The purpose of this study is to analyze the fulfilment of the obligations assumed by the Association Agreement with the European Union in the field of occupational safety, the legal compliance of Georgian legislation with the directives of the Council of Europe and the conventions of the International Labor Organization, and the effectiveness of the enforcement of labour safety standards at different stages of the labour legislation reform implemented in 2015-2023.
The analysis of the achievements and challenges of the latest reform in the field of occupational safety is based on the analysis of annual reports of international organizations, labour inspection, as well as the results of written and oral surveys of stakeholders in the field of occupational safety, which highlight proposals for legislative improvement in the field of labour inspection and recommendations for improving the effectiveness of enforcement.
The results of the study were generalized in the form of the latest challenges and recommendations in the field of occupational safety, which determine the proposals for the expansion of labour legislation and the improvement of the effectiveness of enforcement.
