Abstract


Occupational safety and health is one of the main goals, as well as challenges, for employers, employees and the state. Although this issue is primarily viewed in the context of labor protection of employees, their protection in the field of social security should not be neglected. This aspect of employee protection is analyzed in the scientific and professional literature, but to a much lesser extent than labor law regulations.

This paper analyzes the legal framework in Serbia that regulate the social and legal protection of employees against workplace injuries and occupational diseases. In addition to analyzing the existing legal solutions, we provide a critical review and give recommendations for their improvement.
