ILO Codes of practice and guidance documents

ILO Codes of practice

Codes of practice set out practical guidelines for public authorities, employers, workers, enterprises, and bodies (such as enterprise safety committees). They are not legally binding instruments and are not intended to replace the provisions of national laws or regulations, or accepted standards. Codes of Practice can focus on specific economic sectors, or can address particular issues, hazards or health and safety measures.
