Protection of workers' personal data. Employers collect personal data on job applicants and workers for several purposes, and new ways of collecting and processing such data entail some new risks for workers. While various national laws and international standards have established binding procedures for processing personal data, data protection provisions need to be developed specifically on the use of workers' personal data, in order to safeguard the dignity of workers, protect their privacy and guarantee their fundamental right to determine who may use which data for what purposes and under what conditions. This book provides guidance on data protection, covering data collection, security, storage, use and communication. Invaluable for the development of legislation, regulations, collective agreements, work rules, policies and practical measures at the enterprise level. Geneva, 1997. 56 pp. ISBN 92-2-110329-3. SFR15; US$13.50; UK£8.10. Translation: French, Spanish.

This revised publication is an indispensable tool for describing and presenting information on occupations in a manner which makes international comparison possible. It can also serve as a model for developing or revising a national occupational classification. ISCO-88 has a hierarchical, four-layer structure, built on the basis of the type of work performed as reflected in the level, and in the specialization, of the skills needed to execute a job. A large number of countries have already started to develop their national occupational classifications according to ISCO-88 principles. Geneva, 1991. 457 pp. SFR65.
