Observation (CEACR) - adopted 1990, published 77th ILC session (1990)

Occupational Safety and Health Convention, 1981 (No. 155) - Finland (Ratification: 1985)

Further to its previous comments, the Committee notes with satisfaction Act No. 287, issued on 31 March 1988 which establishes section 9(c), to be added to Act No. 299/58 on worker protection. Section 9(c) provides that a worker has a right to remove himself or herself from work which presents a serious danger to life or health and that this right continues until the employer has taken the measures necessary to make the situation safe, thus ensuring the application of Articles 13 and 19(f) of the Convention. The Committee is raising other points in a request addressed directly to the Government.
