The report synthesises desk research, a comparative analysis of occupational safety and health (OSH) arrangements in six EU countries, 21 semi-structured stakeholder interviews and two focus groups. It examines Slovenia’s OSH system, its main shortcomings and opportunities for systemic improvement. Although Slovenia has a well-developed legislative framework aligned with European standards, a substantial gap remains between formal requirements and their implementation. In many organisations, OSH is treated mainly as an administrative obligation, while risk assessment, preventive measures and occupational medicine are insufficiently integrated into management. Key challenges include low-quality risk assessments, inadequate implementation of measures, limited involvement of occupational medicine, low awareness among workers and the public, understaffed and predominantly reactive inspection, fragmented records, the lack of a national expert institution and insufficient economic incentives for prevention. Comparison with the Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, the Netherlands and Portugal shows that effective OSH systems rely on stable expert institutions, data-driven and prevention-oriented inspection, and cooperation among occupational medicine, professional services, research institutions and social-insurance bodies. The report proposes better risk assessments, a stronger role for occupational medicine and workers’ representatives, interconnected digital records, preventive inspection, financial incentives, occupational-risk insurance and a national expert institution for OSH. It was prepared under the national development project A Comprehensive Approach to Occupational Safety and Health in Slovenia (CP VZD), led by the National Institute of Public Health (NIJZ) with the University Medical Centre Ljubljana – Clinical Institute of Occupational, Traffic and Sports Medicine (KIMDPŠ).
