Legislation. The Committee notes the information provided by the Government regarding the adoption of the Occupational Health and Safety Act (Official Gazette of the Republic of Slovenia, No. 43/11), which repeals the Health and Safety Act, 1999, and has a broader scope of application; the Rules on regular updating of skills and training in the field of health and safety at work (No. 109/11); and the Rules on permits for performing safety at work-related tasks (No. 109/11). The Committee also notes the information provided by the Government on the effect given to Article 12(c) of the Convention. The Committee requests the Government to continue to provide information on legislative measures undertaken with regard to the Convention.

Application of the Convention in practice. The Committee welcomes the Government’s indication that in order to help employers (particularly those employing a small number of workers) and workers understand and implement occupational safety and health (OSH) legislation, a number of manuals and publications on various topics were drawn up by the Ministry of Labour, Family and Social Affairs. The Committee also notes the indication that, in response to the 13 fatal occupational accidents which occurred in forestry work in 2013, the labour inspectorate drew up a guidance document on safe work in forests, which it published online. Furthermore, the Committee notes that the total number of OSH violations uncovered by the labour inspectorate increased from 15,939 in 2012 to 18,005 in 2013 and, from the detailed statistical data provided, that the number of occupational accidents in the mining sector has significantly decreased over the years, with no fatal accidents since 2008. The Committee requests the Government to continue to provide updated information on the manner in which the Convention is applied in practice and relevant statistics.
