“…Apparently, one reason is that the industrial organizations present more dangerous working conditions in comparison with other corporations (for example due to the existence of heavy machines in the production procedure) [9,44]. Moreover, it is apparent that the construction sector is following, due to the greatest number of occurring incidents.…”

“…The sector of "Industry" (with 28%) and also the "Construction" (with 16%), accounted for the highest percentage, as far as the usage of OHSMS standards is concerned, presumably because their work conditions are more unstable and dangerous in comparison with other occupational sectors (e.g., telecomunications). In addition, these sectors are very hazardous worldwide, owing to their unique dynamic nature, poor conditions and tough environment [44,50].…”

International Occupational Health and Safety Management-Systems Standards as a Frame for the Sustainability: Mapping the Territory

et al. 2018

A significant part of literature has shown that the adoption of Sustainability and Health-Safety management systems from organizations bears some substantial benefits since such systems (i) create a suitable frame for the sustainable development, implementation and review of the plans and/or processes, necessary to manage occupational health-safety (OHS) in their workplaces and (ii) imply innovative thinking and practices in fields of economics, policy-making, legislation, health and education. To this context, the paper targets at analysing current sustainability and OHSMSs in order to make these issues more comprehend, clear and functional for scholars and practitioners. Therefore, a literature survey has been conducted to map the territory by focusing on two interrelated tasks. The first one includes the presentation of the main International Management Systems (IMS) with focus on Sustainability and OHS (S_OHSMS) topics and the second task depicts a statistical analysis of the literature-review findings (for the years 2006-2017). In particular, the main purposes of the literature research were: (i) the description of key points of OHSMS and sustainability standards, (ii) the comparative analysis of their characteristics, taking into account several settled evaluation-criteria and (iii) the statistical analysis of the survey's findings, while our study's primary aim is the reinforcement of OHMSs' application in any organization. The results evince, that the field of industry (with 28%) and also of the constructions (with 16%), concentrate the highest percentage of OHSMS use. In general, there were only few publications including OHSMSs (referred to various occupational fields) available in the scientific literature (during 2006-2017) but on the other hand, there was a gradually increasing scientific interest for these standards (especially during 2009-2012).

“…Two significant methodologies (adapted from the scientific litterature), as well as a combined analysis (joint analysis) of their results, are used for this purpose (see the flowchart of Figure 1). The first one, is the Proportional Risk Assessment Technique (PRAT) (see [16], [1], [2], [3], [5]) and the second one, is the analysis of Time Series Processes (TSP), concerning occupational accidents (see [4], [5]).…”

“…The "TSP" technique belongs to the stochastic approaches, and more specifically in the category of accident prediction models, and uses actual accident data to predict future outcomes [4]. The main tools used in the time series analysis are: the graph analysis, the µ-average analysis, the current-average analysis, the trend analysis, the periodicities-analysis, etc.…”

The first one, is the Proportional Risk Assessment Technique (PRAT) (see [1], [2], [3]) and the second one, is the analysis of Time Series Processes (TSP), concerning occupational accidents (see [4], [5]). In addition, a combined analysis of these techniques is attempted, in order to extract useful findings, that will improve safety levels at construction sites.…”

The subject of this work is the risk assessment, concentrating on the constructions' workplaces of EU countries. Two significant methodologies (adapted from the scientific litterature), as well as a combined elaboration (joint analysis) of their results, are used for this purpose. The first one, is the Proportional Risk Assessment Technique (PRAT) (see [1], [2], [3]) and the second one, is the analysis of Time Series Processes (TSP) (see [4], [5]), concerning occupational accidents. In particular, real data of occupational accidents in Greece, Cyprus, France, Germany and Spain, are analyzed (PRAT-TSP joint analysis). These data have been collected from different official State sources or databases, throughout various time intervals, namely: (i) for Greece by "SEPE" (Labor Inspectorate, Ministry of Employment) regarding the years 2001-2011 (ii) for Cyprus by the "Department of Labor Inspection of Cyprus" (DLIC) concerning the years 2003-2011 and (iii) for the countries Greece, France, Germany and Spain from the "Eurostat" database covering the period 1996-2007. The relevant results, show that the estimated value for the magnitude of risk (R) in the worksites of the constructions sector (Constructions and Public Works) is, in some cases, greater than 200, that proves, according to the scientific litterature, the necessity of taking measures no later than one year, in order to downgrade the direct risk of arising fatal accidents.
