Digital worker feedback for occupational health and safety

Bulgarian law mandates worker consultation for all employers with 50+ staff

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

Manufacturing High-risk processes

Machinery, chemicals, noise - workers have direct insight into risks that rarely reaches management.

Construction Highest injury rates

Work at height, excavation, heavy equipment - anonymous feedback reveals missed risks.

Water & Utilities Confined spaces

Manholes, pump stations, chemicals - specific risks require specialized feedback.

Mining Regulatory focus

Mines and quarries are under intensified GLI scrutiny - systematic documentation is critical.

Energy Electrical hazards

Work under voltage and in specific conditions - safety culture determines behavior.

Food Production HACCP + OHS

Dual regulation - hygiene and safety. Worker feedback covers both aspects.

Transport & Logistics Distributed teams

Drivers and field workers far from the office - a QR code in the cabin is the only accessible channel.

Healthcare Biological risks

Patient contact, chemicals, shift work - healthcare workers have unique OHS concerns.
