Abstract : The Cameroonian Labour Code is instrumental in the protection of employees’ rights in an enterprise, but none of these rights is as important as the right to health. Unfortunately, despite the importance accorded to employees’ right to health, the Code does not spell out what therefore would amount to this right. Thus, should an employee encounters an accident out of the premises of the enterprise and or on his way to spend a recognise event with family, what says the law as to the definition of such a situation. It will not amount to work place accident or professional illness, then how does the law qualify such a case? This therefore leaves the employers to toast employees as toys since there is no definition to such situations. Thus, the preaching of the Code is not what takes place in the field and on daily bases; employees because of the conduct of the employers to the protection of their rights dismiss themselves from work.
