Labor inspection agencies are responsible for ensuring that employment law is correctly applied. They have an obligation to verify that anything relating to the protection of worker health and safety is compliant. They also have to provide information, advice and assistance to employers, employees and associations, to simplify the application of statutory orders on health and safety at work.
Checks on companies are conducted by cantonal inspectors. Cantonal inspections are, in turn, controlled by the Federal Labor Inspectorate.
