Abstract
According to the legal norms in Romania, employer has the obligation to take preventive training of workers in order to avoid accidents at work. The employer uses specialized personnel or specialized occupational health and safety (OSH) services to deal with specific training. In this paper we will present how effective OHS trainings are and what aspects should be addressed to improve them from a qualitative perspective. The quality of these trainings contributes both to the quality of the instructor and the quality of the material, which is directly influenced by the well-trained instructor. This study aims to analyse the statistical results of the use of preventive measures through OSH training before and after an accident at work. In the statistical comparison, we assume that the effectiveness of OSH training can only result from the achievement of their preventive purpose, namely the reduction of work-related accidents and, implicitly, the prevention of major costs of recovering the damage caused by these events. This study as well as the subsequent ones on the effectiveness of OSH training through material quality and quantity aim to integrate OSH training into the complex array of OSH culture, taking into account the principles of knowledge management.
Highlights
According to statistics from the National Institute of Statistics and an interface of the TEMPO website [1], in Romania, the last 10 years (Table 1) have an annual average of 4146 work accidents, of which 283 are deadly
As a result of this study, we have demonstrated that training in Romania is deficient and inefficient, as long as they have to be an important part of the measures taken after the work accidents
We have found suggestive and countless examples of the ongoing training of various professional structures that are conducive to making their work more efficient
Summary
According to statistics from the National Institute of Statistics and an interface of the TEMPO website [1], in Romania, the last 10 years (Table 1) have an annual average of 4146 work accidents, of which 283 (almost 7%) are deadly. With regard to international milestones on these statistics, the International Labour Organization (ILO) has worldwide statistics from which we can see where we are. A relevant statistic, is the number of fatal work accidents per 100,000 workers [2], as this statistic is proportional to the labour force, not expressing the nominal values that differ greatly according to the size of the population of each country. Great Britain Germany Spain Hungary Singapore Italy United States Romania Total. The selection of comparative countries excludes undeveloped or emerging countries, and it was intended that the countries compared to have uninterrupted statistics reported to the ILO
