Colombia: New Ministry of Labour Guidelines on PESV, SG-SST and Teleworker Reporting

The Ministry of Labour has issued new guidelines regarding three reporting obligations for employers: the self-management report of the Strategic Road Safety Plan (PESV) for companies classified under “Misionalidad 2”; the self-assessment of the Occupational Health and Safety Management System (SG-SST); and the registration of teleworkers.

These guidelines establish specific deadlines, reporting channels and practical actions that companies should consider to ensure timely compliance with the Ministry’s requirements.

 

PESV Self-Management Reporting for Companies Subject to “Misionalidad 2”

Through Circular 0034 of March 30, 2026, the Ministry of Labour informed that public or private companies whose main activity is not land motor transport, but which fall within the category referred to as “Misionalidad 2” and are required to design and implement a Strategic Road Safety Plan (PESV), must submit the corresponding PESV self-management report through the form enabled by the Ministry.

For the 2025 reporting period, the Ministry established a special filing deadline of May 30, 2026.

For subsequent years, the report must be submitted before January 31 of each year, within the ordinary deadlines established under the applicable regulations, according to the company’s tax identification number (NIT).

Failure to timely submit the PESV self-management report may result in the sanctions established by law. Verification of the design and implementation of the PESV may be conducted by the Superintendence of Transport, the competent transit authorities, or the Ministry of Labour, within the scope of their respective powers.

 

Mandatory Registration of the SG-SST Self-Assessment

Through Circular 0027 of 2026, the Ministry of Labour informed that, for 2026, the registration of the 2025 self-assessment and the corresponding improvement plan must be completed through the application enabled on the website of the Occupational Risks Fund, no later than July 31, 2026.

In relation to the SG-SST, all employers must conduct the annual self-assessment of minimum standards. Based on that self-assessment, they must prepare an improvement plan and, in December 2026, prepare the annual SG-SST plan that will begin implementation on January 1, 2027.

The self-assessment and improvement plan must also be submitted to the Occupational Risk Administrator (ARL) for review, analysis, comments and recommendations.

 

Registration of Teleworkers

The Ministry of Labour has enabled the official platform for the registration of teleworkers, in order to centralize information on employees working under the telework modality, facilitate supervision by labour authorities and strengthen compliance with occupational health and safety obligations.

This obligation is framed within Article 2.2.1.5.23 of Decree 1227 of July 18, 2022. Companies with teleworkers should therefore complete the corresponding report through the official platform enabled by the Ministry.

 

Practical Considerations for Employers

In light of these new Ministry guidelines, employers should first verify whether they are required to have a Strategic Road Safety Plan and review the current status of such plan, including its proper coordination with the SG-SST.

Companies subject to the PESV obligation should submit the 2025 self-management report through the Ministry’s enabled channel by May 30, 2026, and establish an internal calendar to ensure compliance with future annual reporting deadlines based on the last digit of the company’s NIT, excluding the verification digit.

Employers should also complete the 2025 SG-SST minimum standards self-assessment report by July 31, 2026, through the Ministry’s enabled platform, and register all teleworkers through the official teleworker registration platform.

 

Conclusions

The Ministry of Labour’s latest guidelines reinforce the importance of timely and properly documented compliance with occupational health and safety, road safety and telework-related obligations. Employers should verify the applicability of each reporting duty, review the status of their internal compliance systems and ensure that the corresponding filings are completed within the deadlines established by the Ministry. Early internal planning will be key to avoiding omissions, late filings and potential sanctions under the applicable legal framework.
