Worker participation - Hungary

Introduction

In Hungary, the Government is responsible for defining the fundamental requirements for safety and health at work and employers are responsible for implementing them. The success of OSH measures, however, hinges upon the participation of workers. Hungarian legislation provides for workers' participation in establishing working conditions, including measures to achieve safety and health at work and prevent accidents and occupational diseases. Furthermore, legislation also recognises workers' rights and power for consultation and information. Workers can be involved in OSH activities directly or indirectly via their representatives.
