CHALLENGES IN THE APPLICATION OF THE LAW ON SAFETY AT WORK IN FBiH.

Occupational safety is a very important factor in the process of creating a safe work environment. The benefits employers, employees and even the state as a whole can reap greatly depend on the way occupational safety is organized and implemented. This paper aims to make a general analysis of the condition of safety at work in Bosnia and Herzegovina, with a special emphasis on the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The starting point of this paper is the fact that the current law on occupational safety was passed less than two years ago and certain doubts are sprouting up regarding its implementation. This is why there is a need for a deeper and more comprehensive analysis of existing legal situations, problems in implementation, and proposals that could improve or otherwise prove helpful in gaining a clearer understanding of the rights, obligations, and responsibilities of all parties involved, those being the state, employers, and employees. The initial hypothesis of the paper is that the current law on occupational safety, with all its vagueness, represents a good basis for improving the position and rights of employees. The descriptive method was used in the paper, along with a study of available literature, both domestic and foreign. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
