Apply the statutory risk-assessment method step by step to a described workplace, identifying hazards, exposed persons, existing controls and residual risk.

Rank at least ten hazards using a qualitative scoring approach and justify why each control sits where it does in the hierarchy of elimination, substitution, engineering controls, organisational measures and PPE.

Explain when a risk assessment must be reviewed or repeated, and describe how new technology, changed processes or an accident trigger a reassessment.

Describe how occupational health service providers (poskytovatelé pracovnělékařských služeb) and OHS professionals interact in categorising work and in risk communication.

State the minimum requirements for workplace layout, floors, traffic routes, lighting, microclimate, sanitation and rest facilities, and identify which regulation sets each requirement.

Explain the occupational exposure limits (PEL) system, how exposure is measured and evaluated, and what the employer must do when a limit is approached or exceeded.

Describe the categorisation of work into four categories and what each category means for the frequency of occupational health examinations.

Identify the mandatory obligations for work with chemical agents, including safety data sheets, the register of hazardous agents and substitution duties.

Explain the requirements for ergonomic workplace design and for work with display screen equipment, including breaks and eye examinations.

Explain the employer's duties for work equipment, including initial and periodic inspections, examinations and tests, and how the required intervals are determined.

Distinguish the roles of the manufacturer, importer, distributor and user for machinery under the applicable technical requirements, and describe what CE marking and the declaration of conformity do and do not prove.

Describe the requirements for specific equipment types such as lifting equipment, pressure equipment, electrical installations and local exhaust ventilation, and state who may perform which inspection.

Explain how to organise a permit-to-work system for high-risk maintenance and how lockout and energy isolation are documented.

Describe the scope and content of occupational health services, including the types of examination (entry, periodic, exit, and examination after a long absence) and who pays for them.

Explain medical fitness decisions, the employer's duty to respect them, and how to handle a finding of incapacity for the current role, including redeployment options.

List the employer's immediate duties after a work-related accident and distinguish a work-related accident from an accident on the way to work and from an occupational disease.

Complete an accident record and a notification to the insurer and the labour inspectorate, and describe the investigation steps that establish cause and preventive measures.

Explain the statutory insurance scheme for work-related accidents and occupational disease and the employer's reporting obligations within it.

Build a documentation register that lists every OHS document an employer must keep, with owner, retention period and the trigger for updating it.

Design an induction and periodic training programme that specifies content, duration, form, verification of understanding and record-keeping for each employee group.

Draft the core content of an emergency plan, including alarm and evacuation arrangements, assembly points, and the coordination of first aid, fire safety and evacuation roles.

Describe first-aid provision requirements, including first-aid kits, trained first aiders, and access to emergency medical services, and how to check them periodically.

Explain the interface between OHS and fire safety obligations where the same employer must coordinate both.

Revisit the highest-weight domains by answering timed practice questions and correcting every error against the source regulation.

Explain the full sequence of employer actions from hazard identification through risk assessment, controls, health surveillance and accident response, as one connected narrative.

Resolve at least ten points that were flagged as uncertain during earlier weeks, recording the correct answer and its legal basis.

Simulate an inspector's interview: justify three contested decisions (a control measure, a work category, an accident finding) with statutory references.
