Recent Changes to the Occupational Safety Regulation

The occupational safety regulation in Bulgaria was recently updated, introducing new requirements for employers and employees.

The new changes include specific requirements for preventive inspections, staff training, and control over working conditions. The goal is to reduce workplace incidents and increase employee awareness of safety.

Employers must update their internal policies, and employees must undergo the new training programs. This includes mandatory safety instructions for working with machinery and chemical substances.

The changes also strengthen control by labor inspectorates and provide for stricter sanctions for non-compliance with requirements.
