THE ROLE OF EMPLOYERS IN ENSURING WORKING CONDITIONS CONDUCIVE TO THE HEALTH OF MEDICAL WORKERS

Abstract


The article examines the normative, conceptual and ethical aspects of employers' responsibility for creating jobs that reduce risks and ensure the health of medical workers. An overview of the normative documentation of the World Health Organization and the International Labor Organization is presented, data reflecting the morbidity of health workers due to a weak degree of protection in the workplace are presented. It is concluded that the high degree of not formal, but real responsibility of the employer for ensuring working conditions conducive to the health of medical workers has a positive effect on their loyalty, reduces staff turnover, ensures the effectiveness and sustainability of the organization in the medical services market.
