What INŠTITUT ZA VARNOST LOZEJ d.o.o. Ajdovščina does

Inštitut za varnost Lozej d.o.o. Ajdovščina is a Slovenian professional services firm founded in 1993 by Marjan Lozej, specializing in occupational safety and health (VPD), fire protection (PV), environmental protection, chemicals advisory, and ADR (dangerous goods transport) consulting. The company operates through two service divisions — PROJEKTIVA (design/planning, including safety plans, fire safety studies, environmental impact assessments, and construction site coordination) and OPERATIVA (operations, including ongoing contractual safety services, equipment operator training, and physical workplace measurements) — and runs a dedicated public training seminar program across its branch network. It holds official authorizations from four Slovenian ministries (Labour, Defence, Health, Interior), maintains ISO 9001:2015 certification verified by Bureau Veritas, and operates an accredited control body for noise measurement under SIST EN ISO/IEC 17020:2004. The firm serves a horizontal mix of small, mid-market, and large business clients across construction, energy, retail, manufacturing, healthcare, and government/municipal sectors, primarily in the Goriška and Notranjska regions of western Slovenia.

The company is privately held with no external investors, basic capital of €150,000, and a workforce of 21–30 professionals. Revenue is generated through recurring contractual engagements — comprehensive type C contracts with monthly flat fees for larger clients, and type BC general cooperation contracts (minimum €90 + VAT) for micro enterprises — supplemented by per-participant training seminar fees ranging from €25 (fire protection only) to €300 (individual equipment operator certification). Distribution is entirely direct: a network of seven branch offices (Ajdovščina headquarters, Idrija, Kobarid, Krško, Logatec, Nova Gorica, Sežana) delivers on-site services and hosts public training seminars, with the most recent geographic expansion being the September 2025 opening of PE Posočje in Kobarid. Marketing is referral- and relationship-driven, supported by a website publishing regulatory news updates and a multi-decade reference portfolio including large Slovenian enterprises (Elektro Primorska, Mercator, Pipistrel, Telekom, Pošta Slovenije, HIT) and multiple municipal clients.
