Abstract
The Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development amended labour law to remove two articles and add a new one to specify hazardous professions and jobs, and prohibit certain categories of workers from being employed in them or only allowing employment under special conditions. Article 186 will also be amended to prohibit persons under the age of 18 from being employed in mines or quarries.
