- Want to create complete documentation from scratch for a newly established company in order to operate fully legally and safely from the very beginning.
- Need to organize and update existing documents. Often, existing health and safety documentation is incomplete, outdated, or chaotic – we conduct an audit and bring it up to standard.
- They want to relieve their HR and administration departments of complex and time-consuming health and safety responsibilities, allowing them to focus on key tasks.
- They are introducing new machines, technologies, or changing production processes and need specific, dedicated workstation instructions and updates to their occupational risk assessment.
- They are preparing for an inspection by the National Labor Inspectorate (PIP) or the National Sanitary Inspectorate and want to ensure that every document is in place.
What scope of health and safety documentation do we develop?
Occupational Risk Assessment – The Foundation of Safety
This is a key and absolutely fundamental element of any health and safety documentation. We conduct a detailed analysis of all workstations, identifying hazards, assessing risks, and proposing effective preventive measures. We create clear and complete documentation for all job groups in the company.Health and Safety and Fire Safety Instructions – Clear Rules for Everyone
Safety depends on employee awareness. We develop clear and compliant general and workplace health and safety instructions, as well as detailed instructions for operating machinery and equipment. We also prepare the Fire Safety Instructions required by law for specific facilities, which are crucial for protecting life and property.Registers and Records – Proof of Your Care
Systematic recording of events and activities is essential. On your behalf, we keep, among other things, a register of accidents at work, a record of occupational diseases and suspected occupational diseases, a register of factors harmful to health occurring in the workplace, as well as detailed records of health and safety training (initial and periodic) and many other required records.Employee Documentation Related to Health and Safety
Efficient personnel management in the area of health and safety also requires appropriate documents. We prepare referrals for medical examinations (initial, periodic, follow-up), records of the allocation of work clothing and footwear and personal protective equipment, as well as documents confirming that the employee has familiarized themselves with the occupational risk assessment.Procedures, Regulations, and Internal Orders
Good health and safety documentation is not only what is required by law, but also a tool for building internal standards. We create accident procedures, health and safety work regulations, orders introducing new rules or PPE allocation procedures that systematize and standardize safety activities throughout your company.What does the process of maintaining health and safety documentation look like?
We make sure that the entire process is simple and transparent for you, and that all health and safety documentation is of the highest standard:

- Recovered time and resources: We take on the tedious task of creating, verifying, and updating dozens of documents. You and your employees can fully focus on the strategic aspects of business development.
- A system, not a chaotic collection of documents: Our goal is to create a logical and consistent system. Risk assessment is linked to instructions, and instructions are linked to training. Such organized health and safety documentation is understandable not only to inspectors, but above all to your employees, which significantly increases the level of safety.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
- What health and safety documents must every company have, even a sole proprietorship? Even if you are self-employed (if you work in hazardous conditions) or employed on a contract basis, it is essential to have an occupational risk assessment for the position and appropriate instructions. The full scope of mandatory health and safety documentation comes into effect when the first employee is hired under an employment contract.
- How long must health and safety documentation be kept? Retention periods are strictly defined in regulations and vary greatly. For example, accident documentation (report and register) must be kept for 10 years. On the other hand, records of measurements of factors harmful to health are kept for 40 years. We make sure that all deadlines are met.
- Can documentation be kept in electronic form? Yes, the law allows for an increasing amount of documentation to be kept in electronic form (e.g., training records, registers). This greatly facilitates management, archiving, and quick access. We will help you implement secure and legally compliant digital solutions in your company.
- How often should health and safety documentation be updated? Health and safety documentation is a “living organism.” It must be updated whenever changes occur: introduction of new machinery, change of technology, reorganization of the workplace, after an accident, and also in the event of changes in legal regulations. Regular review, e.g., once a year, is a good practice that we provide as part of our ongoing service.
