Here is the ergonomics legislation from
Georgia
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
Georgia does not have a single “ergonomics act,” but ergonomics regulation is integrated into its Labor Code and its Organic Law of Georgia on Occupational Health and Safety.
The latter defines the scope of the laws as applicable to both office workers and remote workers.

The Duties of
The Employer
-
Labour Code, Chapter II, Article 9 - Reasonable accommodation
In order to guarantee compliance with the principle of reasonable accommodation, in particular, the principle of equal treatment in relation to persons with disabilities, employers shall take measures, where needed, to enable a person with a disability to have access to or advance in employment, or to undergo advanced training and vocational training and retraining, unless such measures would impose a disproportionate burden on the employer. This burden shall not be deemed disproportionate where adequate state support programmes, benefits and/or other alternative remedies are available for persons with disabilities in relation to the measure in question. -
Labour Code, Chapter IX, Article 45 − Right to safe and healthy working environment
1. Employers shall provide employees with a work environment that is as safe and healthy as possible in respect of the life and health of the employees.
2. Employers shall, within a reasonable time, provide employees with full, objective, and comprehensive information available regarding all factors affecting employees’ life and health or the safety of the natural environment.
3. Employees may refuse to perform work, an assignment, or an instruction, that contravenes law or, due to the lack of occupational safety standards, obviously and substantially jeopardises their or a third person’s life and health, property, or the safety of the natural environment. Employees shall immediately inform the employer of the grounds for refusing to fulfil their obligations under an employment agreement.
4. Employers shall introduce a preventive system ensuring labour safety and provide employees with relevant information in a timely manner about labour safety-related risks and measures to prevent risks. In addition, employers shall inform employees about the rules for handling dangerous equipment and, if necessary, provide employees with personal protective equipment. According to technological progress, employers shall replace in a timely manner hazardous equipment with safe or less hazardous equipment, and shall take all other reasonable steps for employees’ safety and for the protection of their health.
5. An employer shall take every reasonable step to localise and eliminate the effects of an industrial accident in a timely manner, to administer first aid, and to carry out evacuation.
