ABSTRACT

Labour protection is an ambiguous term. In theory, the denition of labour protection used in common language is different from that of labour protection used in the language of law.

In general usage, labour protection is the entirety of the rules of law, research, and both organisational and technical resources, and is for the protection of workers’ rights, and their lives and health, from dangerous and harmful factors in a work environment. Labour protection also aims to create optimal work conditions in terms of ergonomics, physiology, and the psychology of work.
