“…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). Some recent published papers address the OHSMS in an International Journal of Occupational and Environmental Safety, 1:1 (2017) 11-28 13 integrated context and other dissect some pertinent and relevant IT issues aiming at a successful management of the system of systems.…”

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.

“…Para ello, los indicadores deben dar cuenta de la evolución de las actividades y de su impacto sobre la población trabajadora y no centrarse exclusivamente en la presencia de eventos negativos como incidentes, accidentes, enfermedades profesionales, incapacidades, sino que deben considerarse aquellos dirigidos a la prevención y a otros aspectos que en la actualidad no son tangibles, como el presentismo laboral (Rodríguez, 2012 Carlucci (2010), la selección de los indicadores debe considerar la pertinencia, fiabilidad, comparabilidad y coherencia, comprensibilidad y la calidad de la representación. Para Mohammadfam et al (2016), las organizaciones deben plantear indicadores clave de GSST, con el ánimo de garantizar una gestión estructurada y sistemática (política, planeación, implementación y operación, revisión y revisión por la dirección) para el control del riesgo en SST.…”

“…Se encontró que los factores más influyentes que deben tenerse en cuenta para mejorar la efectividad de la norma OHSAS 18001 son el compromiso de la dirección, la participación de los trabajadores, la asignación de los recursos financieros, la formación, la evaluación de riesgos, la responsabilidad definitiva, la comunicación y la difusión de las actividades y de los resultados de salud y seguridad ocupacional (Mohammadfam et al, 2016).…”

Este artículo tiene como finalidad presentar los resultados de una revisión de literatura cuyo propósito fue identificar variables y dimensiones para la medición de la madurez de la gestión de la seguridad y salud en el trabajo. La revisión de la literatura realizada sobre 38 artículos publicados entre 2001-2017 en ScienceDirect, EBSCO, Eric y Redalyc y 6 documentos detectados a través de búsqueda iterativa, permitió identificar 10 dimensiones agrupadas en 3 variables que pueden contribuir en la medición de la madurez de esta gestión, a saber: contexto interno, contexto externo y el enfoque de la seguridad y salud en el trabajo (concebido como estrategia central).

In this study, researchers designed a functional decision supporting model for workplaces for managers and showed its application by implementing it in health, safety and environment fields. Researchers used Excel software to demonstrate the ease of use of this method. This model is designed to help managers for decision-making to select and allocate resources to optimize risk of irreversible and unacceptable risks. In this regard, detailed quantitative risk assessment methods and techniques AHP expert’s extraction, classification and has been structured; to help managing workplaces risks and reducing the effects other than representing the applications of multi-criteria decision making techniques especially Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) technique, and in the end, to attribute resources in the best possible way. This model comes as a decision support system and is used to ease, the accuracy of decisions and reassuring them. This study suggests the use of multi-criteria decision-making techniques in large-scale projects and organizational risk management process for managers and reassuring them in terms of efficiency and effectiveness of steps taken to reduce and control occupational risks in the workplace and promise reduction irreparable effects for both organizations and for society, and to optimize the allocation of limited resources of organization. To carry out all stages of computational and analytic hierarchy process technique, Excel software was used in this study to show that this technique with capacity is also applicable in various companies.
