Υγεία και ασφάλεια των εργαζομένων στην Ελλάδα, το ευρωπαϊκό ρυθμιστικό πλαίσιο και η εθνική εφαρμογή του
<p>This article examines the institutional framework<br />regulating health and safety at work in Greece.<br />The analysis reveals that the regulations concerning<br />occupational health and safety are mainly<br />of European origin, since national legislation is<br />harmonized with the Community Directives. On<br />the other hand, the enforcement mechanisms of<br />the legislation between member-states hardly<br />converge, since the public administration of each<br />country still operates with its own functions and<br />procedures. The organizational structure and<br />history of each enforcement mechanism are of<br />great importance, while its independence from<br />the government is essential for its impartiality.<br />The European Social Charter is also mentioned in<br />the article, though its significance is deemed to<br />be limited up to now.</p>
