Analysis of optimization of labor protection measures aimed at improving workplace conditions

Abstract

The article describes occupational safety measures that should be planned on the basis of management theory, which uses a systematic approach to develop goals, criteria, methods and controls. The methodology of the systematic approach allows revealing the internal connections of the process under study, determining the main functions of management. By striving to comply with such requirements, organizations improve the conditions in which their production is performed. In the effort to incorporate essential principles into their systems, employers can benefit from applying the ISO 45001 standard, which defines the systemic requirements that must be embraced in their business in the same manner as the requirements adopted in any other field of activity, such as production quality. The article refers to standards derived from ISO 45001 that facilitate manufacturing improvements. It outlines the impact of systemic enhancements on workers’ ability to perform work safely.
