Purpose: of the paper has been the assessment of the dependence between improvement of the implemented occupational health and safety management system and both minimization of costs connected with occupational health and safety assurance and optimization of real work conditions. Design/methodology/approach: used for the analysis has included definition of the occupational health and safety system with regard to the rules and tool allowing for occupational safety assurance in the organisational and technical way, analyses of costs and benefits of the system maintenance as well as study on the tools for potential improvement of processes. Findings: of analysis are as follows: continuously improving occupational safety management system guarantees the advancement of work conditions, the decrease of the rate of occupational illnesses as well as the lowering of the amount of occupational accidents. Research limitations/implications: can apply in case of any organisation, which uses both organizational and technical rules, methods and tools to assure the optimal level of occupational health and safety conditions. Originality/value: of the presented paper has been constituted by the specification of the continuous improvement tools and methods in the system implemented on the basis on quality criterion.
