Upholding Democracy through Constitutional Courts: A Comparative Study of Indonesia and Germany

Abstract

Industrial accidents continue to pose a major challenge in Indonesia, significantly impacting workers' health, safety, and welfare. This study critically analyzes the current legal frameworks designed to protect workers affected by industrial accidents, identifying notable gaps and weaknesses in both legislation and enforcement. Through a comparative approach that incorporates international best practices, the research highlights the urgent need for stronger regulatory policies, enhanced workplace safety standards, and increased accountability for employers. The findings also stress the importance of comprehensive education programs for workers and robust government oversight to ensure these legal protections are effectively applied. By addressing these issues, the study argues that improving legal safeguards is essential not only for protecting workers’ rights but also for fostering sustainable industrial development and promoting social justice across Indonesia’s labor sector.
