Occupational health and safety in Sokolov and the surrounding area

We are a company from Hromnice near Pilsen and we provide occupational health and safety services for businesses in Sokolov and the surrounding area too. We visit your site, walk through your operations, assess the risks and prepare the documentation, which you can then access online.

Occupational health and safety for businesses in Sokolov

The Sokolov area has long been associated with lignite mining, power generation and chemical production. Alongside these, there are engineering companies and smaller manufacturing operations.

Sokolov is about 70 km as the crow flies from Hromnice, and we travel to clients in the Karlovy Vary Region. Travel costs depend on the vehicle – a van carrying fire extinguishers has a different rate than a car with a technician. You will always see the travel cost in the quote in advance.

What to watch out for in operations typical of the Sokolov area

Mining and energy involve work at height, heavy machinery and dusty or noisy environments. We help with classifying high-risk work, with measurements and with work categorisation.

In operations handling chemical substances we also deal with safety data sheets, storage, protective equipment and training on working with hazardous chemicals.

In manufacturing and engineering, most of the work concerns machinery risks, noise and manual handling of loads. We prepare the risk assessment, local operating rules for machinery and the categorisation of work, including data from measurements.

Who inspects your company

Compliance with health and safety rules in the Karlovy Vary Region is checked by the Regional Labour Inspectorate for the Pilsen and Karlovy Vary Regions. Work categorisation is assessed by the Regional Public Health Authority of the Karlovy Vary Region. We prepare the documentation so that it stands up to an inspection, and we know what inspectors ask about most often.

Frequently asked questions

Does a company in Sokolov need its own OHS technician?

No. If a company has more than 25 employees, risk prevention tasks must be carried out by a competent person (OZO) – either an employee or an external technician. We perform this role for companies, and we help smaller companies set up health and safety so that they can manage it themselves.

What if a workplace injury happens at our company?

Call us. We will help with reporting and recording the injury, find out the cause and propose measures so that it does not happen again. You can find more details on the Workplace injuries page.
