“…Work-related accidents have a huge impact on the individual, the employer and the state as sick absences incur costs for the employer and the state: a direct impact on the social security system and, indirectly, on productivity and competitiveness [2]. Estimates of the cost of work-related accidents and diseases are between 1.8% and 6% of GDP [3].…”

Demographic data shows the population is ageing, and consequently we are seeing an ageing workforce. Even though the effectiveness of older workers is not in question, older workers are suffering from age-related conditions, diseases and injuries. Measures that prevent health problems throughout the working life are crucial to reduce the amount of sickness and absence in order to avail an early return to work. Established methodologies in which work disability is well defined are the foundation for successful interventions. Research shows that measures to reduce absenteeism and a faster return to work are mostly organizational in nature. Therefore, these are mainly management tasks. Article present an array of interventions that are supported by various studies and recommendations by several European government and non-government organisations that demonstrate efficiency by reducing the amount of absence and facilitate an early return to work. The study verifies perception of suggested interventions between the Slovenian workforces.

“…The fatality rate dropped from 9.3 per 100 000 employees in 1990 to 3.8 in 1996, which means a 59% decline (Glavaski et al, 2003). In Slovenia, the most of industrialized part of the area, both the fatal and the non-fatal occupational accident rate had dropped significantly since the early 1960s, but in the 1990s no obvious declining trend was seen (Pavlic et al, 2011). In 2000, 25 940 work injuries and 26 fatalities were reported in Slovenia, which means that the fatality and non-fatality rates were at the European Union level (Bilban, 2005).…”
