Legal And Criminal Liability Arising From Work Accidents In The Context Of The Primary Employer And Sub-employer Relationship

An accident is typically defined as the harm or damage caused to a person, object, or vehicle due to an involuntary or unforeseen event. Work accidents bring significant losses primarily to the employee, followed by the employer and society, and they often have enduring effects on the injured parties and their families. With the advancement of industrialization and technology, various work groups have emerged, leading to a diversity of work accidents. The International Labor Organization (“ILO”) defines work accidents as unexpected and unplanned events resulting in specific damage or injury. Despite the existence of sufficient regulations on work health and safety in our legal framework, a considerable number of work accidents, past and present, stem from inadequate training and supervision.
