“…It also helps reduce the number of people missing work due to sickness and/or work-related accidents and decreases the number of deaths, which, in turn, boosts productivity in Colombia. Moreover, it ensures that companies and contractors meet the standards and requirements needed for the effective management of work-related risks (Zhao and Jiang, 2020;Rikhotso et al, 2022). It is essential to highlight that Decree 1072 of 2015, issued by the Ministry of Labor, establishes that the Occupational Health and Safety Management System (OHSMS) is a logical and staged process based on continuous improvement.…”

Today, many organizations are seeking to implement continuous improvement plans not only to achieve greater economic benefits but also to improve the quality of life for their employees. The importance of reducing and preventing workplace accidents, protecting the health and well-being of employees, and preventing work-related illnesses has increased. This article focuses on the development of an Occupational Health and Safety Management System (OHSMS) for an organization in the real estate and property development services sector in Bogotá. The design of the OHSMS is based on the identification of the deficiencies of the current system and the proposal of continuous improvement, according to the ISO 45001: 2018 standard. The design process included three stages of research: 1. initial diagnosis, 2. hazard and risk assessment, and 3. management system performance assessment with appropriate controls and indicators. This article evaluates working conditions in production and in enclosed spaces, such as offices. The integration of these aspects ensures a comprehensive vision of occupational health and safety in real estate and property development companies. The design of the OHSMS is an essential step towards the continuous improvement of working conditions and the well-being of employees. Compliance with the ISO 45001: 2018 standard aims to ensure a safe and healthy working environment for all members of the organization.

“…This can be realized by providing Occupational Safety and Health materials in the chemical laboratory. Occupational Safety and Health are important to be implemented in the laboratory to prevent and reduce the risk of work accidents due to the lack of awareness of laboratory managers on the implementation of Occupational Safety and Health and laboratory infrastructure that is not following Occupational Health and Safety requirements, resulting in work accidents (Cahyaningrum, 2020;Rikhotso et al, 2022). Occupational Health and Safety requires special attention because Occupational Health and Safety is one form of effort to create a workplace that is safe, healthy, and free from environmental pollution to reduce and or be free from work accidents and occupational diseases, which in turn can improve work efficiency and productivity.…”

Chemical education laboratories have a higher risk of work accidents than laboratories for industrial activities. Many work accidents occur in chemical laboratories. Two factors that cause work accidents are unsafe behavior and unsafe conditions. Occupational safety and health in the laboratory are crucial to creating a comfortable, safe work environment to prevent or minimize workplace accidents. This study aims to produce a handbook of occupational safety and health in chemical laboratories as a guiding supplement for chemistry practicum to create occupational safety and health in chemical laboratories. This research is a research and development (r&d) with a 4-d development model consisting of 4 main stages: define, design, develop and disseminate. Research is limited to the development stage, which ends with a practicality test. Based on expert judgment, it was found that the occupational safety and health handbook in the chemical laboratory are very valid in terms of content (3.9), language (4.0), and media (4.0), from a maximum score of 4. From the readability test, all respondents obtained students understand the content or information presented in the chemical laboratory's occupational health and safety handbook. Furthermore, through the practicality test, it was obtained that lecturers, laboratory assistants, and students gave an assessment that the occupational safety and health handbook in the chemical laboratory each scored 4.0 and 3.9, which means it is very practical. This research concludes that the chemical laboratory's occupational safety and health guidebook as a guiding supplement for chemistry practicum is valid to be implemented from the aspect of content, language, media, and readability and is very practical in its use.
