As part of the implementation of the previously announced nightclub inspections, the competent inspection bodies, in cooperation with the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Srpska, conducted 37 inspections across the entire Republic of Srpska in the past week. In 32 of these inspections, various irregularities were identified, and with the previous inspections, most of them related to the irregular periodic testing of various installations (such as lighting rod installations and hydrant network), the absence of normative acts on fire safety regulations, insufficient training of all workers regarding fire safety, and the failure to appoint a person responsible for implementing fire safety measures, among other concerns.

Regarding the implementation of work safety measures, the identified irregularities related to the failure of employers to adopt a Risk Assessment Act for all workplaces, lack of work safety training for all workers, absence of first aid kits, and the failure to appoint a person responsible for carrying out work safety tasks.

It is important to emphasize that there were no cases in which deficiencies or risks were found that could lead to the outbreak or spread of fire, or improper disposal or storage of flammable materials. In all cases, corrective measures have been ordered to eliminate the identified irregularities, and so far, there have been no cases of extreme violations that would require the pronouncement of highly repressive measures.

Within the framework of the aforementioned activities, a total of 83 inspections have been conducted so far. We remind you that the purpose of these controls is to prevent and timely eliminate any irregularities that could lead to unwanted incidents, which are also the principles of regular inspection supervision which is conducted throughout the year.
