Higiene y Seguridad en el Trabajo - Servicios de Medicina y de Higiene y Seguridad en el Trabajo. Trabajadores equivalentes. Deróganse los Títulos II y VIII del Anexo I del Decreto Nº351/79 [Argentina] [in Spanish]
This Decree dated 25 Nov. 1996 imposes the obligation on employers to provide an industrial medical service and an occupational health and safety service to their employees. These services may be internal or external to the enterprise. The number of "medical hours" and "OSH service hours" per week made available to the workers depends on the number of "equivalent workers" (EWs), defined as the total number of production workers plus 50% of the number of administrative workers. The number of safety officials also depends on the number of EWs. Certain activities are excluded from the obligations imposed by this Decree: agriculture, hunting, forestry and fishing (with up to 15 workers); temporary agricultural workplaces; establishments entirely devoted to administration (with up to 200 workers); medical services; education (if there are no workshops); automobile repair shops (up to 5 workers); entertainment (<3 workers).
