Department of Labor and Employment(DOLE)

January 15, 2022 Dear RYAN ROLDAN, Thank you for your request dated Jan 11, 2022 07:59:10 PM under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch. You asked forthe following re: Rule 1960 Occupational Health Services. 1. Updates/amendment on the Rule 1960 of Occupational Safety and Health Standards. 2. List of enterprise (small, medium, and large scale) and their risk category (low, medium, high-risk establishment) With regard to your first concern, DOLE DO 198-18 otherwise known as the IRR of the OSH Law, in effect has already amended the required Occupational Health Personnel to Workers ratio. (Please see attached). Currently, the OSH Standards is under review for amendments. Hopefully, by next quarter, the DOLE will issue a Department Order on it. Anent your second concern, it is with regret that we do not have it in our possession. Traditionally, it is the OSH Committee/Safety Officers who make the risk level classification which in turn is the basis for the required OSH Personnel. Thank you. Respectfully, Mark Valeros FOI Receiving Officer
