Evaluation of success factors of occupational health and safety management systems with the analytical hierarchy process: the case of ground handling companies in Turkey

Ground handling companies (GHCs) have the highest potential for occupational accidents in the air transportation sector. Understanding the success factors of occupational health and safety management systems (OHSMSs) implemented by GHCs ensures effective and efficient use of resources. Knowing the relative importance of success factors will enable companies to focus their energies on the most important factors. The analytic hierarchy process was used to determine the relative importance of success factors. The data of the study were obtained through a questionnaire survey of participants working as occupational safety and health (OSH) managers in GHCs operating in Turkey. According to the results of the study, the most critical success factor is ‘top management support’, followed by ‘positive safety culture’. The differentiating result of the research from the literature is that ‘OSH professionals’ ranks third as an important success factor. Other success factors include ‘OHSMS practices’, ‘stakeholder attitudes and characteristics’ and ‘regulations’.

PROBLEMS OF ANALYZING OCCUPATIONAL INJURIES IN THE LIGHT AND TEXTILE INDUSTRIES

Problem statement. One of the main functions of the occupational health and safety management system at enterprises is to analyze occupational injuries and diseases that occur to employees as a result of their work duties in the event of an inadequate state of occupational health and safety at the enterprise. The light and textile industry in Ukraine is characterized by uncertain working conditions, as it is mostly based on small enterprises. The lack of analysis of occupational injuries and their causes complicates the process of developing occupational safety and health measures for enterprises operating in the light and textile industry, respectively. The purpose of the article is to identify the reasons for the complication of the process of analyzing occupational injuries and the issues of analyzing the causes of injuries in the light and textile industries. Conclusions. The analysis of occupational injuries in the light and textile industry has revealed an upward trend in the number of accidents in this sector. Given that over the past four years, the State Statistics Service has not separated the light industry into a separate statistical data collection point, this makes it more difficult to analyze injuries in this area. It was also found that during 2020−2024, the State Labor Service registered fatal and group accidents that were not related to work in the light and textile industry, but were classified as such because the production itself is engaged in light industry. At the same time, the type of work performed by the victim is more likely to be classified as construction or cargo rather than tailoring. The analysis identified the main problems that prevent the identification of the exact causes of accidents in the light and textile industry.

Characteristics and Trends of Workplace Violence towards Frontline Health Workers under Comprehensive Interventions in a Chinese Infectious Disease Hospital.

This study investigated workplace violence (WPV) toward frontline health workers under comprehensive interventions to improve the occupational safety and health management system in a Chinese infectious disease hospital. The risk assessment of WPV using an international questionnaire was conducted in 2018 and 2021 to compare the perceived levels of exposure to WPV and intervention measures before and after the intensification of anti-violence measures in the hospital context. Additionally, qualitative data were collected in 2021 through semi-structured and unstructured interviews, providing complementary information about WPV toward frontline health workers (HWs). After establishing the occupational safety and health management system (OSHMS), the total incidence rate of WPV decreased from 60.90% in 2018 to 34.44% in 2021. Psychological violence declined significantly from 60.90% in 2018 to 33.89% in 2021. The endorsement of precautionary measures increased significantly from 2018 to 2021, including patient screening recognition, patient protocol, shift or rota changes, etc. A thematic analysis of several subthemes shows that HWs had an in-depth understanding of WPV, recognizing its multifaceted consequences in the context of complex risk factors. This study demonstrates a significant decrease in WPV, psychological violence, verbal abuse, bullying/mobbing, and ethnic discrimination after implementing the comprehensive OSHMS.

Criminal Liability by the Company in the Implementation of Occupational Safety and Health Management System

The purpose of this research is to find out how companies can be held accountable for their violations of the occupational safety and health management system. This research was conducted qualitatively using empirical data and legal sources of legislation. This research was conducted at the South Sulawesi Provincial Manpower Office and BPJS Employment Makassar City Branch. The results show that businesses can be criminally liable if they commit errors or omissions, such as not reporting work accidents, not registering employees in the BPJS employment social security program, and not having OHS certification for employees and operators. Criminal liability accepted by organisations includes imprisonment. In addition to criminal penalties, companies may also face administrative reprimands or fines. If companies do not implement an Occupational Safety and Health Management System, they must receive a warning. If the company does not follow the warning, the Indonesian Law No. 8 of 1981 on Criminal Procedure Law will be applied, in accordance with the provisions in PERMA No. 13 of 2016 on Procedures for Handling Criminal Cases by Companies. Companies that do not implement the Occupational Safety and Health Management System will be subject to imprisonment for a maximum of 3 months according to Article 15 of Law No. 1 of 1970 on Occupational Safety and Article 186 of Law No. 13 of 2003 on Labour.

Sampling targets to assess occupational health in occupational health and safety management system audits: a mixed-methods research in Japan.

Occupational health and safety management systems (OHSMS) are the foundation of occupational health and safety activities within an organization. An important element of these systems is audits. However, OHSMS auditors often lack confidence in conducting occupational health audits compared with their proficiency in conducting occupational safety audits. For occupational health to be effectively managed by OHSMS, the sampling competence of auditors engaged in third-party audits should be improved. Therefore, we conducted this study to identify appropriate sampling targets for occupational health related to International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 45001. We adopted a mixed methods approach to identify appropriate sampling targets. This involved conducting focus group discussions with experts in occupational health and performing systematic text condensation analysis. The validity of our findings was further reinforced through confirmation by external auditors who specialize in ISO 45001. In the qualitative phase, 6 occupational health sampling targets were identified, and of these, 5 were subsequently validated in the quantitative phase: (1) Health issues, legal requirements, and occupational health goals identified by the organization; (2) Occupational health risk assessment and control processes; (3) Processes related to occupational health and documented information showing the results of efforts; (4) Organizational roles and functions of occupational health professionals and opportunities for their professional development; and (5) Processes to ensure commitment to occupational health issues and objectives. To ensure effective and comprehensive occupational health audits, auditors should review these targets. This study will enhance the competence of auditors by identifying appropriate occupational health sampling targets.

Workplace Hazard Identification through Near-Miss Reports: A Social Network Analysis

Occupational Safety and Health (OHS) is an effort to create a safe and healthy working environment. The company, which is engaged in power generation, experienced many near-miss cases from 2016 to 2023. Near-miss incidents are an early signal of the potential for severe accidents in the future if not resolved immediately. Identifying and addressing potential hazards early is necessary to prevent fatal work accidents. This study aims to analyze the reporting pattern of near-miss incidents by company employees through the IZAT application (Zero et al.) with a social network analysis (SNA) approach. This method identifies relationships and interaction patterns between employees in reporting near-miss incidents, thus revealing objects that need special attention. Data was obtained from September 2020 to July 2023. The analysis showed that 276 employees actively reported various near-miss incidents through IZAT (Zero Accident Assistant Application). This pattern reflects employees' sensitivity to potential hazards in their work environment. The findings of this study make a positive contribution to the improvement of the occupational safety and health management system in the company regarding the mitigation of potential hazards based on incoming report data. The recommendations provided are related to occupational safety aspects that need to be prioritized for management improvement. The implication of this research is to increase employee awareness in identifying and reporting potential hazards so as to prevent work accidents in the future.

Green Occupational Health, Safety and Performance of Devolved Healthcare Services in Kenya

Green human resource management is the adoption of policies and practices to attain sustainable use of a firm's resources while enhancing environmental sustainability, which also boosts employee morale and satisfaction with firm performance. Level Five hospitals in Kenya are increasingly expected by law to implement environmentally sustainable practices. This study aimed to determine the effect of green occupational safety and health on the performance of devolved healthcare services in Kenya. A mixed-methods research design was used, whereby the researchers combined the elements of quantitative and qualitative approaches. The study targeted 5,960 employees working in 12 Level 5 hospitals in Kenya. This study applied multi-stage random sampling, which refers to dividing the population into units or smaller and smaller groups and selecting the sample (Kothari, 2019). In the first stage, simple random sampling was used to select four of the 12 Level Five hospitals with an accessible population of 1310. In the second stage, purposive sampling was used to select a sample of 131 respondents, representing 10% of the accessible population (Mugenda & Mugenda, 2013). Data collection tools were questionnaires, interviews, and document analysis. Quantitative data was analyzed descriptively and inferentially while qualitative data was subjected to content analysis. The findings revealed a strong positive and significant relationship between green occupational safety and health and the performance of devolved healthcare services in Kenya. The study concluded that green occupational safety and health had a significant effect on the performance of devolved healthcare services. The study recommended that devolved healthcare services should improve if they continuously used green occupational safety and health management systems that reduce accidents and injuries; utilized paperless offices so as to create a clean and safe work environment; applied eco-friendly medical waste disposal methods such as waste minimization, segregation, and recycling; used eco-friendly safety gadgets; and conducted regular safety and health audits.

The subject matter of the article is the assessment of the quality of the occupational safety management system. The goal of the article is to develop a methodology for assessment of the occupational safety management system at the stage of operation. The article solves the following task: to investigate the possibility of applying methods for analysing the dynamic characteristics of the occupational safety management system and to develop algorithms and methods for using the criteria of non-parametric statistics. Methods are used: qualimetry and mathematical statistics. The following results were obtained: an analysis of the requirements of the international standard ISO 45001:2018 was carried out to determine the need to monitor, measure and analyse the functioning of the occupational safety management system, which revealed that the effectiveness of the development and implementation of the occupational safety management system depends on the assessment methodology. An analysis of existing research and publications on the evaluation of processes, including those related to occupational safety, is carried out. The methods for evaluating mathematical systems for processing and controlling gross errors and stationarity, which are key to the analysis of occupational safety management processes, are considered. Non-parametric criteria for checking the stationarity of random processes are considered in detail. Sequences of means and means squares are compared with expected values to determine whether rejections of the stationary hypothesis are justified. The expediency of using these methods for analysing occupational safety management systems is determined. The dynamic nature of the processes and the importance of monitoring and data analysis to ensure effective safety management practices are analysed. Conclusions: The application of methods for analysing the dynamic characteristics of the occupational safety management system is substantiated and algorithms and methods for using the criteria of non-parametric statistics are developed, which allow to obtain an assessment of the system, taking into account the limited information about its indicators and the lack of knowledge of the law of their distribution as a random variable.
