Legal protection for occupational safety and health (OHS) is a fundamental right of every worker and is also a company's obligation to create safe, healthy, and productive working conditions. The implementation of OHS is increasingly important due to the continued occurrence of workplace accidents, which demonstrate the need to strengthen the labor protection system. PT.
