UOCRA continuously promoted that official regulations aimed at life care and the health of building workers were issued. Today we can say that, in Argentina, we have an extensive legal framework mandatory for all building workers. In order these standards can be known, UOCRA and the Department of Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) published them together in an edition entitled "Argentina Occupational Health and Safety Regulations in the Building Industry".
Among other activities that UOCRA and the Department of Health and Safety at Work are being carried out in various regions of the country, includes the "National Survey on the Perception of Occupational Diseases in Building Workers", and since there is a wealth of available information, it was made a booklet to make known the first results, in a publication of the Department of Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) called "Professional Diseases - Fact Sheets" that tackles the problem of Occupational Disease in various Building activities to assist in its prevention.
