Abstract
This study examines the intersection of labour laws, corporate criminal liability and Shari'ah principles., with a view to ascertain how these frameworks protect human life at the workplaces. Particularly, this research explores the legal and moral obligations of corporate sector to ensure employee well-being and safety. Pakistan's labour laws and Shari'ah principles emphasize the importance of protecting human life, but gaps in legislation and enforcement hinder effective implementation. Corporate manslaughter, a crime that jeopardizes human life, is not adequately addressed in Pakistani law. This qualitative study involves a critical review of primary sources, including Quranic passages, Hadiths, and Pakistani labour laws, supplemented by secondary sources and comparative assessments with international standards. The findings highlight the need for clearer guidelines on corporate criminal liability, integration of Shari'ah principles into labour laws, and promotion of workplace safety and fairness. The study recommends incorporating Shari'ah principles into labour regulations, clarifying corporate criminal liability
