“…It helps to determine whether it is possible to use the tool to evaluate six elements that can contribute to improving the condition of working environment. These elements are: senior management competence, risk management, training, the competence of production managers, safe behavior and the prevention of accidents using the continuous improvement approach [8,[9][10][11][12][13].…”

The critical review presents an analysis of foreign studies designed to assess the state of working conditions. The aim of the work is to identify the main areas of research that can be adapted for Russian enterprises. It was found that there are several foreign instruments for assessing the state of working conditions, on the basis of which a new methodology applicable to Russian enterprises can be formed, which will greatly contribute to the prevention of accidents at the workplace.

“…The level reached during the analysis period was over 2.4 million accidents. The lowest number of work accidents was recorded in forestry and logging [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]. From the perspective of the fields of activity where these non-fatal accidents had occurred, the main sectors of activity considered for evaluation were agriculture; industry and construction (except mining); services of the business economy; agriculture, forestry, and fishing; crop and animal production; hunting and related service activities; and forestry and logging.…”

The rate of occupational accidents is increasing, leading to a number of organizational deficiencies. For European Union (EU), the non-fatal accident number in 2017 was 3,315,101. An increase in the number of accidents is recorded in many of the member states. In addition, the increase in accidents tends to focus on certain sectors and is due more to the increase in the incidence rate than the increase in the workforce. Companies in these industry sectors have also implemented less intensive prevention practices than firms in other sectors. Performing a statistical evaluation of non-fatal and fatal accidents is an important one. This assessment helps managers understand the importance of implementing prevention and control methods across organizations. For this research, we used series of data obtained from the Romanian National Institute of Statistics (NIS), Labor Inspection in Romania, and Eurostatof the European Commission. Data series evaluations were conducted for the EU and Romania. A qualitative assessment of the industry data series had been carried out. Furthermore, T-tests and analysis of variance analysis (ANOVA) were performed to identify the relationships between the frequency index of fatal and non-fatal accidents, and the categories chosen. The values obtained for men were significantly higher than those of female workers. Based on the results of the qualitative assessment and European and national strategies, an experimental model for the prevention and control of occupational accidents is proposed. At the end of the paper, the situation of labor accidents in Romania and Bulgaria, two EU member states, is assessed in the agriculture, forestry and fishing, manufacturing, construction and transport, and storage sectors. A series of trends are presented for the period 2018–2020. The results obtained from the evaluation of the data series represent an important core of the Romanian Labor Inspectorate for the development of strategic actions.

“…In spite of the new legislative frameworks and standards implemented, occupational health and safety (OHS) status and performance remain subject to a wide range of interpretations, which is sometimes unhelpful. Based on the literature in this field, a consensus on how OHS performance should be defined has been slow to materialize [1]. Some authors focus on the maintenance of injury-free status over long periods of time or on an aptness to prevent occupational injuries or illness [2,3].…”

In industrialized nations, occupational health and safety (OHS) has been a growing concern in many businesses for at least two decades. Legislation, regulation, and standards have been developed in order to provide organizations with a framework for practicing accident and illness prevention and placing worker well-being at the center of production system design. However, the occurrence of several accidents continues to show that OHS performance evaluation is subject to interpretation. In this review of the literature, we outline the scope of current research on OHS status and performance evaluation and comment on the suitability of the instruments being proposed for field use. This study is based on a keyword-based bibliographical search in the largest scientific databases and OHS-related websites, which allowed us to identify 15 OHS performance evaluation tools. Our principal conclusion is that researchers in the field have shown little interest in generalizing the instruments of OHS performance evaluation and that none of the 15 tools examined is properly applicable to any real organization outside of the sector of activity, economic scale, and jurisdiction for which it was designed.
