In recent years we have heard a lot about the “NOMS” especially NOM 035 and in the last year, NOM 037, they are in the news, in the newspaper in coffee conversations, in short, everywhere, but what really are the NOM?
The Official Mexican Standards, better known by their acronym “NOM”, are technical regulations that direct the Industry, and that contribute to prevention and correction in matters of Safety, Health and the Environment and are applicable to a product, services or system.
Specifically for Work Centers, the Secretary of Labor and Social Welfare (STPS) is responsible for issuing them and establishing the minimum conditions for the prevention and attention of Risks to which workers may be exposed.
The Federal Labor Law in its article 132, mentions that the employer has the obligation to comply with the NOM, but more than out of obligation and that non-compliance can have an economic impact, it is about care for and protect the most important asset of a company: its employees.
There are 37 NOMs, all of them have the same objective, to prevent and address the risks to which workers could be exposed and although all of them are mandatory for all health centers, work, not all of them apply equally.
Each industry has its own characteristics and based on these are the NOMs that would apply to them. Safety in a factory is not the same as in a Mine or in a Construction or in an Office.
We invite you to review them and based on your industry, implement what each NOM indicates. Not only to avoid sanctions, but to protect your most important asset.
