worker protection
Employee safety measures
Worker protection refers to laws, regulations, and practices that safeguard employees from workplace hazards, exploitation, and unfair treatment.
This includes safety standards, limits on working hours, minimum wage requirements, and protections against discrimination or wrongful termination.
The new legislation strengthened worker protection in the gig economy.
The term often appears in policy debates about labor rights and corporate responsibility.
