Statute overview

About this statute

This provision introduces the Occupational Safety and Health Convention, 1981, and starts Part I on scope and definitions. A ratifying Member may exclude some economic sectors from the Convention, but must report excluded branches, reasons, worker protections, and later progress toward broader application. This article says the Convention applies to all workers in covered economic sectors, but a ratifying Member may exclude limited categories of workers with particular difficulties after consultation. This article defines key terms used in the convention, including economic activity, workers, workplace, regulations, and health at work. Each Member must set up, carry out, and regularly review a national policy on occupational safety, occupational health, and the working environment.
