<![CDATA[ This study aims to analyze the implementation of legal protection for employees experiencing workplace accidents at HCP Ltd. and to evaluate the extent to which the company fulfills workers’ rights in accordance with Indonesian labor regulations. The findings demonstrate that HCP Ltd. has formally implemented legal protection through employee participation in the BPJS Employment program, provision of medical treatment access, continuation of wage payments during recovery periods, and maintenance of employment relationships for injured workers. However, the implementation of such protection remains predominantly procedural and reactive, indicating a substantial gap between formal legal compliance and the substantive fulfillment of workers’ rights. Delays in Work Accident Insurance (JKK) claims, limited employee understanding of labor protection mechanisms, inconsistent occupational safety and health (OSH) supervision, and the absence of structured psychological rehabilitation reflect that worker protection has not yet fulfilled the due diligence standard required within contemporary labor governance. The novelty of this research lies in its empirical and micro-level examination of labor protection effectiveness within a specific corporate setting, thereby moving beyond conventional normative labor law studies that primarily emphasize statutory adequacy without critically assessing practical implementation. Theoretically, this study contributes to the development of labor law scholarship by strengthening the discourse on substantive legal protection, corporate due diligence obligations, and human-centered occupational safety governance. Practically, this research recommends strengthening internal OSH supervision, institutionalizing worker legal education, accelerating administrative claim mechanisms, and integrating psychological rehabilitation into post-accident recovery systems to ensure more effective, sustainable, and justice-oriented worker protection.]]>
