This law remained in force for decades. However, legislation sometimes lags behind reality, such as technological developments and societal changes. Therefore, on 15 June 1989, the EU introduced the Framework Directive 89\/391 on safety and prevention, as a result of which the <strong>Safety Act<\/strong> and the <strong>ARAB <\/strong>were considered <strong>inadequate<\/strong>.<br \/>This new directive led to a complete reform of the legal framework, resulting in the current <strong>Welfare Act<\/strong>, published on <strong>18 September 1996<\/strong> as the <strong>successor <\/strong>to the <strong>Safety Act.<\/strong> This change also affected the ARAB, which was <strong>transformed into the &#8220;Codex<\/strong>.&#8221; Although the transfer of content from ARAB to the new Codex is largely complete, this transition is not yet complete.
