A full or partial renewal is also required before the deadline when the workplace moves or buildings change; technology, substances or equipment change; production methods change; a work accident, occupational disease or near miss occurs; legislation on workplace limit values changes; workplace measurements or health surveillance results call for it; or a new external hazard arises (Article 12(2)).

Who is responsible?

The employer carries out or commissions the risk assessment (Regulation, Article 5(1)). It is carried out by a team set up by the employer: the employer or its representative, occupational safety specialists and workplace doctors, employee representatives, support staff and knowledgeable employees representing all units (Article 6(1)). Subcontractors carry out or commission a risk assessment for their own work and give a copy to the main employer (Article 15).

If the deadline passes

An employer that does not carry out or commission a risk assessment is subject to an administrative fine, with a further administrative fine for each month the breach continues (Law No. 6331, Article 26(1)(ç)).

How is the document kept?

The pages are numbered, each page is initialled and the last page signed by those who carried out the assessment, and the document is kept at the workplace. It may be prepared and archived electronically (Article 11(2) and 11(3)).
