| Abstract |
The objectives of this project were: to develop a methodological concept for systematic presentation of comparable quality characteristics in occupational safety and health (OSH) which is flexible and can be adapted to the specific requirements of the individual social accident insurance institutions (with relevance to individual sectors and activities); to identify and review of indices (variables) for quality measurement; to record the status of quality, quality assurance and efficiency in occupational safety and health; to evaluate the OSH services with regard to their efficacy in terms of support/control of the in-plant prevention activity; to formulate recommendations for improvements; to present the success of preventive measures in terms of their benefits for employers and insured workers. It involved in-depth analyses of available documentation, together with investigations and consultations with the social accident insurance providers and users. Findings are discussed. |
