Administrative Instruments
Under Art. 17 of the Health and Safety at Work Act (Cap. 646), the Chief Executive Officer of the Occupational Health and Safety Authority is empowered to issue Administrative Instruments, which are required for the discharge of the Authority’s functions under this Act and which ensure adequate health and safety standards at work. In terms of the same Act, "Administrative Instrument" shall include any order, directive, protocol, guideline, explanatory memorandum, information circular, including notices, or other publication issued by the Authority in accordance with this power.
The OHSA may, from time to time, vary, establish additional conditions, procedures, requirements, changes, limitations, or other necessary amendments to the binding instrument regulating occupational health and safety related measures.
Any Administrative Instrument shall have the force of law and be binding in its generality. However, any person who may feel aggrieved by the applicability of this Administrative Instrument may appeal before the Health and Safety Tribunal, on email: appeals.hst@gov.mt within 20 working days, in accordance with the procedure established by the same Tribunal.
