1. NATIONAL LAW
The appropriate legislative framework is considered as a decisive element of any national safety and health policy. The publication of occupational safety and health legislation started in Greece in the early 20th century. The interest in OSH issues was continuously increasing and thus a large number of regulations related to the protection of workers was put into force. Today, the Greek labour legislation comprises of over than 100 occupational safety and health statutes, including laws, decrees and decisions, characterized by their binding nature. The regulations include both organizational and technical measures. In respect to their content, they can be distinguished into a) "general" statutes that apply to all enterprises of the public or private sector, regardless of the economic activity and of the number of employees and b) "specific" statutes that focus on specific occupational safety and health aspects.
