Welcome

Welcome to Latvian Focal point of the European Agency for Safety and Health at work.

The Agency has been set up by the European Union in order to serve the information needs of people with an interest in occupational safety and health.

State Labour Inspectorate ensures the work of the Latvian Focal point but the exchange of information is organized by Information Board, with competent representatives from the Ministry of Welfare, the State Labour Inspectorate, the Latvian Free Trade Union Federation, the Latvian Employers´ Confederation, as well as the Institute of Occupational and Environmental Health.

One of the Focal point activities is the web site, which is the largest information source about occupational safety and health in Latvia. It is possible to obtain news about legislation, planned events, documents, publications, as well as statistics, which characterize the situation in the field of labour protection in Latvia.

Navigation system allows to access information resources via 10 key Information buttons on the left side of site or via a search function. On the right side the links to the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work and to all of its Focal points are available.

As needs of our clients are important for us, we would be interested in receiving comments and recommendations that could help us to improve the site.

Thank you for visiting this site.
