The Occupational Disease Regulatory Framework

The Occupational Disease Regulatory Framework is a system of laws and guidelines designed to protect workers from health issues caused by their jobs. It defines what constitutes an occupational disease, outlines the responsibilities of employers, and details workers' rights to report illnesses and seek compensation. This framework ensures that employees have access to medical care and financial support if they develop health problems related to their work environment, promoting safer workplaces and accountability for employers while encouraging proper monitoring of workplace conditions.
