Digital worker feedback for occupational health and safety
The Problem
Bulgarian legislation requires systematic consultation with workers on safety matters. In practice, most companies rely on paper surveys once a year, Google Forms without analysis, or nothing at all.
The result: OHS Committee meetings lack real data, ISO 45001 auditors demand evidence of worker participation, and the Labour Inspectorate (GLI) imposes fines up to BGN 15,000 for missing consultation. Paper surveys provide no trends, no anonymity, and don't reach field workers.
The Solution
QR codes in changing rooms, service vehicles, and warehouses give workers a permanent, anonymous feedback channel. They scan, respond in under 60 seconds, and continue their work.
The kazva.bg dashboard aggregates results by location and period. Automated reports are ready for OHS Committee meetings, ISO 45001 audits, and Labour Inspectorate checks. Instead of an annual snapshot, you get a continuous safety culture pulse.
What Bulgarian law requires from your organization
HSWA (ЗЗБУТ), Art. 26-31 - OHS Committees
Employers must ensure consultation and participation of workers on OHS matters. Organizations with 50+ employees form a КУТ (OHS Committee), under 50 - a ГУТ (OHS Group).
Fines from BGN 1,500 to 15,000 per violation; repeat offenses up to BGN 30,000
Enforcement: GLI (General Labour Inspectorate)
kazva.bg provides a permanent worker consultation channel - documented evidence for Art. 26 compliance
Ordinance 3 (2001) - PPE (Personal Protective Equipment)
Employers provide PPE after risk assessment and consultation with workers. Periodic review of PPE condition and suitability required.
Fines for missing assessment or consultation documentation
Enforcement: GLI
Digital PPE assessment survey - quality, comfort, availability - with documented results
Ordinance 5 (1999) - Risk Assessment
Risk assessment must include mandatory participation of workers and their representatives. Periodic updates when conditions change.
Enforcement: GLI
Collect risk feedback directly from field workers - complements formal risk assessment
ISO 45001:2018, Clause 5.4 - Worker Participation
The organization shall establish processes for consultation and participation of workers at all levels in OHS decision-making.
Non-conformity at audit - risk of losing certification
Enforcement: Certification bodies (TUV, SGS, Bureau Veritas)
kazva.bg = documented worker participation system, audit-ready
Ordinance 4 (1998) - OHS Training
Employers measure effectiveness of conducted training. Training results must be documented.
Enforcement: GLI
Post-training survey - measure understanding and applicability from workers themselves
EU Framework Directive 89/391/EEC
Art. 11: Employers must consult workers on all questions relating to safety and health at work.
Enforcement: Transposed via HSWA (ЗЗБУТ) - enforced by GLI
Systematic consultation via anonymous digital channel - EU-compliant
Research-backed evidence
Machinery, chemicals, noise - workers have direct insight into risks that rarely reaches management.
Work at height, excavation, heavy equipment - anonymous feedback reveals missed risks.
Manholes, pump stations, chemicals - specific risks require specialized feedback.
Mines and quarries are under intensified GLI scrutiny - systematic documentation is critical.
Work under voltage and in specific conditions - safety culture determines behavior.
Dual regulation - hygiene and safety. Worker feedback covers both aspects.
Drivers and field workers far from the office - a QR code in the cabin is the only accessible channel.
Patient contact, chemicals, shift work - healthcare workers have unique OHS concerns.
