Saudi ArabiaAsia
Change country ↑OSH and labour regulations in Saudi Arabia
In Saudi Arabia, OSH is regulated through the Labour Law, the provisions of the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development: HRSD and the social insurance system managed by GOSI. Vision 2030 acts as the strategic labour transformation framework, but concrete obligations derive from labour legislation and ministerial resolutions.

Key questions, answered.
01What does the Labour Law require in terms of OSH in Saudi Arabia?
It requires employers to protect workers from occupational risks, maintain adequate hygiene and ventilation conditions, provide PPE, and inform and train workers about the risks of their role.
02What is HRSD and what role does it play in enforcement?
HRSD regulates labour relations and supervises OSH compliance. It can inspect, verify documentation, require corrective measures and sanction. It requires the maintenance of records, the documentation of processes and the existence of accident investigation procedures.
03What is GOSI and what obligations does it create?
GOSI manages the coverage of accidents and occupational diseases for both Saudi and non-Saudi workers. Accidents must generally be reported within 3 days from when the employer becomes aware of the accident.
04How does Vision 2030 affect OSH management?
It has driven greater requirements for management, documentation and training. Certain activities must have OSH professionals depending on size and sector, including construction, oil, mining, manufacturing and petrochemicals.
05How does Sabentis support OSH management in Saudi Arabia?
Through risk assessment, document management, incident recording and investigation, training traceability, inspections, contractor coordination and evidence generation for HRSD and GOSI.
SpainEurope
Change country ↑Occupational risk prevention in Spain: duties and records
Law 31/1995 places occupational risk prevention (PRL) within the management of the business. Risk assessment, preventive planning, the organisation of prevention services and worker participation must reflect the actual conditions at each workplace. Royal Decree 39/1997 develops the organisational requirements, while Royal Decree 171/2004 addresses coordination between businesses.
Sources checked on .

Key questions, answered.
01What does Spain’s Occupational Risk Prevention Law require?
Employers must protect workers’ health and safety and integrate prevention into business activities and decisions. This includes a prevention plan, risk assessment and planned measures, together with information, training, emergency arrangements and health surveillance under the statutory conditions. Articles 14 to 16 of Law 31/1995 establish the core duties.
02When must the risk assessment be reviewed?
The assessment must reflect the tasks, equipment, substances and characteristics of exposed workers. It must be updated when working conditions change and reviewed when harm to health or monitoring indicates that existing measures may be inadequate. Review intervals must reflect the risks and applicable requirements: there is no universal annual renewal rule for every assessment. Findings must feed back into preventive planning.
03How should the employer organise prevention?
Royal Decree 39/1997 provides for the employer to undertake certain preventive activities personally where the conditions are met, for designated workers, and for internal or external prevention services. It also regulates shared services. The appropriate arrangement depends on factors including workforce size, activity and risk. Appointing an external service does not remove the employer’s responsibility or replace implementation of measures at the workplace.
04What changes when several businesses share a workplace?
Royal Decree 171/2004 requires cooperation and information exchange about the risks arising from concurrent activities. The roles differ: the workplace operator provides information about site risks and the relevant instructions; the principal business has additional oversight duties when contracting out its own activity at its workplace. Coordination arrangements must suit the risk and be communicated before work starts and when relevant changes occur.
05Which records must be available?
Article 23 of Law 31/1995 covers the prevention plan, risk assessment and checks on working conditions, preventive planning, health surveillance documentation and records of occupational accidents and diseases causing incapacity for more than one day. Organise evidence by workplace, role, owner and date. Employers’ access to health information must respect the confidentiality limits in Article 22.
06Are instructions or a training certificate enough?
No. Training must be theoretical and practical, sufficient and appropriate to the role, and adapted as risks evolve. Information, consultation and worker participation are also part of prevention. An attendance record helps demonstrate that an activity took place, but does not by itself establish that the content was suitable or that the controls work.
07Practical example: what should change when a new forklift is introduced?
Illustrative example. A warehouse introduces a forklift and changes traffic routes. Its prevention team reviews vehicle movements and pedestrian interactions, assigns measures and owners, checks training and updates instructions. Where delivery drivers or external maintenance teams are involved, it also adjusts coordination. The team then checks whether the changes are effective in practice and retains the evidence.
08How can Sabentis support occupational risk prevention?
Sabentis connects safety information, assessments and action tracking in a management platform. An organisation can link an identified need to measures and evidence, depending on the modules and configuration implemented. Determining applicable requirements, conducting technical assessments and checking compliance remain the responsibility of the organisation and competent professionals.

Change country ↑OSH regulations in Panama: prevention and risk management
The Social Security Fund (CSS) lists the General Regulations on Occupational Risk Prevention and Workplace Safety and Hygiene, approved by Resolution 45,588-2011-J.D., as current legislation. The regulations require prevention to be organised and documented, taking account of risks, workplace size and activity-specific provisions.
Sources checked on .

Panama City · JAVR2020 · Source · CC BY-SA 4.0. Converted to WebP.
Key questions, answered.
01What is the general prevention framework in Panama?
The CSS regulations establish prevention duties for public and private workplaces. They must be read alongside applicable labour and sector-specific rules. The CSS portal lists Resolution 45,588-2011-J.D. as current legislation and provides the text. The document consulted is updated to June 2020; the date on which sources were checked does not mean that the regulation was amended in 2026.
02What should the prevention plan cover?
Article 6 requires an occupational risk prevention and management plan in accordance with CSS guidance. It must address work-related hazards through concrete measures, training and understandable instructions. For effective management, identify activities, exposed people, controls, owners and evidence. Planning must reflect the workplace’s actual conditions rather than simply reproduce a generic template.
03Which activities should the management system include?
Article 23 addresses monitoring of working conditions and health, first aid, training, safe working procedures, personal protection and emergency preparedness, as applicable. Article 24 requires the system to be documented and available to the CSS. Recommendations and implementation deadlines set by the institution should be included in action tracking.
04How is worker participation organised?
The regulations provide for consultative committees involving employers and workers to review and promote preventive measures. Their organisation must reflect workforce size and the nature of the risks. Article 27 also allows certain company committees established under collective agreements or internal rules approved by MITRADEL to perform these functions. Validate the applicable arrangement before importing thresholds or committee structures from another country.
05What role do training and protective equipment play?
Employers must provide training linked to risks and preventive measures, together with instructions and appropriate protective equipment. Issuing equipment must be accompanied by suitable selection, use, maintenance and supervision. To demonstrate management, link training and protection to each worker’s tasks and exposures, and check that measures are actually applied.
06Are there additional requirements for construction?
Yes. Construction has specific provisions, including Executive Decree 2 of 2008, published by MITRADEL. Before organising a project, check the requirements applicable to its activities and the responsibilities of the parties involved. A general CSS document should not be assumed to cover every duty associated with a construction site or a particularly hazardous task.
07Practical example: what should a logistics centre review?
Illustrative example. The centre identifies vehicle movements, load handling and maintenance tasks. It establishes separation measures, procedures, training and emergency arrangements, assigns owners and checks implementation. It records inspections and recommendations received from the CSS, including deadlines, and keeps documentation available for review. The scope is tailored to the workplace’s risks.
08How can Sabentis support the prevention team?
Sabentis can help bring information, documentation and action tracking into a connected management process, depending on the agreed implementation. The business and its professionals must determine the specific requirements and check whether the evidence is sufficient. A platform does not replace procedures, inspections or actions required by the CSS or MITRADEL.

ChileLatin America and the Caribbean
Change country ↑OSH regulations in Chile: Law 16.744 and Decree 44
Law 16.744 establishes the occupational accident and disease insurance and prevention framework. Since 1 February 2025, Supreme Decree 44 has regulated preventive management, replacing the former Decrees 40 and 54. The risk matrix and prevention programme must be connected to training, participation and records of the work carried out.
Sources checked on .

Key questions, answered.
01What changed under Supreme Decree 44?
Decree 44 brings together rules on preventive management, organisation, information, training and participation. It has been in force since 1 February 2025. Law 16.744 remains a central reference, and activity-specific or exposure-specific rules must also be checked. Relying solely on forms based on the former Decrees 40 and 54 may leave requirements of the current framework unaddressed.
02How are the risk matrix and prevention programme connected?
The matrix must cover processes, tasks and roles, including the different risk factors and the gender perspective required by Decree 44. It must be reviewed at least annually and in the additional circumstances specified in the regulation, such as changed conditions or accidents. The prevention work programme must be prepared or amended within 30 calendar days of creating or updating the matrix, with measures, deadlines and responsible persons.
03When is a joint committee or safety delegate required?
Article 23 of Decree 44 requires a joint health and safety committee where more than 25 people work in a business, worksite, branch or agency. At workplaces with 10 to 25 people and no joint committee, Article 66 provides for a health and safety delegate. Check the organisational unit to which the threshold applies and any relevant specific rules.
04What preventive training does Decree 44 require?
Article 16 establishes a minimum duration of eight hours and an interval set by the programme that must not exceed two years. The content must address relevant risks and controls. The technical guide approved by Exempt Resolution 1117 of 2026 develops training and recordkeeping criteria. Retaining the programme, participant details, duration, content and assessments helps demonstrate what was delivered.
05What happens when contractors are involved?
Where businesses work alongside each other, review the applicable coordination and subcontracting requirements, including Decree 76. Before work starts, identify the businesses and tasks, their risks and interactions, the responsible persons and agreed measures. Each employer’s prevention duties remain in place when its workers carry out activities at another business’s premises.
06Which records must be available?
Article 72 of Decree 44 requires records demonstrating fulfilment of prevention duties, preferably electronically, and available to the authority and the occupational insurance administrator. Link the matrix to the programme, training, participation, investigations and verification of measures. Traceability should show what was done, who was involved and how the outcome was checked.
07Practical example: how should a 30-person warehouse manage a change?
Illustrative example. The warehouse changes its order-picking process. It reviews the matrix with exposed workers and the joint committee, considers load handling and traffic, and updates the programme within the applicable deadline. It assigns measures, provides information and training on the new risks, and checks the results. Where contractors are involved, their interactions and coordination needs are included.
08How can Sabentis support this work?
Sabentis can help organise risk information and action tracking in a shared environment, depending on the configuration implemented. The prevention team retains technical judgement and checks the specific requirements of Decree 44, its insurance administrator and its activity. Digital records make information easier to consult; they do not constitute certification of legal compliance.

MexicoLatin America and the Caribbean
Change country ↑OSH, NOM-STPS and NOM-035 in Mexico
In Mexico, occupational health and safety is governed by the Federal Labour Act and the Official Mexican Standards (NOMs) issued by the STPS. NOM-030-STPS establishes preventive services and NOM-035-STPS regulates psychosocial risk factors.

Key questions, answered.
01What are the NOM-STPS and which companies must comply with them?
The NOM-STPS are Official Mexican Standards issued by the STPS that are mandatory for all workplaces in Mexico. They regulate more than 40 specific conditions: electrical installations, hazardous substance handling, work at height, ergonomics and psychosocial risk factors.
02What does NOM-030-STPS require regarding preventive services?
NOM-030-STPS establishes the requirements for preventive safety and health services in workplaces. It requires a safety conditions diagnosis, a safety and health programme and designated responsible personnel. Workplaces must have a Safety and Hygiene Commission in accordance with NOM-019-STPS.
03What does NOM-035-STPS require regarding psychosocial factors?
NOM-035-STPS, in force since 2019, requires the identification and assessment of psychosocial risk factors. Workplaces with more than 50 workers must carry out periodic assessments, implement control measures and maintain documentary records. It is one of the standards with the greatest impact on recent preventive management in Mexico.
04What documentation does the labour authority require in Mexico?
The STPS and IMSS require evidence of: training certificates, Safety and Hygiene Commission records, inspection tour minutes, safety conditions diagnosis, psychosocial risk assessments (NOM-035), incident records and action plans derived from each assessment.
05How does Sabentis help comply with STPS regulations in Mexico?
Sabentis centralizes preventive management in line with the NOM-STPS: role-based hazard identification, Safety and Hygiene Commission with minutes, training with evidence, psychosocial risk assessment (NOM-035), mobile offline inspections and incident investigation. It generates STPS-required documentation in exportable, traceable format.
ArgentinaLatin America and the Caribbean
Change country ↑Occupational health and safety regulations in Argentina
Law 19.587 establishes the occupational hygiene and safety framework, developed by the general regulations in Decree 351/1979. Law 24.557 governs the occupational risk system. Identifying a workplace’s duties requires consideration of its activities, exposures, and applicable sector-specific and technical rules.
Sources checked on .

Buenos Aires · ProtoplasmaKid · Source · CC BY-SA 4.0. Converted to WebP.
Key questions, answered.
01Which regulations should be checked first?
Law 19.587 and Decree 351/1979 are general references for working conditions and prevention. Law 24.557 regulates the prevention of occupational risks and compensation for resulting harm. Specific regulations apply to sectors such as construction, agriculture and mining, alongside resolutions issued by the Superintendence of Occupational Risks (SRT). A single document checklist therefore cannot automatically cover every activity.
02Must every employer take out ART insurance?
The system provides for affiliation with an occupational risk insurer (ART), unless the employer meets the requirements and obtains authorisation to self-insure. Law 24.557 requires financial solvency and the capacity to provide the prescribed care for this alternative. Insurance coverage does not replace the duty to prevent risks, maintain safe conditions and implement the necessary measures.
03What does the ergonomics protocol in Resolution 886/2015 require?
It uses forms to structure identification of risk factors, initial assessment, measures and follow-up. Assessment must reflect the job and involve competent professionals and suitable methods. The resolution provides an exception for employers with an ergonomics management protocol covering those stages and meeting its conditions; a standalone report or posture analysis application is not sufficient.
04Are the RGRL and RAR the same?
No. The General Occupational Risk Survey (RGRL) addresses information about compliance with hygiene and safety conditions. The risk agent survey (RAR) concerns exposures and the workers affected. Manage each according to SRT and ART requirements without confusing their purposes. The information declared must reflect the actual conditions at the workplace.
05What evidence should a workplace organise?
Depending on its activities and exposures, it should be able to demonstrate assessments, measurements, controls, training, suitable protective equipment, maintenance and action follow-up. It must also manage the applicable records and notifications under the occupational risk system. Link each item of evidence to the job or work area, date, responsible person and measure it demonstrates, while keeping health information confidential.
06Is converting a record to digital form enough?
Not necessarily. Digital records must preserve integrity and availability and meet the formal requirements of each procedure. The SRT maintains specific rules on records, electronic submissions and prevention processes. Before replacing a format, check the current procedure and its signature, submission and retention requirements. A copy stored on a platform does not automatically constitute submission to the authority or the ART.
07Practical example: how should discomfort on a packing line be addressed?
Illustrative example. The competent service identifies repetitive tasks and load handling, applies the ergonomics protocol and determines whether a more detailed assessment is needed. It proposes changes to workstations, tools or work organisation, assigns owners and reviews effectiveness. Records should show the progression from identification to follow-up, coordinated with the appropriate health surveillance activities.
08Where can Sabentis add value?
Sabentis can connect risk information, assessments and preventive actions across workplaces, depending on the modules contracted. This helps preserve the context of a measure and track its progress. Appropriate assessment methods, qualified professional involvement and validation of SRT, ART or competent authority requirements remain necessary.

Change country ↑OSH and the Occupational Safety and Health Act in Malaysia
In Malaysia, occupational health and safety is primarily regulated by the Occupational Safety and Health Act 1994: Act 514, updated by the amendments that came into force in 2024.

Key questions, answered.
01What does OSHA 1994 require in Malaysia?
OSHA 1994 requires employers to ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, the safety, health and welfare of their workers: safe systems of work, risk control, training, instructions and supervision. The recent amendments reinforce the obligation to carry out risk assessments and apply control measures.
02What is DOSH and what role does it play in enforcement?
DOSH supervises compliance with OSH regulations. It can inspect, verify records, require corrective measures and act in response to accidents or hazardous situations. Employers must notify accidents, dangerous occurrences and occupational diseases within the established timeframes.
03What is SOCSO and what obligations does it create?
SOCSO/PERKESO manages the social protection linked to accidents and occupational diseases. Companies must register their workers, make contributions and report accidents in accordance with the established procedures.
04What is the OSH Coordinator and when is it mandatory?
The OSH Coordinator coordinates OSH management internally. It is mandatory for employers with 5 or more employees at workplaces that do not require a Safety and Health Officer: SHO. The Safety and Health Committee is mandatory with 40 or more workers or when required by the Director General of DOSH.
05How does Sabentis support OSH management in line with OSHA 1994 in Malaysia?
Sabentis supports through risk assessment, preventive planning, incident recording, training traceability, internal inspections, contractor coordination and evidence generation for DOSH and SOCSO/PERKESO.

PeruLatin America and the Caribbean
Change country ↑OSH regulations in Peru: Law 29783, IPERC and prevention
Law 29783 and its regulations, approved by Supreme Decree 005-2012-TR and subsequent amendments, govern occupational health and safety management. Hazard identification, risk assessment and determination of controls (IPERC) should guide preventive measures, training and worker participation.

Key questions, answered.
01What does Peru’s OSH management system require?
Employers must organise prevention, assess risks, implement measures and promote worker participation. Law 29783 and Supreme Decree 005-2012-TR develop the system’s policy, organisation, planning, evaluation and improvement. Alongside the general framework, check applicable sector rules and amendments. Employer responsibility remains in place when external services are used.
02How often must the IPERC be updated?
The assessment must reflect each role and its working conditions, with participation and consultation of exposed workers and their representatives. Article 57 of Law 29783 requires an update at least annually, and when conditions change or harm to health occurs. Article 77 of the regulations, amended by Supreme Decree 002-2020-TR, develops the requirements for preparing and periodically updating the IPERC.
03When are a committee, supervisor and internal safety rules required?
Employers with 20 or more workers must establish a Health and Safety Committee with equal employer and worker representation, and prepare Internal Occupational Health and Safety Regulations (RISST). Where there are fewer than 20 workers, workers elect an OSH supervisor. These are separate duties: electing representatives does not replace management of the system or the employer’s responsibilities.
04How many training sessions are required?
Article 35 of Law 29783 requires at least four occupational health and safety training sessions per year. They must address workers’ risks, functions and needs, including induction and relevant changes to the work. Record content, dates, participants and any appropriate assessment. Delivering a set number of sessions does not by itself demonstrate that the training is suitable for each role.
05Which documents and records must be maintained?
Articles 32 and 33 of the regulations cover policy and objectives, RISST where required, IPERC and controls, the risk map, planning and the annual programme. They also include records of accidents and incidents, medical examinations, monitoring, inspections, statistics, equipment, training and audits. Define access, retention and ownership for each record; medical data must remain confidential and should not circulate as generally accessible safety documentation.
06How should identified risks become verifiable measures?
Prioritise risks and establish appropriate controls, owners and deadlines, with worker participation. Then check implementation and effectiveness through inspections, follow-up and system review. If a task changes or a control proves inadequate, update the assessment and planning. Management should maintain a visible connection between the risk, the preventive decision and evidence of the outcome.
07Practical example: what should a 22-person workshop organise?
Illustrative example. The workshop checks that its committee is established and its RISST prepared, identifies risks by role through the IPERC, and schedules measures and training. When introducing a machine, it reviews risks and instructions before use. It retains training, inspection and follow-up records, and reviews improvement needs with the committee.
08How can Sabentis help organise these duties?
Sabentis can connect risk information, documents and action tracking, depending on the modules and configuration implemented. This helps the team review the status and evidence of its work. Validating the IPERC, ensuring adequate measures and meeting legal duties still require action by the employer and competent professionals.

ColombiaLatin America and the Caribbean
Change country ↑OSH regulations in Colombia: SG-SST and minimum standards
Decree 1072 of 2015 regulates Colombia’s Occupational Health and Safety Management System (SG-SST). Resolution 0312 of 2019 establishes minimum standards according to workforce size and risk class. Management combines planning, implementation, verification and improvement, supported by worker participation and evidence of the measures implemented.

Key questions, answered.
01Who must implement an SG-SST in Colombia?
Chapter 2.2.4.6 of Decree 1072 covers public and private employers, parties engaging personnel under civil, commercial or administrative contracts, solidarity and cooperative organisations, and temporary employment agencies. Its coverage includes employees, contractors, cooperative workers and agency workers on assignment. The employer or contracting party leads the system and must adapt it to the organisation’s size and characteristics.
02Which minimum standards apply to each business?
Resolution 0312 distinguishes businesses with up to 10 workers in risk classes I, II or III; those with 11 to 50 workers in the same classes; and those with more than 50 workers, together with businesses of 50 or fewer in risk classes IV or V. Each group must check the relevant chapter. Specific provisions also apply to agricultural production units; workforce size alone is not enough to select a checklist.
03What should the annual work plan contain?
The plan must specify objectives, targets, activities, responsibilities, resources and a schedule, with the required signatures. It should follow from the initial assessment, identified risks and system priorities. The PDCA cycle links the plan to implementation, review of results and improvement actions. Self-assessment against minimum standards and the resulting improvement plan should be integrated into this process, rather than treated as a separate administrative exercise.
04When must hazard identification be updated?
Article 2.2.4.6.15 requires it to be documented and updated at least annually, with participation across the organisation. It must also be updated following a fatal occupational accident, a catastrophic event, or changes to processes, facilities, machinery or equipment. It must cover routine and non-routine activities and everyone within the system’s scope, using additional assessment methods where the hazard requires them.
05Are the audit and senior management review the same thing?
No. Article 2.2.4.6.29 requires an annual audit planned with the participation of the joint safety committee (COPASST) or the safety representative (Vigía de SST). Internal auditors must be independent of the activity being audited. Article 2.2.4.6.31 separately requires senior management to review the system at least once a year. Both processes must produce findings and decisions that feed into improvement.
06Which evidence should the organisation maintain?
Article 2.2.4.6.12 covers the policy, assigned responsibilities, hazard identification, annual plan, training, procedures, protective equipment records, COPASST minutes or safety representative activities, investigations and emergency preparedness, among other documents. Maintain an applicable legal matrix and evidence of risk controls. Electronic records are permitted where preservation, identification and accessibility are ensured, while occupational medical records remain confidential.
07Practical example: where should a 15-person business start?
Illustrative example. A business with 15 workers in risk class II checks the standards in Chapter II of Resolution 0312. It appoints a person with the required qualifications, identifies risks with worker participation and converts priorities into an annual plan. It then gathers implementation evidence, carries out the audit and management review, and addresses gaps. Its size does not remove other applicable duties.
08How can Sabentis support continuity in the SG-SST?
The platform can support the organisation of safety information and the tracking of actions, documents and responsibilities, depending on the modules implemented. Its value lies in connecting plans with implementation evidence and review. Software does not replace required professional qualifications or, by itself, establish that the organisation has passed an assessment or inspection.
