In Switzerland there are two main laws governing OSH. The Labour Law covers work hours, health protection, workplace building standards and the protection of personal integrity. The Accident Insurance Law covers the prevention of occupational accidents and diseases which are caused almost entirely by work. The cantonal labour inspectorates, SUVA (main accident insurance authority) and the State Secretariat of Economic Affairs (SECO) enforce the laws. A coordination commission (EKAS) oversees and finances the inspection system for accident prevention.

The Ministry of Labour and Social Policy (MoLSP) is the National Focal Point and acts as the official EU-OSHA representative in the Republic of North Macedonia. The Mission of the MoLSP is to effectively create and implement policies in the area of labor market, social security, equal opportunities, protection and prevention against discrimination, in accordance with international standards and principles.

The designation Kosovo is without prejudice to positions on status, and is in line with UNSCR 1244/1999 and the ICJ Opinion on its declaration of independence.

The supervision of the implementation of the Law on Safety and Health at Work ('Official Gazette of Montenegro', no. 34/14), regulations passed based on similar and other measures on safety and health at work, is conducted by the by the Labour inspection, through the Labour inspectors for the occupational safety and health at work, if the law does not establish that the supervision of the implementation of such regulations in specific activities is performed by other authorities.

In the Republic of Serbia, occupational safety and health is under the responsibility of Ministry of Labour and Social Policy. The Ministry includes two administrative bodies active in the subject field, in particular Occupational Safety and Health Directorate that, among other things, prepares legislation and Labour Inspectorate competent for supervision over its enforcement.

Responsibility for safety and health at work in Austria is shared between various bodies. The legal basis is provided by the Safety and Protection of Health at Work Act [ArbeitnehmerInnenschutzgesetz] and the regulations which go with it. The Labour Inspectorate, the provincial [Land] Agricultural and Forestry Inspectorates and organisations serving public sector employees are responsible for overseeing compliance with legislation to do with safety and health at work.

In Poland, the basic legal act which provides for the right to safe and healthy working conditions is the Constitution of the Republic of Poland. The means of implementing this right is defined by law, namely the Labour Code. The basic Code regulation in the field of OSH can be found in Section X of the Code, on OSH, in Section VII on the protection of women at work, and in Section IX on the protection of young people at work. The organisational system of labour protection can be divided into a nationwide and cross-workplace system.

In Slovenia, safety and health at work falls within the competence of the Ministry of Labour, Family, Social Affairs and Equal Opportunities and the Ministry of Health. These two ministries monitor and assess the situation in the aforementioned area and on this basis draw up regulations and solutions for the standardised regulation of safety and health at work. Control over the implementation of regulations in this area falls within the competence of the Labour Inspectorate of the Republic of Slovenia.
