OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY, PROTECTION AND LABOR SAFETY OF THE EMPLOYEE AS A PARTY OF LABOR RELATIONS IN MODERN CONDITIONS: ISSUES OF TERMINOLOGICAL DEFINITION AND CONSOLIDATION

Abstract

Based on the analysis of the scientific views of
scientists, pays attention to the issues of terminological definition of the concepts of "labor
protection", "occupational safety" and "occupational
safety" both in the theoretical aspect and in the
legislative framework. Emphasis is placed on the
problem of the actual absence of a definition of the
term "labor safety" in domestic legislation and
suggests ways to solve the issue in this area. The
author proposes to add to the draft domestic
regulatory legal acts separate articles on the
regulation of labor safety rules in the post-war period,
including in the deoccupied territories. It is also
proposed that the legislator set the goal of labor safety
as minimizing risks to the life and health of workers,
the impact of dangerous and harmful factors, etc.
Attention is focused on the need to systematize and
codify national legislation in accordance with the
norms of European legislation, in modern conditions
of digitalization. Separate attention is paid to the need
to introduce elements of compliance control in the
field of labor protection and safety. The conclusion is
made about the need to consolidate a holistic
approach to the safety of workers through the
establishment of the basic principles and values of
such safety. And also that the primary task now is to
determine and consolidate these and other important
points in a single unified regulatory legal act with
mechanisms and conditions for ensuring the safety of workers in the post-war period.
