<strong>SEEU</strong> <strong>Review</strong> Volume 5, No. 2, 2009<br />

The environments, where materials that emit flammable vapor are<br />

processed and stored, shall have a ventilation system and the employer must<br />

not permit introduction of equipment that might cause sparkling.<br />

Smoking is banned in such environments.<br />

Each work environment must necessarily be equipped with an adequate<br />

number of fire extinguishers, which should be kept in good functioning state.<br />

Water and sand supplies must also be kept near workplaces that pose more<br />

risks.<br />

The employer should make the employees aware of threats from fire and<br />

other explosions, as well as the use of protective means to prevent such<br />

threats and also show to the employees where the exit routes to be used in<br />

case of danger are.<br />

Article 67 on protection against atmospheric conditions provides that<br />

when employees work in nature, site construction, public works, agriculture<br />

or industry, they should be provided to a shelter at a distance that could be<br />

freely used by the employees.<br />

In addition, it is provided that the employer should put individual<br />

equipment for protection from risks at work as well as the necessary means<br />

to ensure the personal hygiene, water in sufficient quantities, soap, cleaning<br />

and wiping means at the disposal of employees. In every work environment,<br />

the employer is obliged to put the first aid box equipped with the necessary<br />

means and materials.<br />

II-Legal responsibility concerning the violation of the labor<br />

legislation<br />

Regarding the safety and the protection of health, the Code of Labor<br />

provides that the employer is responsible in cases of accidents and<br />

occupational diseases, as he/she is the one who should clearly establish the<br />

rules of technical safety. The responsibility of the employers may be either<br />

administrative or criminal depending on the specific violations established,<br />

some of which contain elements of criminal offence.<br />

Specific inspection institutions have been brought into permanent effect<br />

serving to the full implementation of the labor legislation.<br />
