A comparative analysis of the occupational safety and health system in production systems

Abstract

The occupational safety and health system is an integral part of the organization of work and the execution of work processes. This system implies a set of technical and organized measures as well as activities aimed at achieving safety at work, prevention and elimination of hazards/ harmfulness that can cause occupational injuries, occupational and other diseases and the protection of health and work capacity of workers. Many stakeholders participate in the occupational safety and health system. The modern concept of occupational safety implies the active participation of all stakeholders, especially end-users/ workers in the creation and improvement of the occupational safety system. The lack of research dealing with the perceptions and attitudes of workers about the elements of the system of occupational safety and performance as indicators of the success of this system has initiated the research in two real production systems in the field of industry and mining. The analysis results can be an important source of information and a basis for the process of continuous improvement in the occupational safety system through the creation of measures to eliminate organizational and functional deficiencies.
