A Diagram of Mexican Health and Safety
A DIAGRAM OF MEXICAN LABOR - HEALTH AND SAFETY
Mexican law is codified - absent is the bewildering maze of competing State and Federal regulations for Health and Safety that manufacturers in the U.S. have to contend with.
FEDERAL LABOR LAW - (Ley Federal Del Trabajo (reformed Dec. 1, 2012)
There is one Labor Law in Mexico; the Federal Labor Law (Ley Federal del Trabajo or LFT) is based on Article 123 of the Constitution of 1917 and is the direct response to the labor abuses that were one of the principal causes of the Mexican Revolution. Labor is the responsibility of the Secretary of Labor and Social Welfare (Secretar�a del Trabajo y Previsi�n Social - STPS).
There are several Regulations of the Federal Labor Law. The Regulation for Occupational Safety, Health, and Environment (RFSHMAT) based on LFT Article 133, and the Regulation for the Inspection and Application of Sanctions for Violations of Labor Legislation, based on LFT Articles 550, 992, 1008, 1009.
The NOMs (Normas Oficiales Mexicanas - Official Mexican Standards) detail the procedures and formats for the different sections of the RFSHMAT.
In other words, the RFSHMAT is the outline for Health and Safety in the workplace and the NOMs are the rules and procedures for compliance. These NOMs are NOM-STPS. The NOM classification is, as in the example that follows:
STPS = Secretar�a del Trabajo y Previsi�n Social = Secretary of Labor and Social Welfare which is responsible for Labor, Health and Safety.
REGULATION - Regulations are based on a Law or Laws and are created by the Secretary responsible for the Law. In labor legislation the STPS creates the labor Regulations.
There are 3 Regulations of the Federal Labor Law.
The Federal Regulation for Health, Safety, and the Work Environment -- RFSHMAT
The objective of the Regulation for Health and Safety is the establishing of the measures necessary for prevention of accidents and illnesses on the job, and its stated aim is achieving work being performed under conditions of safety, health and adequate environment for the workers.
The Regulation defines the responsibilities of Employers and employees and serves as the outline for Health and Safety � each one of the Chapters is detailed in the NOMs (STPS) with procedures, programs, documentation, tests, and verification required in a Health and Safety program that is compliant. The Regulation is the outline for your Health and Safety program, the NOMs are the details
General Regulation for the Inspection and Application of Sanctions for Violations of Labor Legislation (1998)
This Regulation details the amounts and procedures for implementing fines and sanctions for non-compliance to the Regulation for Health and Safety and the Health and Safety NOMs.
This is a short Regulation that regulates the rights of workers for formulate an objection to the Tax declaration of a company by which profit sharing is calculated. Articles 121 and 122 are the Articles of the Labor Law which state that workers can file an objection to the Annual tax declaration of companies. This regulation is important to review with Chapter VIII of the Labor Law which has to do with Profit Sharing.
A NOM (= Norma Oficial Mexicana = Official Mexican Standard) have the force of Law. They are created by the DGN (= Direcci�n General de Normas) which is under the authority of the Secretary of Economy (Secretar�a de Econom�a = formerly known as SECOFI) The DGN creates National Consultative Committees integrated by experts, both government and private sector who create NOMs or Standards based on the Laws, and Regulations. The NOMs provide you with the details of compliance, procedures, programs, permits. Each NOM has a designation based on the Secretary responsible for oversight of compliance. Example: NOM-005-STPS-1998 is a Health and Safety standard. All Health and Safety Standards have a different number but the same "STPS" designation.
NOM = Norma Oficial Mexicana = Official Mexican Standard
005 = the number of this NOM
STPS = Secretar�a de Trabajo y Previsi�n Social Secretary of Labor and Social Welfare
1998 = The year this NOM was published in the DOF
DOF = Diario Oficial de la Federaci�n = Official Daily of the Federation
