EUROPEAN STANDARDS OF LABOUR ORGANIZATION

Abstract

Problem setting. Gradually, the issue of organization and protection of human labour goes beyond each state that contributed to its international extension. That is why there is a need to study the universal, international, and, in our case, the European standards in the labour organization field. Such standarts formalized and represented in some of the most important international legal acts and charters of international organizations.

Target of research. The aim of the study is to define, to set and to analyze basic European standards of labour organizations, to appraise its significance and to define the features of its consolidation and implementation.

Article's main body. The article considered the feature of modern legal regulation and labour organization at both European and national level. Comparative legal analysis of labour organization standards in international legal documents has been conducted. Also the article studied all the main legal documents that enshrine European standards of labour organization and its impact on national policy and legislation of Ukraine. The author determined the most important features that are inherent to structural level of the labour organization standards system in the member states of the European Union and its possible implementation in Ukraine.

Conclusions and prospects for the development. Consequently, European labour organization standards allow ensuring the organization of labour at high level. However, each state should care about resolving this issue by its own, and therefore we should intensify the activity concerning with the harmonization of the requirements of laws and regulations in accordance with EU standards. The adoption of modern national legislation on the work organization and industrial safety, its harmonization with relevant laws and standards of the European Union is a significant step forward but not sufficient to achieve the effective activity of work organization standards system at the national level.
