Possible improvements of labour safety and protection in Latvia’s micro and small enterprises are crucial for sustainable development of national economy. The paper analyses the significance of small enterprises for Latvian economy and provides a survey of labour protection issues in Zemgale region. Study of enterprises at locations of their economic activity allows to conclude that most of microenterprises are facing problems with essential non-observance of labour protection requirements. Visually evaluating the workplace environment, it appeared to be incompliant with the labour protection requirements. Recommendations for specific companies were developed, shaping the employer’s motivation in establishment and maintenance of labour protection system, development of reporting and information system.
