The Employment Law provides for the basic principles that every worker has the right to obtain protection for occupational safety and health, and that employers must apply an integrated safety and health system within the company’s own management system.
Law No 1 of 1970 on Occupational Safety also sets out basic principles of workplace safety, and is supplemented by a host of implementing regulations. Certain specific obligations are imposed on managers, including the supervision of workers’ health and the obligation to provide guidance on working safely and training in accident prevention. Employees are also required by law to obey all safety instructions and to use personal protective equipment.
