Improving the Functioning Efficiency of the Labor Protection System

Abstract

Problematic issues of labor protection in Ukraine, which are primarily related to the ineffectiveness the system of management of occupational safety and the high level of occupational injuries in comparison with other countries, are particular importance and at the present stage require systematic study. The approaches to increasing the effectiveness of the SOUP that are proposed are based on the mathematical modeling of the "labor protection" system and the risk-oriented approach. To construct the mathematical model of the "labor protection system" it have been formed the set of indicators, which are characterizing the inputs of the external environment, the internal state of the system and its initial characteristics. The basic generalized indicators that describing each subsystem of the "labor protection system" were determined and the level of influence of each subsystem as well as their joint influence on the effectiveness of the functioning of the "labor protection" system were estimated. The assessment of the "labor protection" system was carried out according to the indicators of occupational injuries. The results, that were obtained, make it possible to unify and regulate the procedure for the development of scientifically grounded management decisions aimed at increasing the effectiveness of the functioning of the "labor protection" system at the sectoral and national levels.
