| Abstract |
This regulation was issued by Direktoratet for arbeidstilsynet on 24 May 1993, with modifications on 31 Aug. 1994. It came into effect on 1 Jan. 1995. It implements in Norway the provisions of Directive 89/656/EEC (CIS 90-385). It makes the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) obligatory when the safety, health or welfare of a worker cannot be protected fully by technical equipment or by the modification of work methods or processes. The relevant obligations of employers are outlined (supply of PPE; hazard evaluation; storage, maintenance and testing; training and information of workers). Chapter VI of the 1987 Regulation concerning PPE (see CIS 88-1429, English translation CIS 90-385) is repealed. |
