ILO Convention 155: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn about your legal rights to a safe working environment through the international standards set by the ILO Convention 155.
ILO Convention 155 is an international agreement designed to establish standards for occupational safety and health in the workplace.
Who it's for
This convention is intended for workers located within countries that have officially signed and agreed to follow these international standards.
What you get
You are granted the legal right to a safe and healthy working environment. This framework aims to protect your physical and mental well-being while you are on the job.
What it costs you
It is free to be covered by the protections established under this convention.
The catch to know
The protections are only effective if your specific country has formally ratified the convention. Being a worker in a signatory country is the key requirement for these standards to apply to your situation.
How to apply
- Check if your country has officially ratified the convention.
- Review your local labor laws to see how these international standards are implemented.
- Contact your local labor union or workplace safety representative if you have concerns about your environment.
