El tratamiento por la OIT de la protección de los trabajadores frente a los peligros derivados del trabajo a lo largo de sus cien años de historia

Abstract

The main objective of this investigation is to highlight, from a historical point of view how the ILO has addressed the serious and evident problem of wage labor, since its origins to nowadays, which inevitably is dangerous towards both the life and health of the workers. Due to this, we will analyze the regulatory actions developed by this Organization on health and safety in the workplace, as well as any other complementary actions in favor of this regard. First of all, we will try to identify the most outstanding benchmarks and the conceptual and material aspects that have been fundamentally influenced and how these have developed. Secondly, we will present the main future challenges and trend lines of the ILO in the protection of the workers worldwide against dangers resulting from jobs in constant evolution.
