Abstract

This paper analyzes the problem of the legal configuration of the right to health at work from the perspective of the regulatory system for the prevention of occupational hazards. Specifically, the different normative assumptions that characterize the right to health at work are critically analyzed. This right is interpreted within a specialized area of our legal system. In this regulatory sector there are different special rules, which are deployed in a complex regulatory framework. This is characterized by an important regulatory development. This study aims to reflect on the main application problems of the right to health at work from a doctrinal and jurisprudential perspective. It is intended to clarify some conflictive situations present in our legal system, whose treatment conditions the legal protection of the right to health at work.
