Offices and services
An office looks like a safe place, and it usually is. The duties still apply: a safety technician and a written occupational risk assessment, even with one employee. We work discreetly, during your business hours, and focus on what actually matters in an office: ergonomics, fire safety and staff training.
Common hazards
- Ergonomics at screen workstations: chairs, screen height, long hours of sitting
- Lighting, ventilation and room temperature
- Electrical: extension leads, cables on the floor, old installations
- Fire safety and emergency exits, especially in the shared areas of multi-storey buildings
- Slips and falls on stairs, in corridors and in archive rooms
- Work-related stress, fatigue and psychosocial risks, which Law 5239/2025 explicitly requires to be taken into account
For shops, restaurants and accommodation, see Shops, restaurants, tourism.
Where we can help
- Safety technician appointment and visits with the hours that apply
- A risk assessment written for your own premises
- Ergonomic assessment of screen workstations
- Fire safety checks, escape plans and evacuation drills
- Staff training and basic first aid
- A file ready for a Labour Inspectorate inspection
Questions we are asked
Does an office with a few employees need a safety technician?
Yes. Even with one employee, a business must have a safety technician and a written occupational risk assessment (Law 3850/2010, now codified in the Greek Labour Code, Presidential Decree 62/2025). The hours depend on the category and the headcount; see the hours calculator.
Can I act as safety technician myself?
In category B and C businesses with up to 20 employees, the law allows it under conditions and with training, as applies from 1 January 2026. The written risk assessment, however, must be prepared by a person with safety technician qualifications. See the detailed guide.
