- One place of work, many employers - duty to care for health and safety during construction works (25)
It is a common practice when employees employed by different employers perform their work in the same place and at the same time. In this situation, there is a greater risk of harm to the health and life of employees. For these reasons, the law requires employers to designate a coordinator supervising the safety and health at work of all employees working in the same place. Uniform supervision is to ensure good organization of work and is to guarantee full compliance with health and safety rules and regulations. These obligations, however, are imprecise. Labor law provisions do not specify the mode and scope of cooperation of employers and competencies of the coordinator.

Some of these activities can be carried out in places that are difficult to access, located at different levels. Therefore, an important aspect of work safety is to ensure proper access to all work zones of the machine and machine places, for which the need for access during all machine life phases can be predicted. - Man-made emergency stop (48)
