Abstrak

This study examines the legal construction of corporate liability in Indonesia for chronic occupational diseases with long latency periods, particularly those related to exposure to industrial chemicals. The analysis shows that the Indonesian legal system affirms corporate liability not only in civil law through compensation mechanisms, but also in criminal law with the recognition of corporations as legal entities in the new Criminal Code. The principle of causality and the complex burden of proof are balanced by the application of strict liability, reversal of the burden of proof, and normative corporate obligations as stipulated in the Civil Code, the Manpower Act, the Health Act, the Environmental Act, and Social Security Agency regulations. The effectiveness of legal remedies is reflected in the combination of social security, civil lawsuits, and administrative sanctions that not only provide adequate compensation for victims but also create a deterrent effect for companies. The latest regulations strengthen the position of workers through OSH standards and more stringent legal instruments, bringing the Indonesian legal system closer to the goal of substantive justice in occupational health protection.
