¿Cómo se constituye y registra el Comité de Seguridad y Salud en el Trabajo?

Obligations for Employers with 20 or More Workers

Establishing a Safety and Health Committee

• Employers with 20 or more workers must establish a Safety and Health Committee, consisting of an equal number of representatives from both employees and employers. The committee should have no fewer than four members and no more than twelve members.

• For employers with over 100 workers, the minimum number of committee members is increased to six, adding at least two additional members for every extra 100 workers, up to a maximum of twelve.

Registration Requirements

• Employers are required to declare the existence of the Safety and Health Committee in the electronic payroll registry (T register). This involves accessing the SUNAT portal, selecting "online operations," then navigating to "my procedures and inquiries." Necessary data includes RUC, user ID, and password.

• After logging in, employers must follow this path: Companies > My RUC > Other Registries > T Register > Employer Registration. They will need to select the modification option and answer questions regarding the Safety and Health Committee before saving their changes.

Consequences of Non-compliance

• Failing to create the mandated Safety and Health Committee is considered a serious infraction that may lead to sanctions against the employer. It emphasizes that commitment and participation are crucial for enhancing workplace safety and health standards.
