Every employee in the of Montenegro enjoys certain employment rights. Among others, this includes the rights to earnings, safety at work, health care, personal integrity protection, dignity of personality, rights due to temporary illnesses due to illness, loss of working ability, age and material compensation due to temporary hindrance. In this regard, special rights are enjoyed by employed women during pregnancy and childbirth, then minors who are employed and persons with disabilities. Also, employees in the of Montenegro are entitled to contributions for compulsory social security, which provide funds for the financing of compulsory social insurance, which includes pension and disability insurance, health insurance and insurance in the case of temporary unemployment. Unfortunately, practice proves that these workers' rights are often ignored. Therefore, the notion of work on the black, which is actually a form of exploitation of labor, is created, works with a compensation below the envisaged minimum, without contribution for compulsory social security. From that, problems arise, which will be dealt with separately in this paper, relating to the safety of workers in black and increasingly often unfortunate cases, with a mortal epilogue for working people.

Arterial hypertension is widespread in the population of workers. Stress at work has a significant impact on the emergence of many psychosomatic diseases including arterial hypertension. The aim of this research is to show the influence of professional stress on the occurrence of arterial hypertension, its complications and the permanent working ability of exposed workers in construction. The survey covered 1900 construction workers. The standardized questionnaire has assessed the level of stress and professional stressors in their workplaces. The survey group consisted of 1350 workers whose level of total professional stress index (OSI) was over 60, and a control group of 550 workers with an OSI level below 60. The prevalence of arterial hypertension and its complications is statistically significantly more frequent in the examined than in the control group.  In the investigated group, a statistically significant number of workers were registered, who, due to their complete loss of working ability, were sent to the disability commission. With an increase in OSI values above 71, the number of workers with complete loss of working capacity is significantly increased in relation to the number of workers who are capable of working. Professional stress is a significant factor that affects the occurrence of arterial hypertension, its complications on vital organs, which lead to a complete permanent loss of working ability of exposed workers in construction.
