Purpose: of this paper is to propose modernisation activities, including the improvement of machines and devices that will increase work safety during the epidemic state for the workplace of an injection moulding machine operator in a selected manufacturing company. Design/methodology/approach: In the work brief analyses of a production line and a workplace of an injection moulding machine operator were carried out. Then the threats that occur at the analysed workplace were identified. The risk assessment was done using three methods: matrix according to the PN-N-18002:2011 standard, Risk Score and PHA. Findings: The results of the occupational risk assessment obtained by the three assessment methods were similar and gave similar results. The greatest and unacceptable risk has occurred for the threat of SARS-CoV-2 virus infection. Therefore, the following modernisation solutions were proposed: the introduction of mandatory epidemiological questionnaires, online training for company employees, the use of a three-axis robot, replacement of traditional disinfection dispensers with automatic ones. Practical implications: The results of re-assessing the occupational risk after introducing the proposed improvements showed that the occupational risk was significantly reduced – mainly to the low or very low levels. Originality/value: The proposed modernisation solutions at the workplace of an injection moulding machine operator can be used for each workplace and each epidemiological state.

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on personal and professional lives of people around the whole world. Numerous enterprises were forced to limit their activities. However, the employees of certain industries, performing work necessary for the normal functioning of the society, have been constantly exposed to epidemiological threats. The construction industry is an example of this. The ongoing threat of the pandemic could have had a significant impact on the workers’ behaviour and perceptions of safety. The work safety culture could have undergone such a change. The main purpose of the article was to determine whether the pandemic influenced the work safety culture in the construction industry. The methodological tool applied was a questionnaire addressed to people who directly supervised work on construction sites. The survey was conducted among 49 Polish enterprises operating in the Silesian Province. The results of the research indicate that the COVID-19 pandemic has caused changes in the work safety culture, most of which were positive. An analysis of the litera-ture on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the safety of workers indicates that publications in this area are primarily aimed at representatives of healthcare, while there are few publications on changes in the area of health and safety in the construction industry. This paper is an attempt to fill this research gap.

Purpose: The aim of the paper is to analyze relations between the implementation of industry management systems in European Union countries. Design/methodology/approach: Critical literature analysis. Analysis of statistic data about: quality management system (ISO 9001:2015), environmental management system (ISO 14001:2015) and occupational health and safety management system (ISO 45001:2018) in European Union countries. Findings: The publication focuses on the analysis of quantitative relations between the industry standards that make up the integrated management system. The analysis of data concerning the number of ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, ISO 27001:2013, ISO 22000:2018 and ISO 45001:2018 certificates implemented in the European Union countries allows to conclude that there are correlations between the number of implemented particular standards. In particular, the presence of a standard concerning the quality management system ISO 9001 is positively correlated with all other analyzed certified management systems. The results of the analysis support the H1 hypothesis, which says: the presence of other industry management systems is positively correlated with the presence of ISO 9001:2015 quality management system in organizations. Originality/value: In the paper we found that in most European Union countries, implementation of particular standards, especially ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001, is strongly correlated.

Purpose: Algorithm development for a measures phased expert assessment to reduce production risk at an industrial enterprise to adapt the expert method to the conditions for specific problem solving. Design/methodology/approach: To develop an algorithm for making management decisions, a step-by-step solution process was used. If the problem is solved under conditions of complete or partial uncertainty, an expert method of estimation was applied. In the mathematical model of management decision-making used criterion approach. At the same time, the methods of Sevij, Wald, and Hurwitz are considered to determine the criterion for choosing management decisions. Findings: A phased expert assessment of measures that reduce production risk at an industrial enterprise with the introduction of weighting factors in specified criteria is proposed. The expediency of applying the method of expert assessments and the Hurwitz criterion when planning measures to reduce industrial injuries is justified, since this approach links the preventive measures in the field of labour protection with the results of risk assessment and reduces subjectivity in making management decisions. Research limitations/implications: The proposed algorithm for expert assessment of measures to reduce production risk is universal for industrial enterprises. Practical implications: An algorithm has been developed to substantiate managerial decisions to reduce the production risks of the occurrence of traumatic events when planning preventive measures, which involves applying criteria for selecting measures based on the method of expert assessments and applying the Gurwitz criterion. Originality/value: Developed a consistent model of industrial risk management, which is based on a component method of assessing the risk of traumatic events and a mathematical model of management decisions. This model differs from the existing ones, taking into account all available risk-relevant information of the enterprise, stimulates preventive activity, and allows establishing the dependence of the level of industrial risk on the validity of measures on occupational safety and reducing the influence of the subjective component of expert judgments.

Design/methodology/approach: The analysis of accidents at work in a selected production company includes the period from the beginning of 2016 to half of the 2018 year using the method based on the TOH model. This method determines three factors of accident causes: technical, organizational and human (TOH). Findings: In the paper, the workplaces analysis taking into account activities, type of work, working position and accidents at work is presented. The analysis of work accidents includes the age group, work experience etc. The TOH model determines causes related to accidental events. Research limitations/implications: The accidents at work are the result of a low or undesirable safety culture. Because of that, the safety culture should be constantly developed, maintained and continuously improved. Originality/value: Many methods and procedures can be used to investigate accidents at work. The TOH model is one of them. It determines the direct and indirect causes of accidents. Based on them, the corrective actions can be proposed and implemented.

Purpose: To develop a mathematical model for predicting the workplace environmental physical factors values. Design/methodology/approach: Experimental measurements of the harmful and dangerous physical factors values of workplace environmental were carried out using special certified equipments. For each physical factor, 200 measurements were carried out. The workplace choice is justified by the employees’ survey and specialists’ expert evaluation results. Prediction methods that can be used to predict the workplace environmental physical factors values have been analyzed analytically. Working conditions assessment was carried out in accordance with the classification of working conditions for workplace harmfulness and danger, which function in Ukraine. Findings: For a preliminary assessment of the impact of environmental physical factors on workers, it is proposed to use the strict ranking method. It has been established that the proposed mathematical models for predicting the workplace environmental physical factors values (noise, dust, vibration, relative humidity) have an accuracy of more than 90% and can be used for planning measures to working conditions improve. Research limitations/implications: The results of a study of modelling and forecasting the workplace environmental physical factors values at the enterprise for the manufacture of glass and glass products at workplaces of transportation, preparation and mixing of materials are shown. Mathematical models for four physical factors are presented: noise, dustiness of air, vibration, relative humidity. Practical implications: Mathematical models make it possible to predict the environmental physical factors values (noise, vibration, dust, humidity) taking into account the specifics of the production process, assess the hazard class and harmfulness of working conditions at workplaces and justify the measures at labour protection. Originality/value: For the first time proposed by the mathematical models for predict the environmental physical factors values (noise, vibration, dust, humidity) taking into account the specifics of the production process.

Purpose: Determination of such an interval of workplace environmental physical factors control, which would ensure high monitoring reliability and the minimum data collection and processing duration (or cost). Design/methodology/approach: To achieve the goal were applied: analysis and synthesis of known scientific results on the topic of research, statistical analysis, mathematical modelling. Statistical data for determining the interval of control was recorded at regular intervals. Findings: A methodology has been developed for determining the interval of workplace environmental physical factors values control. It is based on the identification of patterns of change in the physical factors values. The algorithm of workplace environmental physical factors values control is proposed, which helps to identify cases when the actual values of the factors exceed the limit values. The practical application of theoretical propositions showed that the correlation coefficient between the factual sample and the sample formed using the determined control interval is within 0.74…0.88, which satisfies the condition R > 0.5 as intended. Research limitations/implications: The mechanism for workplace environmental physical factors values monitoring was further developed on the basis of forecasting changes in the physical factors values and determining the duration of the excess of the factors values over the limit. In this study on stationary and conditional stationary processes was the focus. Practical implications: The use of the algorithm that is based on the methodology for determining the interval of workplace environmental physical factors values control contributes to more effective monitoring of working safety. Originality/value: For the first time justified by the choice of the control interval of workplace environmental physical factors values with acceptable accuracy of the forecast that allow to quickly establish working conditions hazard class.

The experience of economically developed countries proves that the quality of actions undertaken in the realm involving the management of the occupational health and safety may substantially contribute the attainment of higher OHS standards. A significant role in the improvement of OHS management quality is played among others by audit surveys of the management system of OHS which is viewed as a form of controlling tool. One of the first solutions of that type was applied in the mining industry in Poland, and they were based on the MERIT survey (Management Evaluation Regarding Itemized Tendencies). The mathematical model applied within the scope of that survey makes it possible to determine assessment indexes (final index WZBP and partial indexes WOPi). The results obtained from the survey carried out on a group of respondents – employees of departments of mining coal – were then used for the prediction of the assessment of the quality of actions undertaken in the area of OHS management (the linear discriminant function was applied as the prediction method).

Doświadczenia krajów rozwiniętych gospodarczo są dowodem na to, iż jakość działań podejmowanych w obszarze zarządzania bezpieczeństwem i higieną pracy może stanowić ważny element w procesie podnoszenia standardów bhp. Istotną rolę w tym zakresie spełniają m. in. badania audytowe systemu zarządzania bezpieczeństwem i higieną pracy będące formą i narzędziem kontrolingu. Jednym z pierwszych rozwiązań tego typu zastosowanym w przemyśle wydobywczym w Polsce były badania oparte na ankiecie MERIT (Management Evaluation Regarding Itemized Tendencies). Zastosowany w ramach ankiety model matematyczny pozwala na wyznaczenie wskaźników ocenowych (wskaźnika końcowego WZBP i wskaźników cząstkowych WOPi). Przedstawione w artykułem wyniki badań ankietowych przeprowadzonych na grupie respondentów – pracowników oddziałów górniczych kopalni – zostały następnie wykorzystane w procesie prognozowania oceny jakości działań podejmowanych w obszarze zarządzania bezpieczeństwem i higieną pracy (jako metodę prognozowania wykorzystano liniową funkcję dyskryminacyjną).

Introduction and aim: In the article the Authors consider the issue of creating the required safety culture at a company as one of the fundamental objectives under work safety and hygiene management. The changes in system of values and attitudes of company personnel would significantly contribute to improvement of work safety and hygiene. Material and methods: The material is selected issues from the literature. The method of theoretical analysis has been shown in the paper. Results: Providing modern and safe machines and equipment and risk-free technologies are indispensable elements of strategy aimed at reduction of industrial accidents and occupational diseases. However, if the above strategy is not supported with appropriate education on threat identification methods as well as relevant motivation to use safe working methods and encouragement to estimate results of decisions made, then the preventive effect of technology purchased would be of minor degree. Conclusion: For some last decades the consciousness of Polish employers and employees concerning work safety and hygiene has been gradually increasing. Such an approach is also the consequence of apparent interest in problems of building up safety culture.

Wstęp i cele: W artykule rozważa się kwestię tworzenia kultury bezpieczeństwa wymaganą w firmie jako jeden z podstawowych celów w ramach zarządzania bezpieczeństwem pracy i higieny. Zmiany w systemie wartości i postaw pracowników firmy znacząco przyczynić się mogą do poprawy bezpieczeństwa i higieny pracy. Materiał i metody: Materiałem są wybrane zagadnienia z literatury przedmiotu. Zastosowano metodę analizy teoretycznej. Wyniki: Dostarczanie nowoczesnych i bezpiecznych maszyn i urządzeń i wolnych od ryzyka technologii są nieodzownym elementem strategii mającej na celu zmniejszenie liczby wypadków przy pracy i chorób zawodowych. Jednakże, jeżeli powyższa strategia nie jest obsługiwana w odpowiedniej edukacji na temat metod identyfikacji zagrożeń, a także odpowiedniej motywacji do korzystania z bezpiecznych metod pracy i zachęty do oszacowania wyników podjętych decyzji, to efekt prewencyjny zakupionej technologii byłoby niewielkim stopniu. Wniosek: Dla niektórych ostatnich dekadach świadomość polskich pracodawców i pracowników w zakresie bezpieczeństwa i higieny pracy stopniowo rośnie. Takie podejście jest również konsekwencją wyraźnego zainteresowania problematyką budowania kultury bezpieczeństwa.

Occupational health and safety management systems apply audit examinations as an integral element of these systems. The examinations are used to verify whether the undertaken actions are in compliance with the accepted regulations, whether they are implemented in a suitable way and whether they are effective. One of the earliest solutions of that type applied in the mining industry in Poland involved the application of audit research based on the MERIT survey (Management Evaluation Regarding Itemized Tendencies). A mathematical model applied in the survey facilitates the determination of assessment indexes WOPi for each of the assessed problem areas, which, among other things, can be used to set up problem area rankings and to determine an aggregate (synthetic) assessment. In the paper presented here, the assessment indexes WOPi were used to calculate a development measure, and the calculation process itself was supplemented with sensitivity analysis.

W ramach współpracy między Centralnym Instytutem Ochrony Pracy – Państwowym Instytutem Badawczym oraz Państwową Inspekcją Pracy w latach 2009-2010 przeprowadzonych zostało 237 kontroli zakładów niesevesowskich. Ich wyniki pozwoliły na ocenę stanu zarządzania bezpieczeństwem w tych przedsiębiorstwach w kontekście przeciwdziałania poważnym awariom przemysłowym. Tylko w 20% skontrolowanych zakładów wdrożono systemy zarządzania bezpieczeństwem pracy lub stosowano ich zasadnicze elementy, które w zadowalającym stopniu uwzględniały problematykę zapobiegania awariom przemysłowym i ograniczania ich skutków. Uchybienia w zakresie zapobiegania awariom przemysłowym oraz określenia w planach sposobów ograniczania ich skutków występowały w 82% firm. Dotyczyły one głównie braku kompleksowości planowanych działań i ich aktualności, a także zbyt ogólnego formułowania zasad postępowania w tym zakresie.

Within the framework of collaboration between the Central Institute for Labour Protection – National Research Institute and the National Labour Inspectorate (PIP), 237 inspections were carried out in non-Seveso establishments in 2009 and 2010. On the basis of their results, the state of safety management in the context of major accident control was assessed. Only 20% of the supervised establishments had safety management systems, or their main elements related to preventing major accidents and mitigating their effects. There were transgressions in major accident prevention rules and no emergency procedures in 82% of all supervised establishments. They mainly consisted in no complex planned activities, out-of-date emergency plans and no detailed major accident control procedures.
