연대를 통한 사회적 안전의 실현 ― 산업안전보건 법제를 중심으로 ―

In today's society, in that security is a value required by all subjects and in all areas, it is ultimately related to the concept of solidarity that ‘develops responsibility for others and accepts them’. In this case, security and solidarity form a mutually virtuous cycle that supports each other, which can be interpreted as meaning that the restoration of solidarity is the guarantee of security. As the restoration of solidarity must be a prerequisite for ensuring security, today's discussion of security in terms of solidarity is focused on social rights, such as labor and education, rather than on freedom of life and body. The concept of social security emerged against this background, and its main purpose is to ensure the minimum level of survival for all through the resolution of poverty, a social risk factor. One of the issues discussed as social security is the guarantee of occupational security and health. It can be said that poverty, which is a risk factor for all social problems, is embodied in the realm of work. As labor is the main area of discussion, the roles of employers, workers, and the state are required to form solidarity for worker security. The solidarity required to ensure occupational security and health of workers within individual sovereign countries will develop mainly around the relationship between employers and workers. In this process, the state will intervene supplementally rather than appearing entirely, and will play a role in coordinating and reconciling the relationship between employers and workers. However, in the European Union, which is an association between countries, the state also takes an all-out effort to form solidarity to form social security. Rather, the European Union acts as a bridge to form solidarity among all members of the European Union, leading to solidarity between countries. Assurance of security through solidarity in the European Union unit can be said to be the realization of European integration carried out in the social aspect in that it removes the element of social unrest. Therefore, the degree of occupational security and health protection required to ensure social security should be maintained and improved at the same level anywhere in Europe. And for this same level of protection to be possible, the restoration of solidarity must be a prerequisite.
