THEORETICAL-LEGAL ANALYSIS OF THE MECHANISM OF NATIONAL LEGAL PROTECTION OF LABOR SAFETY
The article analyzes the specifics and significance of the mechanism of national legal support for labor protection. Its importance is outlined and the role in the legal regulation of labor protection is characterized. On the basis of theoretical analysis, a list of elements of the national mechanism of legal protection of labor protection is derived. The author concludes that the mechanism of legal security depends not only on the state and the law, but also on the behavior of the legal entities themselves. It is this feature that determines the difference between the mechanism of legal regulation and the mechanism of legal support. It is established that the international and national mechanisms of legal protection of labor differ in the level of detail, where the national mechanism of legal security is a coherent and well-established system, which extends its operation to a clearly defined territory and regulates through the use of legal means and methods, the establishment of legal rules and application legal liability for their violation or non-observance, public relations between the subjects of labor protection in order to ensure the employee's rights to life, health I and safe working conditions and regulate the behavior of the employer to provide guarantees of these rights. In addition, there is a distinction between sanction and legal liability, where the first is understood as the means of coercive influence applied in the event of non-compliance or improper performance of an obligation. That is, the sanction is already a consequence of recognizing the need to apply legal liability, so it would be more appropriate to use this particular formulation. At the same time, the author is of the opinion that legal liability cannot be called a mandatory element of legal security, since it occurs only in exceptional moments of violation of rights or non-compliance with prohibitions. The lawfulness of acts of direct realization of rights and obligations, in turn, excludes the possibility of its application.
