The Duties of
The Employer
-
Section 95
(1) Hygiene and safety conditions at the workplace shall be determined by orders of the Minister in charge of labour, issued after consultation with the National Commission on Industrial Hygiene and Safety.
(2) The said orders, while taking local conditions and contingencies into account, shall aim at securing for the workers standards of hygiene and safety conforming with those recommended by the international Labour Organization and other Internationally recognized technical bodies.
(3) They shall specify the cases and circumstances in which Labour Inspectors or the occupational Health Doctors shall have recourse to the procedure of serving formal notice on the employer. However, where there is an impending threat to the health and safety of workers, the Labour Inspector or the occupational Health Doctor shall order immediately enforceable measures to be taken. -
Section 96
(1) Where working conditions endangering the safety or health of the workers but not covered by orders referred to in Section 95 are found to exist, the Labour Inspector or the occupational Heath Doctor shall request the employer to remedy the situation. If the employer objects, the dispute shall be referred to the National Commission on Industrial Hygiene and Safety which shall give a ruling.
(2) In all cases, the Labour Inspector or the Occupational Health Doctor shall report to the said Commission on working conditions which are deemed to be dangerous, in order that appropriate regulations may, if necessary, be prepared.
