Risk assessment with a safety statement
The safety statement with a risk assessment is the foundation document of the entire occupational safety system. The law requires every employer to prepare and implement one for every workplace, whether the company has two employees or two hundred. Preparing it is a specialist activity requiring a ministerial licence — we perform it under Authorisation no. 6 of 1 June 2010. To date we have produced over 3,000 risk assessments.

How the process works
Site inspection
We come to your site and record the workplaces, processes, equipment and existing documentation. For multiple locations we agree a schedule.
Measurements where required
Where the assessment requires objective data on noise, illuminance, microclimate or chemical hazards, we measure them with our own instruments.
Assessment and measures
We rank the risks and propose concrete measures with an owner and a deadline — not generic recommendations but actionable steps.
Opinion and adoption
An opinion is obtained from the union, or where there is none, from the workers’ representative. The statement is then presented to the employees.
Frequently asked questions
How long is a risk assessment valid?
The law sets no expiry date. The obligation works differently: if working conditions change or a new hazard appears, a new safety statement must be prepared — the existing one is not amended.
Are small companies exempt from this obligation?
No. The Act applies to all activities in the public and private sector with no headcount threshold. Only the level of fines differs, graduated by the size of the employer.
Can we prepare the assessment ourselves?
Preparing a risk assessment is a specialist activity requiring a ministerial licence. An employer without its own authorised specialist staff and technical capability must entrust it to an authorised legal entity.
What if we have multiple locations?
The assessment covers every workplace, so all locations must be included. For chains with many sites we arrange a combined visit schedule to reduce cost and disruption.
Does engaging an external firm transfer liability?
No. Under Article 6(4) of the Act, engaging an authorised legal or natural person does not release the employer from its own liability.
