“…A preocupação de se elaborar um material simples e conciso também está ligada à uma afirmação de Micheli et al (2019) que nas MPEs em geral, os proprietários afirmam não ter tempo suficiente para tratar de aspectos de SSO, quando comparados com desafios mais imediatos. Reforçando este ponto, Ozmec et al (2015), afirmam que pequenas empresas geralmente são gerenciadas pelos donos, que são responsáveis por diferentes tarefas simultâneas (planejamento, administração, contabilidade, licitações, trabalho prático junto com os funcionários, entre outras).…”

O objetivo deste trabalho é apresentar um Manual orientativo para propiciar, aos proprietários de Micro ou Pequena Empresa, um guia para implementação de um Sistema de Gestão de Segurança e Saúde Ocupacional Simplificado. A elaboração do Manual baseou-se em uma pesquisa realizada especialmente para este trabalho, nas preocupações manifestadas por empresários e na Norma International Standardization Organization 45001:2018 (ISO 45001:2018). As principais etapas do trabalho compreenderam a realização da pesquisa, o desenvolvimento de questionário, a coleta e análise de dados, o estudo da ISO 45001 e a elaboração do Manual em si. O Manual desenvolvido pode ser aplicado à implementação de um Sistema de Gestão de Segurança e Saúde Ocupacional em Micro e Pequenas Empresas atuantes em qualquer setor.

“…Micheli et al (2019) a literatura mostra que pequenas indústrias tem uma média maior de acidentes do que as grandes, mas devido ao pequeno número de empregados nestas empresas, a quantidade de lesões é relativamente baixa. Por esta razão, frequentemente os proprietários podem subestimar os riscos nas suas empresas, o que piora as condições de SSO.…”

“…Masi et al [13] state that the OHS intervention process in SMEs tends to often be qualitative and experience-driven, while Garnica and Barriga [14] point out that managers and external stakeholders identify different barriers for OHS implementation beyond the lack of information, the first blaming workers for their lack of awareness and incorrect behaviour, the second citing ineffective management and resource allocation. Micheli et al [12] outlined that "the excess of external bureaucratic requirements" is one of the main barriers for SMEs. The role of the government in facilitating OHS implementation in SMEs is also highlighted by Wang et al [15] and Zhang et al [16], who argue that policy interventions should be improved and simplified.…”

About 67% of workers employed in the industrial and service sectors in the European Union are currently contracted by Small- and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs), which represent the economic heart of the European economy. However, this strength is counterbalanced by a considerably higher overall accident rate compared to Large Enterprises (LEs), and this trend seems to be confirmed worldwide. Moreover, most available tools for risk assessment and occupational health and safety (OHS) management are originally designed to fit the needs of LEs, resulting in a gap for SMEs. Therefore, the effective management of OHS in SMEs has become a crucial issue for researchers, practitioners and policymakers, aiming to improve the social and economic sustainability of small companies. The main purpose of this study is to provide guidelines to implement effective risk assessment processes and integrate them with OHS management systems in SMEs. A literature analysis of risk assessment and OHS management in SMEs highlights the main findings and gaps. Then, the three-phases methodology adopted is presented, outlining the main steps and outputs of the project. Finally, the web-based software tool for OHS risk analysis and management, designed to answer the specific needs of SMEs, is presented.

In recent years, China’s chemical industry has incurred frequent safety accidents which seriously impact the social environment and public safety. Traditional approaches have reached a bottleneck due to a lack of relevant professionals in the government regulation of chemical enterprise safety production. Thus, a new safety regulation mechanism should be conducted. In this paper, we constructed an evolutionary game model of chemical industry safety regulation based on limited rationality, and the influence of main parameters on the equilibrium evolution process is studied by system dynamics simulation. The results show that government regulation authorities play a leading role in the process of chemical industry safety regulation and increasing punishment will help to achieve an evolutionary stable strategy (ESS). What is more, the feasibility and effectiveness of the third-party regulation service mechanism are verified, and the market access threshold of third-party regulation service needs to be improved to stop the occurrence of rent-seeking activities in the regulatory process. In summary, the introduction of third-party regulation service entities to the chemical industry safety regulation process has far-reaching implications for promoting the healthy development of China’s chemical industry.
