“…The implementation of OHS within organizations must also consider current conditions. The implications of OHS and COVID-19 are presented in Table 2 (as a synthesis of [45][46][47]). An evaluation of the basic conditions related to OHS in the COVID-19 conditions was performed, followed by an attribution of responsibility for OHS directions to specific stakeholders.…”

“…Although during past decades, new paths for improving OHS have been explored, with an increased focus on organizational stakeholders and their management, at an operational level, OHS has been lagging both in terms of investment and result improvement. It should be reminded that workplace fatality rate has reached a frightening point [1]: approximately, 2.3 million employees lose their lives and more than 1.9 million face severe injuries because of uncertainty and lack of safety procedures [2]. These figures show accidents still happen in workplaces, and a significant cause is a human error [3].…”

BACKGROUND: The recent COVID-19 pandemic has brought Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) to the forefront of governmental and organizational preoccupations. Empirical research has pointed that OHS responsibility is diffused within organizations, and there is no apparent reference on whom it falls upon; even the OHSAS 18001:2007 (OHSAS 18001, 2007) standard framework generates the same confusion among organizational stakeholders. OBJECTIVE: When constituting an internal chain of responsibility, which organizational stakeholder should be responsible for each item of the OHSAS 18001:2007? The article considers how OHS tasks can be addressed from the perspective of stakeholder management. The objective is to consider the internal division of OHS responsibility between the hierarchical strata and to introduce an OHS Responsibility Multilevel Model for an organization’s internal responsibility system for the implementation of the OHSAS 18001:2007 standard. METHODS: The paper presents a qualitative assessment of the literature on the concepts of responsibility and accountability regarding OHS. First method applied was the literature review on the concepts of responsibility and accountability regarding OHS, while briefly discussing their impacts on the voluntary implementation of OHSAS 18001:2007 standard. Second, the OHS and the conditions of the COVID-19 period were synthesised to underline the research motivation and importance. Further the conceptual framework for the internal division of OHS responsibility based on a Multilevel Model for OHS stakeholders was developed based on a creative designed approach considering recent conclusions on safety leadership (OHS being situated at the confluence of top-down and bottom-up approaches in organization). RESULTS: The research results underline the relative complexity of the items in the OHSAS 18001:2007 framework; from the 68 items that are comprised under the six themes, the authors have identified 304 distinct actions. The application of the proposed OHS Responsibility Multilevel Model to the OHSAS 18001:2007 supports the interest that research literature has had for the role of top management in OHS. CONCLUSIONS: Overall, the research results propose a novel approach for improving stakeholders’ involvement (commitment) and responsibility regarding OHS practices in organization. The research findings highlight that the OHSAS 18001:2007 standard proposes the organization as primary repository of OHS responsibility.

“…Past research shows that there are more individuals with repetitive injuries associated with stress and gender than expected by chance alone. Research reports indicate that the majority of accidents occur at the workplace (1,2). Safety management decisions must be made for selecting and prioritizing problem areas as well as safety system weaknesses based on the recognition of hazards encountered in each activity of the process so as to reduce occupational accidents.…”

Article Info Background:The number of occupational safety incidents has been a major concern in terms of human, economic, and legal considerations. Risk assessment is a logical method for the assessment of risks, which specifies risks and their potential implications for individuals, materials, equipment, and the environment. This study aims to identify both risks and risk assessment methods at a highway construction site using the FMEA method and by drawing safety contour maps, making use of ArcGIS 10.2. Materials and Methods: This study was conducted in 9 general steps, including 1. Reviewing demographic data, 2. Identifying human risks, 3. Identifying risk causes, 4. Identifying risk effects, 5. Determining the severity and occurrence of risks, 6. Rating risks, 7. Controlling risks, 8. Entering the coordinates and RPNs of occupations for each location in ArcGIS, and 9. Drawing safety contour maps using ArcGIS 10.2. The mean and standard deviation of the data were reported using SPSS Statistics V 22.0. Results: At the site of this study, 62.97% of the units had moderate risks, and the rest had low risks (37.03%). The highest RPNs were for light machines and asphalt rollers with the values of 42.91 and 41.3, respectively. In contrast, the lowest RPNs were obtained for the laboratory and the water supply plant. Conclusions: Most of the site units had moderate risks, so it is expected that the risk of the units would be minimized by implementing the recommendations.
