| Abstract |
The objective of this project was to understand the factors behind the good safety performance of a steel company, which had in particular been able to achieve low rates of occupational injury during the planning and implementation phases of investment projects. Approaches based on European Foundation for Quality Management models were applied to the evaluation of excellence during the design, planning, and building phases of a galvanization unit within the steelworks site. Three factors were found to be responsible for the good safety performance of the company: "contextual conditions for occupational safety and health" (including the early involvement of external authorities and departments); "central processes of occupational safety and health" (in particular the selection and qualification of external contractors); "assessment dimensions pertaining to the investment" (including controlling of the benefits of occupational safety and health). These factors are considered applicable to other sectors and to firms of various sizes. |
