For companies in Žilina and the whole Žilina Region, HASPO provides occupational safety and health (OSH), fire protection and occupational health service in one flat fee from €76 per month. The safety technician travels from the branch in Banská Bystrica (about 95 km, up to 1.5 hours via the R1 expressway and the D1 motorway), the first month is free and the online calculator shows an estimate immediately.
Žilina is the industrial and logistics centre of northern Slovakia: the Kia car plant in Teplička nad Váhom and dozens of its suppliers, engineering and electrical plants in the Kysuce area, hotels and ski resorts in Liptov and Malá Fatra, and warehouses along the D1 and D3 motorways. Each of these operations has the same legal obligations as an office in the city centre – a safety technician, a fire protection technician and an occupational health service.
Where does the technician come from?
The Žilina Region is served by the HASPO branch in Banská Bystrica (Zvolenská cesta 2322/39). Žilina is about 95 km away, up to 1.5 hours by the R1 expressway and the D1 motorway.
Which authorities deal with a company in Žilina?
- Labour Inspectorate Žilina, Hlavná 2, 010 09 Žilina – carries out labour inspection for the whole Žilina Region (Section 7 of Act No. 125/2006 Coll.). Serious work accidents are reported here and OSH inspections come from here.
- Regional Public Health Authority in Žilina, V. Spanyola 27, 011 71 Žilina – for the districts of Žilina and Bytča; other districts of the region fall under the authorities in Čadca, Martin, Dolný Kubín and Liptovský Mikuláš. It reviews the documents prepared by the occupational health service under Act No. 355/2007 Coll.
- District Directorate of the Fire and Rescue Service at the place of operation – carries out state fire supervision under Act No. 314/2001 Coll.
Visits in the region are planned in routes, so the initial survey, a workplace inspection and training are combined in one trip, and travel is included in the flat fee. Recurring employee training can also be done online through OSH e-learning with a certificate, so a company in Orava or Liptov does not wait for the technician.
What does an automotive supplier need compared with a small company?
Customer audits in the automotive industry go beyond the law: they ask about the registration of work accidents, a risk assessment for each workplace, demonstrable training of forklift and crane operators and a hearing protection programme. We keep the OSH documentation so that it stands up to a customer audit as well; noise is measured by accredited partners. A small office, shop or service company in Žilina needs the basic documentation, training on hiring and at regular intervals, categorisation of work and fire extinguishers. More detail by sector: manufacturing, warehouses and logistics, offices and IT companies.
