Abstract This report presents the results of an investigation of the occupational safety and health (OSH) organization systems of large and medium-sized companies. Based on an analysis of human factors, the report shows how efforts in the field of OSH can help retain qualified human resources and thus bring in numerous benefits. The advantages of benefit-oriented OSH efforts are illustrated with the help of examples. Impact chains are used to show how the company can meet its internal targets. The importance of the role of OSH experts is emphasized. Finally, the key aspects for implementing a successful OSH organization system within the company are discussed.
