Abstract Introduction The protection of employees against professional risks is fundamental in the employment relationship. The Law No. 18-12 enacted on December 29, 2014, governs compensation for work-related accidents and extends its provisions to cover occupational illnesses, constitutes a reference in Moroccan legislation. The objective of this study is to evaluate the relevance of Law 18.12 in ensuring worker protection, focusing on insurance and compensation procedures. Materials and methods Analysis of the provisions of Law 18.12, regarding workers’ compensation for work accidents and occupational illnesses. Results Taking out insurance against work accidents is enforced, however insurance against occupational diseases remains an optional measure. Compensation for both work accidents and occupational illnesses is provided through private insurance entities. Discussion Law 18.12 signifies significant progress in safeguarding Moroccan laborers. However, to align with current workplace demands and Morocco’s industrial advancements, revisions are imperative. Streamlining declaration and compensation procedures, enforcing mandatory insurance against occupational diseases, and broadening the list of recognized occupational diseases to encompass emerging risks are imperative. Conclusion The expected improvements in compensation for work accidents and occupational diseases can only be efficient within the framework of management by a national institution similar to the Tunisian model (the national social security fund).
