Abstract
Effective implementation in Poland of occupational safety and health (OSH) legislation based on European Union (EU) directives requires a promotion of OSH management systems (OSH MS). To this end, a series of voluntary standards has been adopted, setting forth OSH MS specifications and guidelines. However, the number of enterprises implementing OSH MS has been increasing slowly, which calls for a national policy on OSH MS promotion. In order to provide input data for the development of this policy, a survey was conducted in a group of 40 enterprises with OSH MS. The survey was aimed at identification of motivational factors underlying OSH MS implementation decisions. The results indicate the required actions. The main ones include increasing workers' participation in OSH activities and increasing the role of the National Labour Inspectorate in OSH MS promotion.
