This book was released on 2004 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is where companies integrate social and environmental concerns in their business operations. To be socially responsible means going beyond fulfilling the legal expectations, by also investing 'more' into human capital, the environment and the relations with stakeholders. This report explores the interactions between CSR and safety and health at work both at company and policy level. Eleven company cases from six EU countries are presented as examples. CSR is a development that is taking root in a broad variety of industrial sectors and that is relevant for large companies as well as for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).

Book excerpt: This report is the fifth in a series of European Risk Observatory thematic reports. It seeks to review in depth what risks transport workers are exposed to at work and what the consequences of these exposures are. It does this not only by analysing statistics and studies, but also through selected case examples of research and prevention. The report is intended for both those working in the sector and policymakers in this domain. While trying to give an overview and highlight the main issues for policy and prevention, the study covers a wide variety of jobs and tasks and a very diverse working population. To cover at the same time the common trends and explain the problems specific to certain jobs is a challenging task. There are many common issues, such as the increasing number of immigrant workers in transport jobs, or the combination of ergonomic and psychosocial stressors, but they are expressed differently in the different subsectors and need to be tackled differently. That is why the report addresses many transport occupations with specific case studies describing the OSH problems and giving advice on how they were prevented effectively. A more in-depth insight into workplace prevention measures for road transport, haulage, taxi drivers and courier services is also provided by other Agency publications.

Download or read book Occupational Safety and Accident Prevention written by C.G. Hoyos and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2014-06-28 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the early 1970s there has been a considerable growth in the literature published on the topic of human reliability. However, the main emphasis has been on technical aspects of human reliability, rather than on an integrated safety approach combining safety engineering, organization and human factors. Up till now, information on the subject of occupational safety which covers human reliability as one aspect has been widely scattered in technical reviews or briefly mentioned in textbooks.This book provides a comprehensive overview on occupational safety with special emphasis on the human element. Examples of empirical studies as well as suggestions for practical measures are included to help in the understanding and application of the contents of the text. Although the prime objective of the book is to cover occupational safety from a human factors point of view, nevertheless some of the related areas are also discussed. Among others, they include problem solving in complex systems, judgmental and heuristic biases in decision making as well as characteristics of decision support systems in high risk industry. The inclusion of these topics clearly indicates the shift in attention of occupational safety from work activities on the shop floor to tasks of operators and supervisors in automated and semi-automated systems.The text will prove useful to students of psychology and human factors engineering. Additionally, it holds great utility for persons with an engineering background, such as industrial engineers, quality control engineers, system and design engineers and safety practitioners.

Download or read book Applied Quantitative Methods for Occupational Safety and Health written by Jan K. Wachter and published by University Readers. This book was released on 2011-11 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Foreword: Most business managers understand the moral, legal, and financial reasons for maintaining safe and healthy workforces. As business professionals, they embrace the positive effect safety can have on their bottom-line operatiing performance and value the roles of occuaptional safety and health (S & H) professionals in striving to support safe operations. Management's decisions to move forward on improving workplace safety and health are dependent on the hazard evaluations and analyses conducted by S & H professionals. Therefore, business managers have a strong interest in supporting the work of S & H professionals. As part of the S & H professional's job, it is important to provide quantitative analyses that make good business sense when recommending necessary interventions to management. To be effective, the safety professional must be able to assess the workplace situation and compare findings with acceptable standards. If the situation poses an unacceptable risk, intervention is necessary to eliminate or control the identified hazard. Data collection, analysis, and evaluation are essential for determining sound, defensible recommendations to support management interventions. This text develops this important process and provides the tools and techniques necessary to make the business case for safety and health interventions in today's workplace through data-supported approaches. Further, the text provides examples for communicating the business case to both employees and management personnel responsible for bringing about needed change.

Download or read book Occupational Injuries and Workplace Risks written by Simo Salminen and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2023-08-24 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The International Labour Organization (ILO) estimates that, worldwide, there are around 340 million occupational accidents annually. Moreover, the underreporting of occupational accidents, injuries and fatalities is giving a false picture of the real scope of the problem. In addition to human suffering, occupational injuries are a serious public-health problem and cause considerable economic losses. This book describes how employees’ individual properties, such as gender, age, and health status affect their vulnerability to suffering occupational injuries. It explores the effects of different ways of organising work, such as precarious work and shift work, on risk rates. Further, it looks at the risk sources encountered by workers in a number of industrial environments, such as transportation, construction sites, manufacturing plants, forestry, fishing, and mines. It also touches on more recent trends in this sector, such as migration and climate change.

Download or read book Seven Bad Habits of Safety Management written by Murray Ritchie and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2023-09-13 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Occupational Health and Safety has been a growth industry for several decades and has moved beyond the realm of the human resource department and workers’ compensation claims. However, the methodologies utilized and taught within the profession have changed little since the 1930s. The industry continues to operate in a "comfort zone" and, as such, has reached an improvement plateau. This important book examines seven of these antiquated comfort zones from their conceptions to implementation and explores why they fail to achieve the desired results and what alternatives are available. Seven Bad Habits of Safety Management: Examining Systemic Failure delivers seven focused chapters outlining the comfort zones they create and their impacts on new initiatives. Each critically analyses common safety practices exploring where they came from, why they fail, and a few alternatives being discussed around the world. Case studies underpin learning that will allow the reader to revisit and revise their current programs and campaigns to realise a better return on their safety investment. The book will allow the reader to better understand the root causes of systems failures faced daily in the management of health and safety and how to confront them. This readable and exciting text from an author with over 40 years of experience in occupational health and safety will appeal to students, researchers and professionals of process safety, occupational safety, safety engineering, human resources and business management.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This eye-opening book shows how the rights of workers to safe and healthful workplaces are under greater attack today than at any time since the passage of the landmark Occupational Safety and Health Act in 1970. This collection is organized around three thematic issues that pose significant challenges to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration's ability to protect workers' safety and health. First, the economy has shifted from an industrial base to a white collar/service base, which includes more women workers than ever before - yet many of the safety and health problems that affect women are not being adequately addressed. Second, free market ideology and globalization have served to undermine worker safety and health laws. And finally, the effects of 9/11 have exacerbated the trend toward weakening workers' rights and safety standards in the name of national security.
