ENThe paper deals with problems of reglamentation of health and safety at work in road transport sector in the Republic of Lithuania. Lot of standards are provided in international, European, and national legal acts but there is no sector-specific provisions on health and safety for the road transport sector. However the statistics shows that road transport sector is one of the most dangerous sectors with a growing number of accidents at work. […] Due to the lack of dialogue between social partners, there are difficulties with the local regulation of safety and health at work. Trade unions are not active in process of consultation and information of employees inside establishments. Therefore the road transport operators are not able to sort out, enact in local legal acts and observe all the standards in this field. The author makes a proposal that in order to ensure safety and health at work of road transport workers, it is necessary to appoint the Ministry of Social Security and Labour together with the Ministry of Transport and Communications to prepare the sector-specific health and safety at work legal acts and enact them as model for road transport sector. The State institutions must consult employers and publish literature on concrete sector-specific requirements. Thus alongside establishment of standards the State must also provide the real legal and social help for the road transport sector employers having more than 50 000 employees in Lithuania and share the responsibility of implementation of health and safety at work standards in practice.
