Development of legal employment

As of 1 July 1984, the joint state organisation system for health and safety and labour inspection, and subsequently the State’s organisation of occupational safety and safety, was amended as of 1 July 1984. (III. 31.) was established by a resolution of the Labour Code. The organisation of the Budapest and County Government Offices 2017. 01. Its amendment of 1st year affected the territorial system of the OSH and labour inspection body: the regional bodies have been assigned to the organisation of the district office in such a way that the first-instance occupational safety and labour authority tasks are performed with exclusive competence by the district office operating at the county seat (in the capital city, district III and the Érd in Pest county) (currently around 400 people together). The professional management of occupational safety and labour inspections (professionality, legality, efficiency checks, issuing methodological and information material, evaluation of professional work, training and further training of inspectors, etc.) is carried out by two departments within the organisation of the Ministry of National Economy: for the management of occupational safety activities, the Department of Labour Inspection (from 2017 onwards) and the Employment Inspection Department for the management of labour inspection activities (currently 74). The aim of the project is to improve the employment conditions of the employees in order to be able to create value and self-care in the long term, which, in addition to their individual interests, also serves Hungary’s competitiveness. In addition to reducing the damage caused by accidents at work and occupational diseases, prevention also represents a return on spending on improving working conditions. Risks to workers’ health and safety are better prevented, requiring targeted interventions, prevention, awareness-raising and improving the professionalism and effectiveness of occupational safety tasks. Black employment also threatens the loss of tax revenues and the self-care capacity of the individual and puts companies legally employed at a competitive disadvantage. In order to achieve this goal, it is important to improve the professionalism and effectiveness of labour inspection tasks. In relation to the eligible activities of the project, the following activities are planned: — The training courses serve to maintain and improve the professional competence of staff working in the field of occupational safety and labour in order to comply with the requirements of the current legal environment (including vocational training and refresher training and skills development training). — Technical developments provide the necessary technical background for properly trained colleagues to perform their tasks in accordance with the technical requirements of the present age (smart phone, laptop, control equipment, vehicle). — The creation of databases on the register of OSH professionals and on the register of occupational health service providers, in which public data will be made available to all. — Events, PR: In addition to performing tasks to the required standard, it is important to have a look and raise awareness. Therefore, we would like to raise awareness among society about the field of labour and safety at work through targeted public relations campaigns. As part of this, billboards, leaflets, lectures, open days, conferences, seminars will be organised, we will be targeted at festivals, and we will promote for secondary school students. As part of this release, we will create a new tomorrow, create a social media site and develop games to deepen the knowledge. — Research: to implement and publish research aimed at improving working conditions and to develop a programme to help calculate the cost impact of accidents at work and occupational diseases, which aims to show what costs are expected in the event of accidents at work and occupational diseases, broken down into forints from an economic point of view. — Decision (EU) 2016/344 of the European Parliament and of the Council establishing a European Platform to strengthen cooperation in tackling undeclared work Platform:2016.03.09-én was adopted. This has led to EU cooperation on tackling undeclared work, also aimed at improving enforcement, which contributes to reducing the incidence of undeclared work and increasing the number of jobs declared. As the establishment of the Platform opens up new perspectives in the fight against undeclared work, a number of priority tasks will need to be carried out in this respect. As part of these, study visits, knowledge-enhancing publications, conference workshops will be organised. For the sake of sound knowledge, we plan to carry out studies and carry out research.
