SO2 working in High Risk workplace

Purpose: Proper hiring
Date of Coverage: 01/16/2018 - 01/16/2024

Halog III 01:43 PM, Jan 16, 2024 

Good day,

May I ask if a subcontractor working in s company (with high risk workplace classification) should assigned solely as SO2 or can one of the workers can also act as SO2 while performing other (operation) duties? This is assuming the total number of workers is nine (9). 


Thank you

Dear Mariano Halog III,

Thank you for your request dated Jan 16, 2024 01:43:38 PM under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch.

You asked for SO2 working in High Risk workplace.

May we provide you a copy of Department of Labor and Employment's (DOLE) Department Order No. 198, Series of 2018, which is also known as the Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR) of the Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) Law.

Section 14 of the mentioned regulation requires establishments classified as high-risk to provide a safety officer who will supervise fully the high-risk activities of the establishment. The presence of a dedicated safety officer is instrumental in ensuring strict adherence to safety protocols and standards, thereby promoting a secure and healthy working environment for all employees.

This proactive measure not only safeguards the well-being of the workforce but also demonstrates the commitment to upholding occupational safety and health standards within the organization.

We hope that we have addressed your concerns.

Help us to continuously improve our FOI Program Implementation by completing the DOLE-FOI Request Feedback Form through this link: bit.ly/DOLE-FOIFeedbackForm.

 Thank you.

Respectfully,

Mark Valeros
FOI Receiving Officer
