Abstract

Poor occupational safety and health (OS&H) results in an economic burden of 4% of the total world gross domestic product (GDP). Effective OS&H regulations and their implementation are one of the main factors in achieving an improved safety performance. This article discusses the current OS&H regulations applicable in all industries including construction in Oman. Construction is one of the main industries in Oman, which contributes about 9% towards its GDP. This article attempts to offer some basic understanding of the OS&H regulations applicable to both employees and employers in Oman. The current regulations comprise four chapters and 43 articles, which address some of the key areas, including the specifications of worker uniform and personal protection equipment, medical care, precautions against hazards, special precautionary measures, OS&H management system and enforcement by ministry inspectors. The minimum number of employees for an employer to have a qualified OS&H supervisor is 50. Different agreements between Oman and the International Labour Organization indicate that Oman is committed to implementing the National Programme for Work, which aims to build Oman’s labour market and to provide decent work.

简介:阿曼职业安全和健康条例
不良的职业安全和健康(OS&H)造成的经济负担占世界国内生产总值(GDP)总额的4%。有效的职业安全与卫生法规及其实施是提高安全性能的主要因素之一。本文讨论了目前适用于包括阿曼建筑业在内的所有行业的OS&H法规。建筑业是阿曼的主要产业之一,占GDP的9%。本文试图提供一些基本的OS&H法规适用于雇员和雇主在阿曼。现行法规包括四章43条,涉及一些关键领域,包括工人制服和个人防护装备的规格、医疗保健、预防危险、特殊预防措施、职业健康与卫生管理体系和部门检查员的执行。雇主拥有合格的职业安全与卫生主管的最低雇员人数是50人。阿曼与国际劳工组织之间的不同协定表明,阿曼致力于执行国家工作方案,该方案旨在建立阿曼的劳动力市场并提供体面的工作。
