Employer responsibility

Employers are responsible for their employees' safety and health at work. They have a duty to implement the necessary OSH measures, taking into account the circumstances which affect employees' safety and health at work. Employers must review the effectiveness of the measures and, if needs be, adjust them to changes in the prevailing conditions. It is also part of their duty to strive to improve employees' safety and the protection of their health. Employers must appoint safety specialists and company physicians to support them and advise them on OSH questions.
