Sistemas de gerenciamento em saúde e segurança do trabalho: uma abordagem sistêmica

Abstract Risks are intrinsic to any human activity. Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems (OHSMSs) are mechanisms designed to mitigate risks, protect workers, and ensure productivity. This study aimed to support researchers’ reflective analysis by examining scientific literature related to OHSMSs and identifying possibilities for future research with practical significance. Employing a qualitative approach, this systematic review was conducted using bibliographic procedures and action research. The intervention instrument ProKnow-C guided by a structured process from a constructivist perspective, was applied. A total of 3,130 studies were analyzed to select the bibliographic portfolio. The systemic analysis revealed that most articles neither demonstrate legitimacy nor consider companies’ particularities. The paper advances theoretical knowledge of OHSMSs by assessing relevant studies in the field, identifying evolution patterns, and highlighting gaps. A research agenda is proposed to guide the development of future models. We conclude that the challenges of designing ad hoc OHSMSs and incorporating the decision-makers’ knowledge throughout the process when addressed, have the potential to significantly contribute to the advancement of this field of knowledge.

Safety management practices among Saudi healthcare professionals during pandemic

The COVID-19 pandemic has greatly impacted organizational processes and activities. Unlike previous pandemics, COVID-19 has affected everyone directly or indirectly. To protect employees from the virus and associated risks, organizations have focused on developing occupational health and safety management systems. While safety policies and practices were already in place before the pandemic, the emergence of new physical and psychological risks has led organizations to amend their safety and health management systems. Governments have introduced health containment measures such as social distancing, working in shifts, and mandatory quarantine to enhance safety for people worldwide. Employers have also introduced safety measures to build confidence in implementation. These safety management practices have influenced employees' behaviors during the pandemic, and this study aims to examine their impact. Specifically, the study aims to determine the impact of management practices on the behavior of healthcare employees regarding their safety in a threatening environment. Additionally, the study seeks to investigate the indirect influence of management practices on employees' behavior through perceived risks and efficacy. It is important to note that there has been a lack of research on the impact of COVID-19 on healthcare workers in Saudi Arabia. This study found that management commitment did not directly influence employee safety behavior. However, management commitment towards workplace safety practices had a significant and direct influence on healthcare employees' perceived risk associated with COVID-19 and their efficacy. Consequently, management commitment was found to indirectly influence employee safety behavior through efficacy.

Developing an ISO 45001-based OHSMS for a Bogotá, Colombia real estate and property development company

Today, many organizations are seeking to implement continuous improvement plans not only to achieve greater economic benefits but also to improve the quality of life for their employees. The importance of reducing and preventing workplace accidents, protecting the health and well-being of employees, and preventing work-related illnesses has increased. This article focuses on the development of an Occupational Health and Safety Management System (OHSMS) for an organization in the real estate and property development services sector in Bogotá. The design of the OHSMS is based on the identification of the deficiencies of the current system and the proposal of continuous improvement, according to the ISO 45001: 2018 standard. The design process included three stages of research: 1. initial diagnosis, 2. hazard and risk assessment, and 3. management system performance assessment with appropriate controls and indicators. This article evaluates working conditions in production and in enclosed spaces, such as offices. The integration of these aspects ensures a comprehensive vision of occupational health and safety in real estate and property development companies. The design of the OHSMS is an essential step towards the continuous improvement of working conditions and the well-being of employees. Compliance with the ISO 45001: 2018 standard aims to ensure a safe and healthy working environment for all members of the organization.

СИСТЕМИ УПРАВЛІННЯ БЕЗПЕКОЮ І ЗДОРОВ’ЯМ НА РОБОТІ У КОНТЕКСТІ ISO 45001:2018

The main task of safety and health at work (OSH) is to protect the most important thing we have, the health of each of us. Employers have the ability to anticipate and prevent risks by properly implementing an occupational health and safety management system.In connection with accidents at work, in recent years both in our country and around the world, permanent OSH management systems have begun to be used. The purpose of these management systems is to make occupational health and safety activities simpler, clearer and easier to implement in the workplace, to help create a more effective prevention system and to ensure the effective participation of all employees, regardless of their level in the enterprise structure. Thanks to this, it is possible to reduce the number of accidents at work and occupational diseases, to continue scientific research on occupational health and safety, and to create an environment that will help improve the level of development of the country. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the benefits of OSH systems that can provide workers, businesses, and industries with ways to reduce occupational injuries and illnesses. For this purpose, a detailed review of the literature is conducted and the obtained results are comprehensively evaluated. The main task of the article is to describe the history of safety management systems to determine the state of implementation of the ISO 45001 system. Next, the article describes the ISO 45001 standard from the perspective of the PDCA Cycle and describes the benefits and importance of the implementation of the ISO 45001 standard.ISO 45001:2018 contains more requirements compared to previous editions of OHSAS standards. However, at the same time, it gives more freedom in their imple-mentation. The formulation of the standard can be considered a step forward ‒ it is clear and reflects the current situation in the business environment. Its structure is compatible with other management systems, in particular with the ISO 9001:2015 quality mana-gement system and the ISO 14001:2015 environmental management system. All three management standards have the same structure of sections, which allows you to create an integrated system of quality, environment, occupational health and safety management.The success of OSH management systems depends on the leadership, commitment and participation of all levels and functions of the organization; allocation of necessary resources, policies and goals in the field of occupational health and safety; compliance with legal and other requirements; effective management of safety risks; strict moni-toring; assessment of the effectiveness of the OSH management system; and integration of this system into the enterprise's business processes.Keywords: safety; management; ISO 45001; health; injuries, OSH

THE CONCEPT OF PROACTIVE OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH MANAGEMENT AT ENTERPRISES

Purpose: Develop the concept for proactive occupational safety and health management at enterprises, as part of the implementation of the recommendations of ISO 45001:2018. Methodology: Analysis of scientific and technical literature - to update the problem and determine research objectives; analysis of the content and recommendations of ISO 45001:2018 and ISO 31010:2019 standards - to develop the concept of proactive occupational safety and health management. Conclusions: Based on the research, a concept of proactive occupational safety and health management systems at enterprises has been developed and proposed for use in enterprise occupational safety and health, which, unlike the existing one (according to the recommendations of ISO 45001:2018), provides conditions for direct management of the parameters of the negative impact of identified dangerous and harmful production effects on the employee (DHPF), through the use of active means of constant monitoring and prompt adjustment of the parameters of the relevant DHPF, which will ensure support of the level of professional risk within recognized acceptable values.The possibility of effective implementation of the proposed concept requires the determination of standardized values for a certain range of dangerous and harmful production effects (psychological, physical, etc.), which are not yet regulated within the framework of current legislation. Research limitations: The proposed concept of proactive occupational safety and health management cannot be used to minimize or eliminate dangerous and harmful production effects that are not regulated (within the framework of current regulations on occupational safety and health). Value:The results of this research can be used to improve the recommendations of the ISO 45001:2018 and ISO 31010:2019 standards. Originality: For the first time, the concept of proactive management has been proposed, which, unlike the existing one (in accordance with the recommendations of ISO 45001:2018), is aimed at preventing the occurrence of an incident through constant monitoring and prompt adjustment of the parameters of the negative impact on the DHPF employee during the work shift.

The construction industry is the largest contributor to the number of work accidents, it was increase almost every year. Based on accident data in 2021, there are 234,270 cases and claims issued by BPJS Ketenagakerjaan reached Rp. 1.79 thrillion. Project of industrial development The Nestle batik and spark greenfield factory located in Batang, Central Java has a high potential of work accidents. The research was conducted to evaluate the compliance of safety implementation with the safety, occupational health and environmental management system (SMK3L). This research excuted by using qualitative descriptive method and the research instruments referring to regulations issued by the National Construction Services Development Institute (LPJKN) in 2016 concerning monitoring and evaluating the implementation of construction SMK3 in the form of a Safety Performance Evaluation (SPE) Form, while primary data to be taken directly in the project by finding documentary evidence and/or real actions carried out by all workers at the project site. In accordance with the SPE, there are 5 criteria reviewed, namely Occupational safety and health commitment and policy, Occupational safety and health planning at the project level, Occupational safety and health implementation and operations, Occupational safety and health performance inspection and evaluation and Occupational safety and health review. Results of research and analysis achieved the level of compliance in implementing SMK3L in the Nestle Batik and Spark Greenfield Project reaches 92% or satisfactory criteria. Risk of work accidents can be prevented properly without affecting construction delay. It is suggested to the contractor to maintain the implementation of a good occupational health and environmental safety management system that has been implemented and improve some of which still implroperly implemented so that zero fatality and zero accident can be achieved.

TERMS FOR MANAGEMENT OF OCCUPATIONAL RISKS IN THE DRAFT LAW OF UKRAINE "ON SAFETY AND HEALTH OF EMPLOYEES AT WORK"

Consider the requirements of international regulatory acts regarding the management of occupational risks in occupational health and safety systems (hereinafter referred to as OHSS) and determine their compliance with the draft Law on "Safety and Health of Workers at Work". To achieve this goal, the comparative legal method was used, which is the basis of the unification and harmonization of law through international treaties, as well as the method of interdisciplinary synthesis, which made it possible to reveal data on the structural properties of objects of different terms. The requirements of the main documents on risk management in the field of PPE for the draft Law on "Safety and Health of Employees at Work" were analyzed. It was determined that the guiding principles of occupational safety and health management systems - ILO-OSH 2001 (ILO-OSH 2001) have the greatest influence on the development of the draft law. The second edition, 2009, which led to the use of outdated terms, since a significant proportion of Ukrainian enterprises are certified for compliance with the requirements of the ISO 45001:2018 standard or work in accordance with its requirements and, accordingly, use the terms, definitions and methods of occupational risk management set out in this standard . It is proposed to replace the terms and phrases related to the management of occupational risks in the draft Law on "Safety and Health of Workers at Work" based on the requirements of international and domestic regulatory acts in the field of occupational safety and occupational health. In particular, use the words effectiveness instead of efficiency, elimination of danger instead of elimination of risk, prevention of incident instead of prevention of risk. The scientific novelty consists in the substantiation of the terminology related to the provision of risk management, namely, the author's definition of the terms precautionary measures and acceptable risk is provided. Recommendations have been developed for the replacement of terms, phrases and expressions in the text of the draft Law on "Safety and Health of Workers at Work". In particular, "minimization of occupational hazards" to "reduction of the number of occupational hazards, dangerous occupational factors and harmful occupational factors."

Safety culture, safety performance and financial performance. A longitudinal study

Safety Culture and managing employee relationships in a safe and socially responsible climate might help avoid risks at the workplace and reputational damage for companies. Drawing on the social approach and Occupational Health and Safety Management, this paper aims to gain further knowledge regarding the impact of safety culture through safety performance on financial performance in organisations. We test a set of hypotheses in a panel data of European companies from different activity sectors from 2005 to 2019. Our findings provide strong support for the premise that companies with policies aimed at improving employee health and safety, employee training, or having safety management systems positively influence safety performance, which in turn has a positive impact on financial performance. The development of safety culture in the company is necessary to meet the needs of employees, and thus improve safety performance. This study has implications for both theory and practice and offers some relevant implications for regulators and policy makers.

Penerapan Sistem Manajemen Keselamatan Dan Kesehatan Kerja Di RSUD Kota Makassar

The workplace is where tasks are carried out to produce goods and services. The implementation of Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) programs in a company can support the improvement of workforce productivity, thereby yielding benefits automatically. The research population consisted of 737 individuals, namely all employees registered as hospital staff, while the research sample consisted of 10 individuals who have authority in implementing the Occupational Health and Safety Management System (OHSMS) at the Hospital in Makassar City. The research was conducted using qualitative survey methods through purposive sampling. Data were collected through interviews and direct observations. The results of this research examined commitments and policies, planning, organizing, and implementing OHS at the Hospital in Makassar City. Commitments and policies from leadership regarding OHS implementation already exist and are documented, but they have not been effectively socialized to all elements in the hospital. OHS planning at the Hospital in Makassar City has been conducted before program formulation, including data collection and priority setting. Organizing is done by forming the PK3RS organization. OHS implementation is carried out in the form of training, socialization, and provision of personal protective equipment, but still in very minimal quantities. Evaluation and review have not been carried out because the implementation of OHS at the Hospital in Makassar City has only been running for about 6 months. Recommendations for management include strengthening commitments to improve PK3RS performance, ensuring the provision of qualified PK3RS personnel, and communicating OHS to all levels of management, employees, patients, and hospital visitors.

Establishing Occupational Health and Safety Management System in a Libya Oil Company According to ISO 45001:2018 Case Study: Waha Oil Company

The main aim of the paper is to identify the level of Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) systems application in the Waha Oil Company. This study also examines the employee’s perspective (PE) regarding the application level of the systems of occupational health and safety. The study has shown that the majority of employees are satisfied with the level of occupational health and safety means and procedures in their workplace, also the employees agreed that the company holds training programs and sessions on occupational health and safety affairs, and the results have shown that employees are satisfied with the insurance and compensation policies in the company. The study has adopted a quantitative approach with deductive reasoning based on a case study model to test for a correlation between two main variables which are (OHS and EP). Also, this approach allows analysis of the numerical primary data generated from the questionnaire using the statistical software SPSS. According to the results of this study, it was concluded that there is a statistically significant linear correlation between the two variables and that this relationship is positive, meaning that OHS as an independent variable can predict EP as a dependent variable.

Associations of endurance, muscle strength, and balanced exercise with subjective sleep quality in sedentary workers: A cross-sectional study.

The optimal exercise combination for improving sleep quality among sedentary workers is unclear. To reveal what combination of exercises contributes to good sleep quality. In this cross-sectional study, we enrolled 5,201 sedentary workers who underwent health examinations in 2019. Data on sleep quality, basic attributes, energy expenditure, and lifestyle aspects such as exercise and physical activity, supper time close to bedtime, and alcohol intake were obtained. The subjects reported their exercise habits by selecting up to three forms of exercise from a list of 182 options, which were classified into three types: endurance (e.g., jogging), muscle strength (e.g., bench pressing), and balanced types which combined both endurance and muscle strength characteristics. (e.g., walking). These forms were then categorized into eight combination patterns: endurance only; muscle strength only; balanced only; endurance and muscle strength; endurance and balanced; muscle strength and balanced; all types; and absence of any exercise habits. Binary logistic regression analysis was used to examine the associations between the exercise combination patterns and sleep quality. Good sleep quality was significantly associated with "endurance" (OR = 1.419; 95% CI 1.110-1.814), "balanced only" (OR = 1.474; 95% CI 1.248-1.741), and "endurance and balance" (OR = 1.782; 95% CI 1.085-2.926) exercise patterns. No significant associations were found between the combinations that included muscle strength exercises and sleep quality. The endurance or balanced-type exercises, or a combination of both, may help to improve the sleep quality of sedentary workers as part of occupational health management.

Evaluation of Occupational Health Safety Management System in Hospitals in Banda Aceh City

The most dominant hospital activity actors at risk of occupational safety accidents (SMK3) are hospital employees such as nurses, cleaning services, patients and visitors. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the application and factors affecting the implementation of occupational health and environmental safety management systems at dr. Zainal Abidin Regional General Hospital, Meuraxa Hospital and Banda Aceh Mother and Child Hospital. The data collection technique uses a mix method that combines quantitative and qualitative data with sequential explanatory strategies. The legal basis is Permenkes No. 66 of 2016, and the data was analyzed using the Likert scale method points 1-5 through SPSS version 26. The results of research at RSUDZA, RSIA, and RSUDM Banda Aceh show that the application of SMK3 is good to very good. However, there are several inhibiting factors that need to be considered by the hospital in order to improve the implementation of the Occupational Safety and Health Management System (SMK3) at RSUDZA, RSIA, and RSUDM Banda Aceh, some improvements can be recommended. First, RSUDZA needs to ensure the stability of K3 field officers and improve the marking of K3 signs. In addition, the unification of the drug room with pharmacy employees must be separated to be more effective. RSIA needs to obtain budget for ceiling repairs so as to block various small dirt falling from roof gaps, avoid splashing rainwater falling through the roof insulators or regulators of heat and cold coming from the roof, roof frame covers to make the space neater and cleaner, sound dampers, both generated by rainwater and other sounds and rearrange the right material placement. RSUDM needs to overcome solid waste piles, improve the marking of K3 rooms, and improve the arrangement of parking areas. In addition, it is important to hire additional security personnel in the ER. All these improvements are expected to improve occupational safety and health conditions in hospitals.

Management accounting system as mediator on sustainability performance

This paper aims to investigate the factors of competitive success and examine the relationship between Strategic Management Accounting, management accounting information systems and sustainability performance. This research was conducted with a quantitative approach. The survey involved 125 managers of 4- and 5-star hotels in Bali, Indonesia, a research sample of 154 managers was determined to be given a research questionnaire. Analysis of research data was carried out through Structural Equation Modeling. The results showed that strategic management accounting and Information Management Accounting System had a positive effect on sustainability performance. MAS information also mediates the relationship between strategic management accounting and sustainability performance which can involve a variety of factors. This study only focuses on competitive strategy and MAS information variables, so further research is needed on the sustainability performance of the hospitality industry. The positive relationship between strategic management accounting and social and environmental performance supports the argument that hotels use socio-environmental aspects for their strategic management accounting. Hotel managers also need government regulations and information related to social and environmental issues such as the Indonesian occupational health and safety management system and the Indonesia Green Hotel Award.

Accupational Cleanliness Health and Safety Management System In Light Rail Transit at South Sumatera

Theoretical Framework: Occupational Accidents and diseases are among the highest cases in the world today. Occupational health and safety is a human right, therefore the importance of a culture of occupational health and safety in every industry and office. The cases that often occur in light rail transit are noise, lighting, temperature, humidity, and cleanliness. The latest finding is that there has never been an audit of the Light Rail Transit Occupational Cleanliness Health and Safety Management System. Purpose: The aim of this research is to find out which criteria CA2, CA3 and CA4 are most dominant in noise, lighting, temperature, humidity and cleanliness. Method: The method used in this study was a field survey for taking noise samples using the SM-20-A sound level meter, for lighting samples using a Lux light meter LM-120, for temperature and humidity sampling using a Thermo Hygrometer HTC-2. On environmental cleanliness using a questionnaire on South Sumatra LRT employees. After taking the sample, the researchers conducted an analysis using the univariate method of each independent and dependent variable, which was carried out at 13 South Sumatra LRT stations. Result an Conclusion: The LRT passes through every bend with a noise level of up to 100 dB (˃85 dB). It does not comply with NIOSH standards at every bend. The lighting test results for the South Sumatra LRT were not complied with at the LRT Depot in the employee's office, with a measuring result of 88,4 lux. Tests on the room temperature at the South Sumatra LRT station revealed that it was pretty high and did not adhere to the work space's maximum temperature standards. Only the CA4 location, out of all the measurement points, met the required temperature of 25 °C. Every station also performed measurements of the air humidity. Each measurement site satisfies the air humidity standard of 70%. The hygiene inspection majority had fulfilled the Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for cleanliness based on Cleanliness, Health, Safety, and Environment Sustainability (CHSE). The conclusion is that CA2 is the most dominant case with the highest level in each criterion, especially in the case of noise.

Critical Success Factors in Occupational Safety and Health Management System: A Review Existing Literature

Occupational Safety and Health Management Systems (OSHMS) play a crucial role in systematically managing risks and preventing injuries and illnesses in organisations. To ensure effective implementation of OSHMS, it is essential to focus on key critical success factors (CSFs) which leads to successful OSH performance. This is a review which aims to identify CSFs related to OSHMS implementation in organisations. Literature searches were conducted via Scopus and ScienceDirect online databases to identify articles published between the year 2008 to 2019. Search terms such as “critical success factor”, “success factors’’, “occupational safety and health management system”, “occupational health”, and “management system” were used as keywords and a traditional review concept was selected. Inclusion criteria involved English articles available in open-access journals or subscribed search engines, focusing on CSFs and/or OSHMS. The main themes of CSFs were summarised into categories fitting the Socio-Technical approach. Five studies were selected and reviewed, representing the aviation, construction and chemical industry sectors. These studies employed various tools involving questionnaires, qualitative techniques and structured interviews to determine CSFs. The identified CSFs primarily revolved around internal factors such as management commitment and leadership, cost and resource allocation and employee participation. These CSFs can serve as key areas to support the effective implementation of OSHMS and organisations can focus to improve their own internal factors to enhance their OSHMS implementation and ensure the safety, health, and well-being of their workers. This review provides valuable insights for organisations seeking a scalable framework for guiding OSHMS implementation basedon the identified CSFs.
