Sažetak

Occupational exposure to asbestos is the subject of the recently passed legislation in the Republic of Croatia. This legislation is in direct connection with social security, health insurance and old age security. It comprises the Compensation Act for Workers Exposed to Asbestos, the Act on Mandatory Health Monitoring of Workers Exposed to Asbestos, and the Act on Old Age Pension for Workers Exposed to Asbestos. Croatia has ratified the Asbestos Convention no. 162 (1986).
Legal acts on occupational safety are not sufficient to cover all situations that may arise in the production process and all workers in direct contact with asbestos.
The new acts set out the details of specific health insurance, health monitoring and the retirement conditions for workers exposed to asbestos in the workplace. The paper deals with these issues.
