 Anayasal yaşam hakkı ve sağlık hakkının uzantısı olan iş sağlığı ve güvenliği kavramı çalışanlar açısından oldukça önemlidir. Çalışma yaşamındaki belirli risk faktörlerine karşı çalışanın sağlığının ve güvenliğinin korunması insani bir yaklaşımdır. Bu sebeplerle mevzuatta çeşitli düzenlemelere gidilmektedir. Çalışma hayatında çeşitli risklerin karşısında çeşitli tedbirler yer almaktadır. Bu tedbirler devlet, işçi ve işveren üzerinde sorumluluk yaratır. İşveren çalışanın kişiliğini korumak zorundadır. Bunun yanında İş Sağlığı ve Güvenliği tedbirleri çerçevesinde de çeşitli yükümlülükleri doğmaktadır. İşveren bu yükümlülüğünü yerine getirirken bundan doğan masraflara kendisi katlanmalıdır. Bunları çalışanlara yansıtmamalıdır. Sağlık gözetimi borcu, işverenin yerine getirmekle yükümlü olduğu bir sorumluluğudur. Tehlikeli, az tehlikeli ve çok tehlikeli işlerde işe girerken veya iş değişikliği durumunda işçinin sağlık raporu alması gerekmektedir. Bunun yanı sıra bu tür işlerde periyodik sağlık muayenesi yapılması gereklidir. İşverenin bu sağlık gözetimi borcu iş kazası ve meslek hastalığını önleme konusunda oldukça faydalıdır. Çalışan işe girerken yapacağı işe uygun olup olmadığının belirlenmesi noktasında rapor hazırlanmaktadır. Bunun dışında çalışır vaziyette olduğu durumda da düzenli olarak yapılan muayenelerde çalışanın meslek hastalığına tutulma veya iş kazası geçirmesinde şüpheler bulunduğunda mahkemelerce celp edilerek gerekçelendirmede delil olarak dayanılabilecektir. Sadece emsal çalışan işçilere değil uzaktan çalışma modeliyle çalışan kişilerde de işverenin sağlık gözetim borcu ve iş sağlığı ve güvenliğinden kaynaklanan sorumluluğu doğmaktadır. İşveren bu tarz borçlarına uymazsa çeşitli yaptırımlarla karşı karşıya kalır. Özellikle bu borcun sonucunda iş kazası veya meslek hastalığı gibi sonuçlar varsa işverenin hukuki ve hatta cezai sorumluluğuna gidilebilecektir. Sağlık gözetimi borcuna uymayan işveren, eksik rapor varsa veya hiç rapor yoksa bu gibi durumlarda her bir çalışan için idari para cezası ödemek zorunda kalacaktır. Bunun yanında iş kazası durumunda işverenin cezai sorumluluğuna da gidilebilecektir.
