LEGAL PROTECTION OF OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH OF EMPLOYEES UNDER LAW NO. 1 OF 1970 CONCERNING SAFETY
Abstract
This research aims to examine the legal protection of occupational safety and health (OSH) for workers in Indonesia based on Law No. 1 of 1970 concerning Work Safety and to analyze the dispute resolution mechanisms in the event of work accidents. Legal protection for occupational safety and health (K3) is a crucial element in employment, particularly in Indonesia. Law No. 1 of 1970 concerning Occupational Safety serves as the legal basis governing companies' obligations to create a safe and healthy work environment for their workforce. Therefore, companies in Indonesia must comply with these regulations to protect their workforce from the risks of accidents and illnesses arising from work. The method used in this study is normative juridical with statutory and conceptual approaches. The results show that legal protection for OSH has not been optimal due to many companies failing to fulfill their legal obligations, such as providing personal protective equipment (PPE), forming OSH committees (P2K3), and conducting regular safety training. Furthermore, dispute resolution in work accident cases faces several challenges, such as workers' lack of awareness of their rights and complex legal procedures. Therefore, the state must strengthen labor supervision, enforce stricter legal sanctions, and improve access to legal assistance for workers.
