Over time, the Republic of Moldova has gone through several stages of development and reform of the Occupational Health and Safety System. This article aimed to assess the complex legal and regulatory framework in the field of occupational health and safety in the Republic of Moldova. Currently, the Republic of Moldova has ratified 43 conventions and 1 protocol, namely - 8 out of 8 fundamental conventions, 4 out of 4 governing conventions (priority) and 31 technical conventions. Over the years, 2 conventions have been denounced. At the beginning of 2021, the Moldavian parliament adopted the International Labour Organization (ILO) Convention No.161 (1985) on occupational health services. The legal and regulatory framework in occupational safety and health is good enough, but major problems are identified in their implementation.
