Sources of legal rule to protect the worker from work injuries in the Jordanian social security law

Abstract EN

The insurance of workers from work injuries and occupational diseases is one of the most important aspects enjoyed by the workers at the national and international levels.

Where a set of rights were approved to the worker in case of injury during work or because of the work itself or being affected with a disease as a result of his duties under the work contract with his employer.

As a result of the multiple risks or diseases affecting the worker during his or her work, or due to their association with technology, it is clear that these dangers cannot be covered by one or two legal sources, which calls for the adoption of multiple legal sources to protect the worker from work injuries and occupational diseases.

This calls for the identification of legal sources that protect the worker starting from domestic legislation up to the international organization of protections.
