Abstract

In this reflection on the new occupational risk system in Colombia, the way in which it evolved is discussed, changing its context from professional to labor, encompassing the expansion of the definitions of work accident and occupational disease. In addition, the issue of the variation in the name occupational health program is addressed, which is now defined as a safety and health management system at work, bringing with it a totally different dynamic from the one previously raised by the extinct resolution, 1016 of 1989 regarding the constitution and the dynamics that this new norm requires. The foregoing must be fulfilled by the companies of the different economic sectors, addressing the new provisions of the disability qualification boards, their functions and characteristics, in the same way, the aspects of the guarantees offered by the state in the application of the regulations of labor risks, contributions to the system, obligations of employers and reports of accidents and labor inspectors, among others.
