| Abstract |
The effective implementation of occupational safety and health (OSH) legislation based on European Union directives requires promotion of OSH management systems (OSH MS). The voluntary Polish standard PN-N-18000 sets out OSH MS specifications and guidelines. Since the number of enterprises implementing OSH MS has increased only slowly, it was decided to develop a national policy in this area. A survey was conducted in 40 enterprises with an OSH MS to identify motivational factors underlying the decision to implement such a system. Findings show that workers and their representatives should be involved more actively in the design and implementation of these systems to improve their effectiveness. |
