Health certificates

The certificate is required for commencing work in a catering establishment, but also for entry into certain professions and areas of activity or for studies. The purpose of a health check is to prevent the spread of infectious diseases to customers, consumers or patients by infectious employees through work processes. Employers have the right to refer their employees for an additional health check on the basis of a risk assessment carried out during work.

The person applying for a health certificate books an appointment with a nurse, who will refer them for further tests related to the applicant’s profession or area of activity. During the appointment, the person applying for a health certificate fills in a declaration and validates the data submitted with their name and signature.

The service includes the following:
