Parningotan Malau, Prof. Dr. Alvi Syahrin

Abstract
This work is aimed at exploring, formulating and designing an equitable legal framework for guaranteeing safety and health work for labour at workplace. This is caused by so many problems in protecting the labour‘s interest, particularly in safety and health work as a part of fundamental human rights. Those problems are related to normative problems, such as unclear terminologies, weak sanction, vague corporate responsibility, as well as practical issues, such as tension between economic interests and fundamental human rights, the rise of work accidents, occupational diseases, and so forth. Therefore, this work will focus on the importance of the law reform in order to create and strengthen protection for safety and health work for labour at workplace. To visualize those objectives, it will employ the normative legal research, by using statute and case approaches. All data will be collected based on extensive and intensive literature review. At the end, this work will elaborate and design the ideal model of legal framework in protecting safety and health work for labour through embodying justice, fundamental human rights and proportional principles. The reform will be focused on completing the appropriate terminologies, strengthening the sanctions, and visualizing the boundaries of corporate criminal responsibility.
