The analysis of occupational health and safety does not have to be extensive, it should not copy the contents of source documents, either. Ideally it will be in the form of a presentation which will present in a concise manner all issues related to working conditions and compliance with health and safety regulations.

An example of a checklist of issues which should be taken into account in health and safety analysis:

• number of employees, taking into account persons working under civil law agreements and on the B2B basis,
• assessment of the conditions in the workplace and the exposure of employees to risk factors;
• technical condition of the working equipment and tools;
• health and safety training and any specialist training, e.g. first aid, operation of fork lift trucks;
• preventative health care;
• accidents at work, but also any near-miss incidents;
• providing employees with protective clothing, footwear, and personal protection equipment;
• fire safety and first aid;
• implementation of recommendations and orders of the inspection bodies, e.g. State Labour Inspectorate, State Sanitary Inspectorate, Social Insurance Institution.

All employers are obliged to prepare an analysis of health and safety, not only employers operating in the area of production, but also in administrative and office environment. Such an analysis is a great tool to check the safety in the organisation, find changes which took place in the last year, and take the direction to improve safety of employees.
