A set of 29 working files that organise the duties of Government Regulation No. 361/2007 Sb. into open questions a business answers from its own records.

This instrument sets the conditions for health protection at work, and it reaches every employer in Czechia whose operations expose people to health risks. That includes factories and workshops with noise, vibration, dust or chemical agents, warehouses and cold stores, laboratories and healthcare providers working with biological agents, and construction sites. It also reaches operators of display screen equipment, drivers and other workers whose tasks bring physical load, and any business that must supply protective drinks or arrange medical examinations for its staff.

The 29 working files walk through the instrument by subject. They cover the employer's basic duties and the assessment of health risks, protective drinks and the conditions for their provision, and the hygiene requirements placed on workplaces, including microclimatic conditions, lighting and ventilation. Separate files address chemical agents and the management of risks from carcinogens and mutagens, biological agents and the prevention of infection, and the physical load of work, including the manual handling of loads and working postures.

Further files set out the obligations that attach to noise, vibration and non-ionising radiation, the protection of young workers and the special conditions for work with lead and asbestos. The files also address the medical examinations and health assessments the employer must secure, the records to be kept, and the arrangements for first aid and the reporting of accidents. Each file is a working file that carries the statutory text beside the duties it describes.

Which businesses does this regulation apply to?

The regulation applies to employers whose work exposes people to health risks, such as noise, dust, chemicals, biological agents or physical load. It reaches factories, warehouses, laboratories, healthcare providers, construction firms and businesses using display screen equipment. A business that supplies protective drinks or arranges medical examinations for its staff also falls within its scope.

How are the working files organised?

The 29 working files group the instrument's duties by subject, such as chemical agents, noise, biological agents or medical examinations. Each file presents open questions a business answers from its own records, with the statutory text carried beside each duty. The files are served through a connector inside Claude.

What does a business receive after answering the open questions?

The documents that come back are dated compliance reports the business keeps in its own file. Each report records the answers the business gave from its own records. The toolkit never gives advice and never presents a perspective; it carries what the authority wrote, organised.

Does the toolkit tell a business what to do about a health risk?

The toolkit carries the statutory text and organises the duties into open questions. A business reads the statutory wording beside each duty and answers from its own records. The toolkit never gives advice and never presents a perspective.

Which subjects do the working files cover?

The files cover the employer's basic duties and risk assessment, protective drinks, workplace hygiene including microclimate and lighting, chemical agents, carcinogens and mutagens, biological agents, physical load and manual handling. They also address noise, vibration, non-ionising radiation, young workers, lead, asbestos, medical examinations, records and first aid.

How does a business open the working files?

The sections are served through a connector inside Claude. A business opens the connector and works through the open questions in each section. Nothing is downloaded and nothing is installed.

Are the reports kept by the business or sent elsewhere?

The documents that come back are dated compliance reports the business keeps in its own file. The business decides where its own file is stored. The toolkit carries what the authority wrote, organised.

Does the toolkit reproduce the wording of the regulation?

The toolkit carries the law's words exactly as the authority wrote them. The statutory text sits beside each duty in the working files. A business can read the statutory wording and answer the open questions from its own records.

What kinds of health risks do the files address?

The files address chemical agents, carcinogens and mutagens, biological agents, noise, vibration, non-ionising radiation, dust, physical load and manual handling. They also cover microclimatic conditions, lighting and ventilation in the workplace. Each subject is presented as open questions a business answers from its own records.

Does the toolkit replace the business's own compliance records?

The toolkit organises the instrument's duties into open questions a business answers from its own records. The dated compliance reports that come back are kept in the business's own file. The toolkit never gives advice and never presents a perspective; it carries what the authority wrote, organised.
