“The Labor Act requires clearly that the employer is under the obligation
to do what is necessary in order to safeguard the health of its employees
and their occupational safety, to meet the conditions in this respect and to
provide the necessary equipments.”
In case of death, disability, or occupational illness of an employee
resulting from the failure of the employer as to the duty to supervise or in
case the necessary safety measures are not taken in the workplace, civil,
penal and administrative liability will be imposed upon the employer.
