Every year the number of enterprises of both state and private ownership with harmful and dangerous working conditions grows. It should be noted that due to the deterioration of the financial condition and material and technical base of enterprises, which has been observed over the past almost two decades, working conditions in most of them have also deteriorated, as confirmed by the State Statistics Service of Ukraine. Underestimation and ignoring the factors required for appropriate safe working conditions cause irreparable damage to the health of workers, negatively affect the level of productivity. The problems of the working conditions, occupational safety, and the main reasons that contribute to the decline of these indicators in Ukraine are investigated. The state of labor and labor protection conditions in terms of workplace accidents in Ukraine are analyzed. It is established by analysis of the official sources that Ukraine holds a high position of occupational mortality among other countries. It is evident, based on statistical data, that the organizational shortcomings of the labor protection system are the main threat to the health and life of workers. A number of measures that the Government is going to take to overcome the high level of injuries and unsatisfactory state of labor conditions and labor protection at enterprises are analyzed. The morbidity of medical staff during the COVID-19 pandemic was analyzed and the need to include the infection with the COVID-19 into the “List of occupational diseases” was emphasized. It is proposed to adopt the practice of European countries, namely the innovative model of labor protection incentives, which contains many economic incentives that can positively affect the improvement of the workplace environment to reduce the level of injuries and ensure the proper state of labor protection.enoccupational safetyoccupational injuriesworking conditionsprofessional diseaseCOVID-19 pandemicBook chapter
