The legal liability in cases of workplace accidents

Abstract

The article addresses a real and current issue with multiple implications both in the field of labor relations and in the social sphere, namely workplace accidents, placed in the context of the field to which the security and health of employees at work belong. The primary role of legal norms regarding occupational health and safety is to prevent workplace accidents, and legal practice has shown that most of the time, a workplace accident occurs due to ignorance, noncompliance, or failure to apply these norms. Thus, it is normal that, in this area as well, legal liability is incurred when these norms are violated. The research promotes a series of modern solutions, both legally and organizationally, by presenting solutions and procedures to prevent workplace accidents and reduce the consequences they may cause.
