Response from the competent authority: 'The initiative for administrative relief or
  simplification of procedures is not justified.Reason:The employer''s obligation
  to train workers for safe and healthy work is regulated by Article 38 of the Occupational
  Health and Safety Act, ZVZD-1 ( Official Gazette of the RS, No. (1) The employer
  must train the worker to perform the work safely at the time of the conclusion of
  the employment relationship, prior to the assignment to another job, prior to the
  introduction of new technology and new means of work, and in the event of a change
  in the work process that may result in a change in safety at work. (2) The training
  must be adapted to the specific features of the workplace and be carried out according
  to a programme that must be renewed by the employer as necessary and the content
  of which must be modified in the light of the new forms and types of hazards. (3)
  Competence in safe work shall be verified by the employer at the workplace. (4)
  The employer shall provide for compulsory periodic tests of theoretical and practical
  competence in safe work for workers working in workplaces where the risk assessment
  shows a higher risk of accidents and occupational diseases and for workers working
  in workplaces where accidents at work and occupational diseases are more frequent.
  (5) The period for the periodic tests referred to in the preceding paragraph may
  not exceed two years. (6) The labour inspector may, following an inspection, order
  that the training programme be adapted to the specific features of the workplace
  with regard to the forms and types of hazards. The labour inspector may also order,
  after the inspection has been carried out, a test of theoretical and practical competence
  for safe work. (7) The employer shall provide training for workers during their
  working hours and free of charge to them.We note from the petition that the case
  referred to by the petitioner does not concern workplaces where the risk assessment
  shows that there is a higher risk of accidents or occupational diseases, nor does
  it concern workplaces where accidents and occupational diseases are more frequent,
  so that the employer has no justifiable basis for imposing compulsory training tests
  within a period of two years. Only the ZVZD-1, not the Regulations, regulates the
  matter in the way described.   '
