Abstract: One of the contingencies that influences the most workers and that materializes itself as a flagellum that has reduced the labor population is accidents at work. When establishing a firm, an operation, or an establishment, the employer assumes directly the economic risks and contingencies that come with these activities and so it is extremely important to fulfill the established norms on security, hygiene, and work conditions. On this basis, it is important to analyze the established legal norms in Venezuela legal ordering with respect to the conditions related to the norms of hygiene and industrial security, the contents of the laws of the Social Security System, the Law of Prevention, Conditions and Environment at Work, and the Law of Labor.
