IMPERATIV SIGURNOSTI NA RADU I ZAŠTITE ZDRAVLJA KAO PREDUVJETA USPJEŠNOG POSLOVANJA, KROZ PRIZMU NOVIH ZAKONSKIH RJEŠENJA U FEDERACIJI BOSNE I HERCEGOVINE
THE IMPERATIVE OF WORKPLACE SAFETY AND HEALTH PROTECTION AS A PRECONDITION FOR SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS THROUGH THE PRISM OF NEW LEGAL SOLUTIONS IN THE FEDERATION OF BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA

Summary/Abstract: It is a recognized fact that health protection and occupational safety, as fundamental human labor rights, are guaranteed by the European Convention on Human Rights and the national constitution of the home country. In the context of Bosnia and Herzegovina, specifically one of its administrative units – the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina (the focus here), it is prescribed that "the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina ensures the application of the highest level of internationally recognized rights and freedoms, particularly ensuring the implementation of ratified international conventions, including the International Labour Organization Convention No. 155 on occupational safety and health (1981)." Health and safety protection, as the basic right of workers and the necessary mechanisms for its realization, in Bosnia and Herzegovina (hereinafter: BiH) are regulated by laws, sub-legal acts, norms, and standards, collective agreements, and employment contracts. This also applies to its administrative-constituent parts, specifically with the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, which in 2020 enacted a new Law on Occupational Safety and Health, aligning with European principles and regulatory practices.The legislative provisions in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina regarding occupational safety and health have been enacted and come into force; however, a particular challenge lies in the implementation of these regulations, considering the obligations of employers, workers, and control mechanisms, with a specific emphasis on the consequences faced by employers and workers in case of non-application of occupational safety and health measures.
