Finalisation Of Sanitary Emergency Due To COVID-19

On 25 May 2023, the sanitary emergency declared in Peru on March 2020 due to COVID-19 pandemic finished.

Such situation has the following labour impact:

• The employer will not be entitled to amend workers' shifts as a preventive measure against the risk of spreading COVID -19. Notice that general labour regulation still allows such possibility due to objective causes.
• The employer must practice occupational exams to employees every two years in jobs that are not risky and annually for those who imply the execution of risk activities. Also, pre-employment exams should be practiced to employees that perform risky activities.
• Until 23 August 2023, the employer must carry out audits to the Occupational Health and Safety Management System and must present the audit report to the competent authorities within a maximum period of 15 calendar days from its issuance.
