Belarus
The information here was collated from official online sources by Ergo Global ergonomists. All information is for general purposes and cannot be considered 1-to-1 legal advice. Ergo Global disclaim any liability relating to the information provided on this page.
To Note
Belarus does not have a single “ergonomics act,” but ergonomics regulation is integrated into its Act No. 356-Z of 23 June 2008 on Labour protection. This legislation does not specify ergonomics considerations for remote workers, but does mention several other labour considerations for remote workers in Chapter 25-1.
