The objectives of the Occupational Safety and Health Branch include: the formulation of international labour standards and the development of guidelines as a basis for national policy-making; the strengthening of national occupational safety and health structures, services and tripartite advisory mechanisms; and the provision of technical advisory services and training. The publication and dissemination of technical documents therefore receive high priority and the Occupational Safety and Health Branch has made considerable efforts to guarantee their quality.
This catalogue also includes publications and documents on safety and health prepared by other ILO departments and branches, field offices and technical cooperation projects. These comprise subject- or sector-specific areas which address one or more of the ILO's tripartite constituents. The Occupational Safety and Health Branch acknowledges the contribution made by these other ILO organisms in the field of occupational safety and health.
In addition to the information on ILO publications on occupational safety and health, the International Occupational Safety and Health Information Centre (CIS) of the Occupational Safety and Health Branch may provide further information on documents published worldwide on all subjects that can contribute to the prevention of occupational accidents and diseases. For this purpose CIS maintains a bibliographic database available on a subscription basis and publishes many practical documents cited in this catalogue with a CIS reference.
The publications in this catalogue are available through the Publications Department at ILO Headquarters in Geneva and through the ILO Offices in the list at the back of this catalogue. To request publications, please write: ILO Publications, 4, Route des Morillons, CH-1211 Geneva, 22 Switzerland, telephone: (+41.22) 799.73.01, fax: (+41-22) 799.85.78, or e-mail: pubvente@ilo.org.

The protection of the worker against sickness, disease and injury arising out of employment is one of the tasks assigned to the ILO in the words of the Preamble of its Constitution.
The development of international standards in the form of Conventions and accompanying Recommendations is one of the main functions of the ILO. These standards, which are adopted by the International Labour Conference, cover labour and social issues. As a package, they constitute the International Labour Code which defines minimum standards in the labour and social fields. Close to 50 per cent of these instruments relate directly or indirectly to occupational safety and health.
Conventions are comparable to multilateral international treaties; they are open to ratification by member States and, once ratified, become binding obligations. A government that has ratified a Convention is expected to apply its provisions through legislation or other appropriate means as indicated in the text of the Convention. The government is also required to report regularly on the application of ratified Conventions. The extent of compliance is subject to examination by ILO machinery. Complaints about alleged non-compliance may be made by the governments of other ratifying States or by employers' or workers' organizations, and procedures exist for investigating and acting upon such complaints. Conventions that have not been ratified have the same value as Recommendations.
Recommendations are intended to offer guidelines for action by member States. Often, a particular Recommendation will elaborate upon the provisions of a Convention on the same subject. Member States have certain important procedural obligations in respect of Recommendations - namely, to submit the texts to their legislative bodies, to report on the action resulting therein, and to report occasionally at the request of the Governing Body on the measures taken or envisaged to give effect to the provisions, but no specific substantive obligations are entailed.
ILO standards have exerted considerable influence on the laws and regulations of member States. Many texts have been modelled on the relevant provisions of ILO instruments. Drafts of new legislations or amendments are often prepared with ILO standards in mind so as to ensure compliance with ratified Conventions or to permit the ratification of other Conventions. Trade unions use ILO standards to support arguments in bargaining and in promoting legislation. Governments frequently consult the ILO, both formally and informally, about the compatibility of proposed legislative texts with international labour standards.
Occupational safety and health standards broadly fall into four groups or categories. The first includes standards which aim at guiding policies for action, such as the Occupational Safety and Health Convention, the Occupational Health Services Convention and their accompanying Recommendations. The second group provides for protection in given branches of economic activity including mining, the building industry, commerce and offices and dock work. The third highlights measures of protection, e.g. guarding of machinery, medical examination of young workers, maximum weight of loads to be transported by a single worker. The fourth group provides for protection against specific risks: e.g. ionizing radiation, benzene, asbestos, prevention of occupational cancer, prevention of air pollution, noise and vibration in the working environment and safety in the use of chemicals including the prevention of major industrial accidents.
The ILO policy on occupational health and safety is essentially contained in two international Conventions and their accompanying Recommendations. The ILO Occupational Safety and Health Convention (No. 155) and Recommendation (No. 164), 1981, provide for the adoption of a national occupational safety and health policy and describe the actions needed at the national and at the enterprise levels to promote occupational safety and health and to improve the working environment. The ILO Occupational Health Services Convention (No. 161) and Recommendation (No. 171), 1985, provide for the establishment of occupational health services which will contribute to the implementation of the occupational safety and health policy and will perform their functions at the enterprise level.
Further guidance is provided in codes of practice to be used as reference work by anyone in charge of formulating detailed regulations or responsible for occupational safety and health. They are drawn up with the objective of providing guidance to those who may be engaged in the framing of occupational safety and health programmes. They are then adopted by meetings of experts and their publication is approved by the ILO Governing Body. The codes of practice offer guidelines to employers' and workers' organizations. Their provisions should be read in the context of conditions in the country proposing to use this information and the scale of operation involved. More than twenty codes of practice have been drawn up so far, covering either different sectors of activity (mines, agriculture, forestry, construction and public works, shipbuilding and repairing, iron and steel, prevention of major industrial accidents), or particular risks (ionizing radiations, noise and vibration, exposure to airborne harmful substances, safety in the use of chemicals at work). Codes of practice are not intended to replace national laws, regulations or accepted standards.

Management of alcohol- and drug-related issues in the workplace. Problems relating to alcohol and drug use may arise from personal, family or social factors, or from certain work situations, or from a combination of these elements. Such problems not only have an adverse effect on the health and well-being of workers but may also cause difficulties at work, including a deterioration in job performance. While the elimination of substance abuse is a highly desirable goal, experience has shown the difficulty of achieving this. The practical recommendations contained in this book are intended to provide guidance to all those who have responsibility for addressing alcohol-and drug-related issues at the workplace.
