OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH MANAGEMENT

Summary/Abstract: The current world of work as we know is changing faster than ever. Our workplaces, work practices and processes are constantly changing in character. These new work situations bring new risk and challenges for workers and employers alike. New technologies, new materials and new forms of organization of work might reduce old risks, but they can also lead to new problems, for example psychosocial risks. Therefore, issues of health and safety at work are becoming increasingly important. Increasingly complex work processes and changes in working conditions, together with the resulting new or changing types of hazard, Barbara Chomątowska need a new and systematic approach to safety and health at work. Occupational safety and health (OSH) has to be managed. In this context the companies have to introduce or improve their OSH management systems. The occupational safety and health management systems (OSHMSs) should be an integral part of a global company management system (OSH should be managed with the same degree of expertise and to the same standards as other core business activities). The purpose of this paper is to present the most important issues of the occupational safety and health management.
