The Committee notes with satisfaction the information provided by the Government regarding the adoption of the Occupational Safety and Health Directive by the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs in 2008 (OSH Directive), which lays down general occupational safety and health (OSH) provisions and specific rules on fire prevention, working with chemicals, exposure to radiations, electric and magnetic fields, noise, vibration and rules protecting workers employed in cold/hot thermal environments. In addition, the Committee notes that the OSH Directive defines specific rules on OSH in the manufacturing sector, in the construction sector, and in agriculture.

The Committee is raising other points in a request addressed directly to the Government.
