The covid19 virus has caused the health system to collapse in different parts of the country, generating a series of problems for citizens. However, the State established a series of measures for economic reactivation in the country. Given this, we have appreciated that in recent months there have been a series of problems that directly affect workers who belong to companies in the sectors that have been reactivated, one of these problems being related to occupational risk, specifically in those cases in which the worker becomes infected with the covid19 virus, as a result of the fulfillment of their work. According to specialized doctrine, it has been indicated that the employer, as the exclusive organizer of the source of danger that constitutes the company, holds the position of guarantor vis-à-vis his dependents (workers in a dependent relationship) for the occupational risks emanating from the development of the assigned tasks, within the framework of the employment contract. However, we see that article 168 ° -A of our penal code that establishes the crime of risk in the workplace is not adequate to the latest events sent this year as a result of the pandemic. This is because we are facing an unprecedented occupational risk (COVID-19). Taking into account the aforementioned, the objective of this investigation is the modification of article 168 ° -A, referring to the Attack against the conditions of safety and health at work, in order to penalize the employer who omits the occupational risks generated by the covid19 within the workplace, because it is necessary to redefine and adapt the “permitted risk” to the new reality in which we find ourselves. This will prevent workers from facing any serious and imminent danger to them.
