Latvia: work environment risk assessment must be reviewed at least once a year
Opmerking bij de datum: Not a shared calendar deadline: MK noteikumi Nr. 660 'Darba vides iekšējās uzraudzības veikšanas kārtība' (in force since 2007) requires the review at least once every 12 months, counted from your own company's previous risk assessment, plus immediately after a workplace/process change, an accident, or detected non-compliance (§18); the internal-uzraudzība system as a whole must also be checked at least once a year (§40). The date shown is an illustrative annual placeholder, not everyone's actual due date — calendar your own review 12 months after your last one.
Elk jaar in oktober, uiterlijk de 2. · Illustrative annual cadence only — the real deadline is 12 months after your own company's previous risk assessment, not this specific calendar date.
Wat verandert er
Every employer must have a written work environment risk assessment (darba vides risku novērtējums) and must review and update it at least once every 12 months, and additionally whenever work activities, processes or conditions change materially, a legal non-compliance is found, or a workplace accident occurs.
Voor wie geldt dit
Every registered employer in Latvia with at least one employee, of any size or sector — including a one-person office with a single hired employee.
Groottes: micro, klein, middelgroot, groot · Sectoren: Alle sectoren · Geldt als: Wij hebben personeel in dienst
Wat u moet doen
Note the date of your most recent work environment risk assessment and calendar a review no later than 12 months after it. Redo the review immediately if you change premises, equipment or ways of working, if VDI finds a non-compliance, or after any workplace accident. Keep the assessment and its review history on file for VDI inspection.
