The mining industry in Serbia has an important place in the country's economic development. Bearing in mind that the number of injuries that occur in the mining industry is unacceptably high, occupational safety and health is a challenge that existing and future mines will have to deal with. Studying injuries in mining, it was noticed that injuries requiring an absence from work for more than three days (especially fatal ones) are diametrically different in relation to the cause and manner of events related to injuries for which an absence from work is not necessary. In this research, authors focused on injuries that were characterized as ones requiring an absence from work. The statistical analysis of work-related injuries in mining is presented, as well as analysis of the direct causes of injuries, which are described as unsafe conduct of employees, unsafe conduct of company's management and/or unsafe working environment. In relation to classification of causes of injuries, a recommendation on what needs to be changed in order to remedy this situation in Serbia is given.

Many industries are confronted by plateauing safety performance as measured by the absence of negative events – particularly lower-consequence incidents or injuries. At the same time, these industries are sometimes surprised by large fatal accidents that seem to have no connection with their understanding of the risks they faced; or with how they were measuring safety. This article reviews the safety literature to examine how both these surprises and the asymptote are linked to the very structures and practices organizations have in place to manage safety. The article finds that safety practices associated with compliance, control and quantification could be partly responsible. These can create a sense of invulnerability through safety performance close to zero; organizational resources can get deflected into unproductive or counterproductive initiatives; obsolete practices for keeping human performance within a pre-specified bandwidth are sustained; and accountability relationships can encourage suppression of the ‘bad news’ necessary to learn and improve.

Wypadki w pracy, w zależności od stopnia ciężkości, skutkują nieobecnością pracownika w miejscu pracy (absencja chorobowa - powypadkowa). Wraz ze zmianami w strukturach zarządzania zasobami ludzkimi (zwiększenie nacisku na poprawę efektywność funkcjonowania pracowników) przedsiębiorstwa wprowadziły działania określane jako zarządzanie absencjami. Działy personalne przedsiębiorstw zostały zobligowane do prowadzenia kalkulacji kosztów wszystkich absencji pracowniczych, w tym również absencji powypadkowych. Uzyskane szacunki kosztów stały się podstawą do wprowadzania działań służących obniżeniu poziomu absencji pracowniczych. W przypadku absencji powypadkowych przedsiębiorstwa dążą do ograniczenia liczby wypadków (w perspektywie strategicznej także do ich całkowitego wyeliminowania - strategia produkcji bezwypadkowej), aby wyeliminować absencje powypadkowe, a także podejmują wiele innych działań określanych jako zarządzanie absencjami. W systemach zarządzania bezpieczeństwem i higieną pracy działania z zakresu poprawy bezpieczeństwa pracy splatają się z działaniami z zakresu zarządzania zasobami ludzkimi. Polityka zarządzania absencjami służy obniżeniu absencji chorobowych i poprawie produktywności.

Accidents at work, depending on their severity result in the absence of the worker in workplace (post-accident sickness absence). Together with the changes in human resources management structures (emphasis put on the improvement of efficiency of employees. functioning) the enterprises have introduced activities called absences management. Human departments of enterprises are obliged to conduct calculations of the cost of absences of employees. Achieved estimated costs became the basis to introduce activities which are aimed at decreasing the level of employees. absences. In case of post-accident absences enterprises strive at limiting the numbers of accidents (in strategic perspective also to their total elimination - strategy of no-accident manufacturing). In work safety and hygiene management systems the activities connected with improvement of work safety are connected with activities in the field of human resources management. The policy of absences management is aimed at decreasing the amount of sickness absences and improvement of productivity. The aim of this publication is to present the assumptions connected with cost calculation of post-accident absences and proposals of activities which allow to reduce the number of sickness absence days. In the practical part of publication the relation between the number of accidents and the number of sick leave days is presented. A case study here was a metalurgical enterprise.
