“…Dicha reducción es mayor si los delegados de prevención, además, están sindicalizados (Reilly et alii, 1995;Nichols et alii, 2007;Robinson y Smallman, 2013). Asimismo, investigaciones comparadas entre países europeos han hallado una relación inversa entre la tasa de afiliación sindical y los niveles de incidencias originadas en accidentes de trabajo (Rueda, 2004;Payá y Beneyto, 2018). La presencia sindical garantiza una reducción de la accidentalidad laboral, tanto en las empresas más grandes como en las pequeñas.…”

La desregulación y precarización del mercado de trabajo ha derivado en un incremento de los riesgos y enfermedades de origen psicosocial en Europa en general, y en España en particular. Ante tal contexto, el objetivo de la presente investigación es evaluar el impacto de la representación sindical especializada (delegados de prevención) sobre la implementación de medidas de prevención de riesgos psicosociales en las empresas. A tal efecto, utilizamos la Segunda Encuesta Europea de Empresas sobre Riesgos Nuevos y Emergentes (ESENER 2 - España 2014). Comparamos los indicadores de gestión de riesgos psicosociales con la presencia o ausencia de delegados de prevención en las empresas. Estimamos las odds ratio a través de regresiones logísticas binarias ajustadas mediante variables sociodemográficas. Los resultados obtenidos muestran que en los centros de trabajo que cuentan con delegados de prevención se realiza con mayor prevalencia evaluaciones de riesgos psicosociales, tanto en aspectos relacionales como organizativos. También la presencia de delegados de prevención se relaciona positivamente con el establecimiento de planes y procedimientos para evitar el estrés laboral, así como amenazas, insultos o agresiones. Asimismo, promueve la formación y asesoramiento a los trabajadores ante dichos riesgos, y favorece la existencia de mecanismos para la resolución de conflictos. Pese a encontrar evidencia empírica de un impacto positivo de los delegados de prevención, se han identificado diferentes factores coyunturales, legales e institucionales que socavan los recursos de poder sindical (estructural, asociativo, institucional y social) y debilitan dicha correlación.

“…Esta combinación produce efectos ambivalentes porque, por un lado, garantiza una elevada cobertura de los convenios colectivos, pero, por otro lado, activa el efecto free rider, que desincentiva la afiliación y participación. Por ello, resulta más sensible al impacto de la crisis económica y los cambios políticos (Beneyto, 2018).…”

“…This situation leads to less effectiveness of prevention delegates when they are part of unitary representation than when they are members of a union [41,42]. Spain is a clear example of a labour relations system based on worker representation through unitary prevention delegates [58,59]. Comparative European studies show that, while Anglo-Saxon systems of labour relations are characterised by voluntary systems with decentralised self-regulation and based on a high level of trade union pluralism derived from the single channel (trade union) of representation in the workplace, the countries of the Mediterranean are institutionalised countries with a high level of state intervention, and, therefore, the system of representation of interests has a double channel (trade union and unitary), but the system revolves around the electoral route (unitary representation), which allows the representation of interests to be expanded for non-unionised workers.…”

“…In fact, in Spain, representation doubles the number of union members, with a union affiliation rate of 18.9%, while elected personnel delegates (unitary representation) increase representation to 53% of the active population [61]. The different systems of general representation influence the system of occupational health and safety representation, so that in Anglo-Saxon countries prevention delegates are elected by the unions themselves and from among union members, while in Mediterranean countries prevention delegates are elected by direct vote of the workers or from the unitary representation (personnel delegates) [58]. In the case of Spain, Article 35.2 of the LPRL [1] states that "the Prevention Delegates shall be appointed by and from among the staff representatives", that is, a system of unitary prevention delegates is clearly established.…”

The aim of this research was to study the impact of the unitary prevention delegates (UPDs) on the Spanish working environment. To this end, a cross-sectional study was carried out using microdata from the National Survey on Health and Safety Management in Companies (ENGE-2009) with a sample of 5147 work centres. To measure the relationship between the presence of UPD in workplaces with preventive management indicators and damage to health, individual and multiple logistic regression models were carried out, calculating the crude (cOR) and adjusted (aOR) odds ratios by sociodemographic covariates, with their corresponding 95% confidence intervals (95% CI). Ambivalent results were obtained. On the one hand, a positive impact of the UPDs was found, in the management of prevention showing a higher probability of prevention plans being carried out (aOR = 3.97; 95% CI: 3.26–4.83), risk assessments (aOR = 5.96; 95% CI: 4.44–8.01) and preventive actions were planned (aOR = 3.01; 95% CI: 2.55–3.56), as well as 1.56 times less likely to register minor occupational accidents (aOR = 0.64; 95% CI: 0.53–0.76). On the other hand, the presence of the UPDs did not promote the activation of a participatory culture and did not reduce the probability of suffering serious and fatal accidents at work. In conclusion, UPDs need to activate workers’ participation to improve results.

Workers' safety in the workplace depends on the compliance of both employees and the employer with applicable regulations. The EU member states in internal law contain regulations in line with EU directives in this area. The author of this study decided to examine whether compliance by the employer with health and safety provisions is an element motivating employees to take up employment. he law applies to both employees and employers, but their content is not affected by any of the parties to the employment relationship. The purpose of the article was to answer the question whether compliance by the employer with health and safety at work rules is an element that influences the employee when making a decision about taking up employment. The method used was the diagnostic survey method and the survey tool. The research was conducted in 102 facilities-enterprises in the Silesian Voivodeship employing at least 20 employees. The respondents were employees within the meaning of the Labor Code who declared knowledge of basic regulations in the field of occupational health and safety. The unambiguous lack of impact of compliance with the health and safety at work regulations by the employer on the decision on employment was indicated by 29.3% of respondents, while 60.8% of all respondents declared such an impact. Among the surveyed employees there was a group of undecided people,
