The Code of Labor provides a detailed regulation of the workplace
environment so that placing of the materials or means of working do not
prevent the free circulation in case of danger near exits, corridors and
passages. Work locations on the floors or underground, should always have
stairs with sufficient width.
Article 58 of the Labor Code provides that floors and raised platforms,
footbridges and entrance into them, should be built, put and protected in
such a way as to provide safety to employees who work in them.
Scaffolds, work and circulation platforms, footbridges with exits into
space, should be equipped with protective devices at a height of 1.45 meters
above the floor level and plinths at a height no less than 15 cm or through
other means that provide the same protection.
The stairs should be resistant, the weight they can carry should be figured
out and they should be equipped with stair steps on equal distance from each
other and well fixed into the propping parts. They should have sufficient
length to provide opportunity for safe prop.
Stair steps should be properly fixed in such a way that they can neither
waver nor slip.
Article 60 of the Code of Labor provides that troughs, pits with water or
reservoirs shall be built, placed and protected in such a way as to protect the
employees from tumbles and risks that might be caused in case of removal of
side partitions, filling, streaming out or sprinkling by different products
which might cause burn of chemical origin. The employer should undertake
all the necessary measures to avoid tumbles or slipping on land with slipping
material, wet or with stains of different agents.
Lighting of the environment, of the workplace, should be sufficient to
ensure normal performance of work.
Pursuant article 63 of the Code of Labor, the employer shall make
analysis of the risk of fire or explosion and accordingly undertake the
necessary measures to prevent them, taking into account the nature of the
materials used as well as the work environment.
