“…The CMO-configuration 'learning' likewise shows that existing structures and resources determine whether implementation of OHSAS18001 leads to effective organizational learning and continuous improvement processes. Two of the included studies support this mechanism [9], [10]. The standard has a clear learning component in its 'continuous improvement' demands and processes.…”

The OHSAS18001standard was first published in 1999 by British Standards and is now the most widely adopted management systems for occupational health and safety worldwide. The standard is intended to support companies in attaining a higher health and safety standard. However, there is limited knowledge on how this standard in fact is working in practice and thus can improve health and safety at work.

“…Some papers (Fernández-Muñiz et al, 2012a;Santos et al, 2013) reported and stressed out the benefits collected from OHSMS implementation, the perceptions and attitudes from certified OHSMS companies regarding safety behaviour and its effectiveness (Robson et al, 2007;Chen and Li, 2012). Other papers focused on the assessment of the OHSMS (Abad et al, 2013;Inan et al, 2017), on the performance of the OHSMS (Azadeh et al, 2012.;Desa et al, 2013b;Lo et al, 2014), on the comparison between the OHSAS 18001 and national standards (Abidin and Irniza, 2015), between certified and non-certified companies concerning safety climate (Ghahramani, 2016) and point out and promote linkages between the OHSMS implementation with other constructs or aspects such as sustainability (Marhani et al, 2013;Qi et al, 2013), voluntary safety management (Paas et al, 2015), safety behaviour (Fernández-Muñiz et al, 2012b), participatory ergonomics (Yazdani et al, 2015), psychosocial risks (Jespersen et al, 2016), safety management (Vinodkumar and Bhasi, 2011), organizational learning (Granerud and Rocha, 2011;Silva et al, 2017) and decision making aiming at effectiveness improvement (Mohammadfam et al, 2016).

The systematic assurance of the occupational health, safety and wellbeing of the employees may be accomplished through the implementation (and certification) of standardized occupational health and safety management systems in accordance with the requirements listed in the BS OHSAS 18001 standard. In Portugal the certification of occupational health and safety management systems is usually carried out against the requirements of the BS OHSAS 18001 and the NP 4397 standard which is a national adaptation of the former. The purpose of this paper is to "snapshot" the diffusion of the certified occupational health and safety management systems in Portugal dissecting the following features: regional geographic location, integration phenomenon, evolution throughout the years, more involved activity sectors, more often found integrated management systems typologies and the most relevant and active certification bodies. To address this research goal a thorough, in-depth and comprehensive analysis of the data available in a Portuguese periodical publication (Barómetro da Certificação) was carried out. Results show that a great deal of the certified occupational health and safety management systems (96.3%) is integrated (in the sense that encompasses a multiple certification scheme). However the occupational health and safety management system is not typically the primordial subsystem of an integrated management system. In our view these results provide insights to the companies' top management. On one hand, it seems that a patterned and "logical" path is pursued by the companies that seek organizational excellence-management systems integration. On the other hand, it seems that previously implemented subsystems, such as the quality management system, facilitate a "smoother" integration process encompassing the occupational health and safety management system.

“…Also in other safety fields where individuals' behavior is a key element in reducing possible negative consequences of risks -such as for instance health safety and occupational safetyinsight in factors that stimulate the adoption of adequate risk behaviors is necessary. Since inadequate behavior of individuals in these fields might also lead to injuries and even fatalities (Eurostat, 2013;Silva et al, 2017), individuals should undertake self-protective actions in order to reduce potential negative risk outcomes.…”

Making it stick: Exploring the effects of information and behavioral training on self-protectiveness of citizens in a real-life safety setting

A B S T R A C TThis study contributes to our knowledge of whether and why citizens engage in self-protective behavior with regard to a real-life risk (the transportation of chemical substances by train). We assume that the way in which relevant risk information is processed, actively vs. passively, is a crucial factor. We hypothesize that behavioral training on self-protectiveness (the active approach) will increase respondents' perceived feasibility (self-efficacy) and the expected usefulness (response-efficacy) of risk-mitigating options to a larger extent than the passive approach (merely read about it). We subsequently propose that behaviorally trained participants will show more self-protectiveness than merely informed participants. Both groups are also compared to an uninformed control group.First, a behavioral-training-effectiveness-study was conducted in order to explore whether the training developed led to an increase in participants' efficacy beliefs and self-protectiveness (N = 47). Second, in our main study we took a random sample from the town's population (N = 614) and tested if the instructional method (behavioral training vs. information only vs. no information) is a predictor of efficacy beliefs and self-protectiveness.As expected, the instructional method used and the level of perceived response-efficacy positively influence self-protectiveness. Behaviorally trained respondents perceived risk mitigating options as more useful and showed more self-protectiveness than merely informed and uninformed participants. Furthermore, responseefficacy turned out to be a partial mediator between instructional method and self-protectiveness. Self-efficacy did not significantly predict self-protectiveness in this study.This study demonstrates that using appropriate risk communication tools is crucial in order to increase selfprotective behavior of citizens.
