Realization of the constitutional right to a favorable environment in labor relations

The constitutional right to environmental protection has an intersectoral character. The labor legislation does not pay enough attention to environmental issues. In this regard, a change in the approach to environmental problems in the process of labor activity and in the framework of social partnership between workers, employers and the state is required. The opinion that it is necessary to regulate relations in the world of work related to the environment within the framework of the institution of social partnership is supported. Legal regulation of relations between the employee and the employer in the field of environmental protection should be carried out in two directions. Firstly, in order to provide the employer with labor protection requirements in terms of compliance with environmental regulations. Secondly, from the point of view of the employee fulfilling the internal labor regulations, which also relate to environmental safety requirements. It is concluded that it is necessary to amend Art. 21 and 22 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation in terms of securing the duties of the employee and the employer in the field of environmental protection at the workplace and in the labor process.
