Purpose: To develop and implementation in practice an algorithm for smart monitoring of workplace environmental physical factors for occupational health and safety (OSH) management. Design/methodology/approach: A brief conceptual analysis of existing approaches to workplace environmental physical factors monitoring was conducted and reasonably suggest a decision-making algorithm to reduce the negative impact of this factors as an element of the OSH management system. Findings: An algorithm has been developed that provides continual improvement of the OSH management system to improve overall labour productivity and which has 3 key positive features: (1) improved data collection, (2) improved data transfer and (3) operational determination of the working conditions class. Research limitations/implications: The implementation of the proposed algorithm for substantiating managerial decisions to reduce the negative impact of workplace physical factors is shown by the example of four workplace environmental physical factors in the products manufacture from glass. Practical implications: If management decisions on the implementation of protective measures are taken in accordance with the proposed monitoring algorithm, these decisions will be timely and justified. This makes it possible to reduce the time of the dangerous effects of physical factors on the health of workers and reduce the level of these factors to improve working conditions. That is, an algorithm is proposed that provides continuous improvement of the OSH management system to increase overall labour productivity. Originality/value: Current monitoring of workplace environmental physical factors values are carried out in accordance with the justified monitoring intervals for each factor that provides the necessary and sufficient amount of data and eliminates the transfer of useless data.

The concept of resilience has become very popular, especially in the 21st century. This concept is applicable to many fields, from mechanics to a broad range of social sciences. Resilience has even become part of the national and global policies of the USA, the United Nations and the European Commission. The concept of resilience has also been implemented in the area of safety and health based on the criticism of the traditional approach to occupational safety and health, which does not result in a satisfactory level of occupational safety. The concept of resilience was adopted to research occupational safety and health in different fields and thus with different approaches, such as via socio-technical studies, the psychological and behavioral aspects of organizational resilience and the link with research on individual or family resilience and its influence on work.

The debate concerning occupational safety and health (OSH) interventions has recently focused on the need of improving the evaluation of interventions, and in particular on the need for providing information about why the intervention worked or not, under what circumstances and in which context. Key concepts in the analysis of the context are the drivers, i.e., those factors enabling, fostering or facilitating OSH interventions. However, the concept of driver for an OSH intervention is both confused and contested. Although the term is widely used, there is little consensus on how drivers should be understood, how important they are in different contexts and how they can facilitate interventions. This exploratory study based on interviews with the owner-managers and the safety officers of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) gives an overview of the most characteristic drivers for OSH interventions. The results will be used to make an initial evaluation of SMEs' needs, and will help orient interventions and future research.

Many organizations worldwide have implemented Occupational Health and Safety Assessment Series (OHSAS) 18001 in their premises because of the assumed positive effects of this standard on safety. Few studies have analyzed the effect of the safety climate in OHSAS 18001-certified organizations. This case–control study used a new safety climate questionnaire to evaluate three OHSAS 18001-certified and three non-certified manufacturing companies in Iran. Hierarchical regression indicated that the safety climate was influenced by OHSAS implementation and by safety training. Employees who received safety training had better perceptions of the safety climate and its dimensions than other respondents within the certified companies. This study found that the implementation of OHSAS 18001 does not guarantee improvement of the safety climate. This study also emphasizes the need for high-quality safety training for employees of the certified companies to improve the safety climate.

Occupational health and safety is relevant to each size and kind of business. People need to work in the safe working environment. Health and safety in workplaces is a key organization responsibility matter that is important from a legal, social and economic point of view. In order to prevent occupational accidents and adverse health effects, employers have to carry out the risk assessment and decide if they take adequate and reasonable steps towards protecting workers against hazards. Risk assessment is the central point of a company’s occupational health and safety management system. It is about considering what could harm people at work and what precautions should be implemented. There are many methods that may be used in risk assessment. They differ in approaches, from qualitative or quantitative to a combination of both. Whichever method is chosen, the competences of members of risk assessment team will be absolutely crucial for obtained results and further benefits.

Zapewnienie pracownikom bezpiecznych i higienicznych warunków pracy jest konieczne w każdym przedsiębiorstwie, niezależnie od wielkości, rodzaju i zakresu prowadzonej działalności. Znaczenie odpowiedzialności pracodawcy za zdrowie i życie pracowników wynika ze względów społecznych, ekonomicznych oraz wymagań prawnych. W celu zapobiegania wypadkom przy pracy, chorobom zawodowym ora innym niekorzystnym następstwom istniejących zagrożeń w środowisku pracy należy systematycznie przeprowadzać ocenę ryzyka zawodowego na stanowiskach. Identyfikacja zagrożeń i ocena ryzyka zawodowego stanowią zasadniczy element systemu zarządzania bezpieczeństwem i higieną pracy. Zagrożenia dla zdrowia i życia pracowników istnieją na każdym stanowisku, a bezpieczeństwo jest możliwe tylko wówczas, jeśli zostaną one rozpoznane oraz podjęte zostaną działania na rzecz ich wyeliminowania bądź zabezpieczenia się przed nimi. Istnieje wiele metod oceny ryzyka zawodowego, które najogólniej można podzielić na ilościowe i jakościowe bądź mieszane. Właściwy dobór metody, a przede wszystkim kompetencje zespołu dokonującego oceny ryzyka, mają duże znaczenie dla poprawy warunków bezpieczeństwa i higieny pracy w przedsiębiorstwie.

Improvement of occupational safety and health (OSH) management is closely related to the development of OSH performance measurement, which should include OSH outcomes (e.g., occupational accidents), OSH inputs (including working conditions) and OSH-related activities. The indicators used to measure the OSH outcomes are often called lagging indicators, and the indicators of inputs and OSH activities are leading indicators. A study was conducted in 60 companies in order to determine what kinds of indicators were used for OSH performance measurement by companies with different levels of OSH performance. The results reveal that the indicators most commonly used in all of the companies are those related to ensuring compliance with the statutory requirements. At the same time, the leading indicators are much more often adopted in companies with a higher performance level. These companies also much more often monitor on a regular basis the indicators adopted for the evaluation of their OSH performance.

This article focuses on employee direct participation in occupational health and safety (OHS) management. The article explains what determines employee opportunities to participate in OHS management. The explanatory framework focuses on safety culture and safety management at workplaces. The framework is empirically tested using Estonian cross-sectional, multilevel data of organizations and their employees. The analysis indicates that differences in employee participation in OHS management in the Estonian case could be explained by differences in OHS management practices rather than differences in safety culture. This indicates that throughout the institutional change and shift to the European model of employment relations system, change in management practices has preceded changes in safety culture which according to theoretical argument is supposed to follow culture change.

The audit of the health and safety management system is understood as a form and tool of controlling. The objective of the audit is to define whether the undertaken measures and the obtained results are in conformity with the predicted assumptions or plans, whether the agreed decisions have been implemented and whether they are suitable in view of the accepted health and safety policy. This paper presents the results of an audit examination carried out on the system of health and safety management between 2002 and 2012 on a group of respondents, the employees of two mining departments (G-1 and G-2) of Jan, a coal mine. The audit was carried out using the questionnaire developed by the author based on the MERIT-APBK survey.

The aim of this study is to conduct an ex-post evaluation of the OSH Enforcement Act. The focus of the study was to collate the views of occupational safety and health (OSH) inspectors on how the OSH Enforcement Act and the practices of the governmental OSH inspectorate operate from an effectiveness perspective. The questionnaire included open questions addressed to OSH inspectors. The results indicated that there is a tension between the quantitative performance targets, e.g., the number of inspections and the effectiveness of the practical enforcement work. Harmonizing the enforcement practices should be implemented at two levels: OSH local agencies and individual inspectors. OSH inspectors believe that developing the professional skills of OSH inspectors and the monitoring of OSH management systems are important ways of promoting the effectiveness of OSH enforcement.

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.

The articles discusses a concept of forecasting accident risk during longwall extraction in crump-risk conditions based on random process theory and event theory. Stochastic Markov processes were used to estimate times of occurrence of dangerous events and forecasting their consequences. Expert models were proposed for forecasting likely places of occurrence of dangerous events. Thanks to the gained up-to-date diagnostic information, it was possible to develop operational forecasts after processing this information and directly provide it to the team in the form of warnings. Assessment results will also allow for taking decision on temporary withdrawal of workers outside unacceptable risk areas. The proposed method for forecasting accidents and losses in people and goods can contribute to improvement of work organization methods and improvements in the mine safety management system.

Co-operation between different parties and effective safety management play an important role in ensuring safety in multiemployer worksites. This article reviews safety co-operation and factors complicating safety management in Finnish multiemployer manufacturing worksites. The paper focuses on the service providers' opinions; however, a comparison of the customers' views is also presented. The results show that safety-related co-operation between providers and customers is generally considered as successful but strongly dependent on the partner. Safety co-operation is provided through, e.g., training, orientation and risk analysis. Problems encountered include ensuring adequate communication, identifying hazards, co-ordinating work tasks and determining responsibilities. The providers and the customers encounter similar safety management problems. The results presented in this article can help companies to focus their efforts on the most problematic points of safety management and to avoid common pitfalls.

Dążenie przedsiębiorstw przemysłowych do produkcji bezwypadkowej jest możliwe, gdy postawi się na budowanie świadomości pracowników. Ludzie, którzy tworzą organizację i którzy chcą, aby była ona bezpieczna, muszą mieć wiedzę na temat zagrożeń w miejscu pracy i sposobów postępowania, aby wyeliminować potencjalne ryzyko utraty zdrowia lub życia. W systemach zarządzania bezpieczeństwem i higieną pracy pracownicy muszą uczestniczyć w szkoleniach oraz dzielić się wiedzą i doświadczeniem. Pracownicy, którzy sami poszukują możliwości rozwiązywania problemów doskonalą system zarządzania bezpieczeństwem i higieną pracy. Rozważania teoretyczne wzbogacono przykładami z praktyki funkcjonowania przedsiębiorstw przemysłowych.
