San Marino has ratified three international occupational health and safety instruments, reinforcing its commitment to protecting workers and preventing workplace accidents and occupational diseases.
On 22 October 2026, Alessandro Bevitori, Secretary of State for Labour, Economic Planning, Ecological Transition and Technological Innovation, deposited the ratification instruments with International Labour Organization (ILO) Director General Gilbert F. Houngbo.
Strengthening national workplace safety standards
The ratifications include the Occupational Safety and Health Convention, 1981 (No. 155), its 2002 Protocol and the Promotional Framework for Occupational Safety and Health Convention, 2006 (No. 187).
Convention No. 155 requires a coherent national occupational safety and health policy, alongside measures to improve workplace safety.
Its 2002 Protocol establishes requirements for recording and reporting occupational accidents and diseases.
Convention No. 187 promotes the development of national occupational safety and health policies, systems and programmes.
Commitment to worker protection
Bevitori described the ratifications as an important step towards maintaining high standards of workplace protection.
He emphasised the importance of cooperation between government, employers, workers and their representative organisations in preventing occupational accidents and diseases.
The measures reflect San Marino’s commitment to recognising a safe and healthy working environment as a fundamental right.
Completing fundamental ILO ratifications
ILO Director General Gilbert F. Houngbo welcomed the announcement, highlighting that San Marino has now ratified all ten fundamental ILO Conventions.
Conventions No. 155 and No. 187 were recognised as fundamental instruments by the International Labour Conference in 2022.
ILO supports ratification process
The ILO provided guidance to San Marino’s government and social partners throughout the ratification process.
Following the latest commitments, San Marino has ratified 28 ILO Conventions and one Protocol.
The ratifications establish an international framework for continued development of national workplace health and safety measures.
The Director-General of the ILO welcomed the ratifications of those instruments by San Marino and stated that: “With these ratifications, San Marino reaffirms its strong commitment to ILO standards and completes the ratification of the 10 fundamental ILO Conventions. This is a landmark step and a unique opportunity for San Marino to shape a future of work that has safe and healthy working environments.”
