Considerations for the Implementation of the Management Systems in Small and Medium Sized Enterprises

Summary/Abstract: The workplace accidents and occupational diseases involve an unexpected number of "actors" and raise costs for the businesses, for other companies and for the whole society. Statistics show an alarming situation: in the SMEs are recorded most of the workplace accidents. Furthermore, the survival of the SMEs on the European common market is no longer a certainty in the absence of modern tools of quality, environmental and OSH management. In the lack of financial, human and material resources, and knowledge (know how) that substantially affect SMEs, they will abandon the concerns for the improving of the working conditions, to increase quality or to protect the environment. To support the SMEs approach on the mentioned issues, they must be ready with flexible, easy to apply and effective tools. In this paper it is proposed to SMEs the implementation of such systems that include elements on the joint management of OSH, environment and quality.
