Based on the union leaders in Cambodia, those accidents and illnesses were seen and occurred at the construction sites such as brick kilns and minor construction enterprises which were not well equipped with the understanding and the system of occupational safety and health at the construction sites. Therefore, this paper is designed to examine whether the existing Cambodian legal framework associated with occupational safety and health for the construction sector comply with the international standards which are ICESCR, C155, C187, and C167 and then find out whether the existing Cambodian legal instruments are sufficient to punish or deter the construction companies for non- compliance or violation the regulations and laws concerning occupational safety and health.
