About this statute

This provision states that Law 436 of 1998 approves Convention 162 on safe use of asbestos. This provision applies the Convention to activities where workers are exposed to asbestos and lets ratifying members exclude some sectors or enterprises in limited cases. This article defines key terms used in the convention, including asbestos, asbestos dust, breathable asbestos fibers, asbestos exposure, workers, and workers’ representatives. National law must require measures to prevent and control health risks from occupational asbestos exposure and protect workers; the competent authority may allow temporary exceptions under set conditions. La autoridad competente debe consultar a las organizaciones más representativas de empleadores y de trabajadores interesadas antes de adoptar medidas para dar efecto al Convenio.
