The data obtained were analyzed qualitatively.Based on the results of the study it was found that health workers get legal protection in the form of supervision and guidance, but the legal protection efforts provided there are still weaknesses because some of the rights of health workers have not been fulfilled. In connection with the provision of occupational safety and health guarantees to health workers there are still several obstacles, including; due to the complicated bureaucracy of the Regional Government, and the uneven distribution of PPE (Personal Protective Equipment). The government, in this case, has not been able to provide maximum legal protection and work health and safety insurance for health workers.
