Health & Safety License Thailand

Step 1: Understanding Health and Safety Regulations in Thailand

Before applying for a Health and Safety License, it’s essential to understand the regulatory framework established by the Department of Labour Protection and Welfare and the Ministry of Public Health.

Here’s what you need to know:

• Types of Businesses Requiring a Health and Safety License: Businesses in industries like construction, manufacturing, hospitality, food services, healthcare, and education typically need a Health and Safety License.
  SiamConsult will help you determine if your business falls under these categories and the specific requirements you need to meet.
  
  

• Health and Safety Standards: The Thai government mandates strict standards for workplace safety, including fire safety, hazardous materials handling, sanitation, and emergency preparedness.
  Your business must comply with these standards to protect employees and customers from potential hazards.
  
  

• Regular Inspections and Compliance: After obtaining your license, your business will be subject to regular inspections by local authorities to ensure ongoing compliance with health and safety regulations.
  
  

Step 2: Preparing Your Health and Safety Compliance Documents

To apply for a Health and Safety License, you must prepare various documents demonstrating compliance with Thailand’s health and safety regulations. Here’s what you need:

• Health and Safety Policy: A written policy outlining your company’s commitment to maintaining a safe and healthy work environment.
  This should include details on workplace safety procedures, employee responsibilities, and emergency protocols.
  
  

• Risk Assessment Report: A comprehensive assessment identifying potential hazards in the workplace, including physical, chemical, biological, and ergonomic risks.
  This report should also outline the measures taken to mitigate these risks.
  
  

• Employee Training Records: Documentation proving that all employees have undergone health and safety training, including first aid, fire safety, and emergency evacuation procedures.
  
  

• Safety Equipment and Maintenance Records: Proof that your business has installed and maintains adequate safety equipment, such as fire extinguishers, alarms, protective gear, and first aid kits.
  Maintenance logs should show regular checks and servicing of safety equipment.
  
  

• Health Inspection Report: A report from a certified health and safety inspector confirming that your workplace complies with Thai regulations.
  SiamConsult can help you arrange for an inspection by a qualified professional.
  
  

Step 3: Applying for a Health and Safety License

Once you have prepared all necessary documents, the next step is to apply for a Health and Safety License through the relevant local authority, such as the Department of Labour Protection and Welfare.

Here’s what you need to do:

• Complete the Application Form:
  Fill out the application form with all required details, including your business name, location, type of operations, and the health and safety measures you have implemented.
  
  

• Submit Supporting Documents: Attach all prepared documents, such as the health and safety policy, risk assessment report, employee training records, safety equipment logs, and the health inspection report.
  
  

• Application Submission: SiamConsult will submit your application on your behalf to the relevant authority and handle all follow-ups to ensure a smooth approval process.
