1) Is the employer required to conduct regular workplace
risk assessments?
Yes. The employer is obliged to ensure the safety of working
conditions and inform employees about existing risks, conduct
workplace certification, and also develop, implement, and maintain
an occupational health and safety management system. This system
must include hazard identification, occupational risk assessment,
determination of risk control measures, and analysis of their
effectiveness (Labor Code, Article 17 of the Law "On
Occupational Safety"). Risk assessment is carried out
systematically; the specific frequency and procedure for conducting
it are not directly established by law and are determined by the
employer, taking into account the specifics of the production
process.
