Abstract

The article focuses on analyzing the legal system governing occupational health and safety in Vietnam's construction industry during the 2021 - 2025 period, with a primary emphasis on the compatibility between legal theory and practical application. By employing document research and normative analysis methodologies, the study evaluates the efficacy of the Law on Occupational Safety and Health 2015 alongside the current system of sub-law documents. The article highlights the fundamental requirements for perfecting labour legislation regarding occupational safety and health. On this basis, the author proposes solutions to refine the law and enhance synchronization between the Law on Occupational Safety and Health and specialized legislations to ensure the optimal protection of workers' rights.
