Basic Philosophy

The concept of Occupational Health and Safety has become increasingly important as a result of increased industrialization and the development of new technologies all over the world. The basic philosophy of Occupational Health and Safety is to reduce the number of work accidents and to provide a healthier work environment for employees. The most risky sectors in the world are designated as mining, agriculture, forestry and construction. Markets are classified as "Dangerous Classes of Occupational Health and Safety" issued by the Ministry of Labor and Social Security (ILO, 2004). When the risks are taken into consideration, marketing companies should perform risk analysis to ensure that hazards and problems will ocur. In this context, it is needed to provide and implement training on occupational health and safety regularly in order to protect against the identified risks. Periodic evaluations are performed at regular intervals that decrease in loss of life and property at marketing companies, both tangible as well as intangible losses will be reduced. Keywords: Markets, risk analyse, occupational health and safety.

Abstract According to the International Labour Organisation (ILO), health is defined as the promotion and maintenance of the highest degree of physical, mental and social well-being of workers in all occupations, while safety is freedom from unacceptable risk or harm. Occupational health and safety (OHS or OSH) is specifically concerned with the health, safety and welfare of people in their work environment, but it also encompasses any other people who may be present onsite, including customers, friends and family members, visitors and contractors. In addition it considers the fact that many horticultural properties have staff and owners who reside on the site.

The Right

This article examines occupational health and safety developments in Canada during the decade of the 1970s when most government jurisdictions replaced former factory Acts with new health and safety legislation recognizing the right of workers to be involved in work environment matters. During the latter part of the 1970s, health and safety “activists” and trade unionists began to perceive the need for a wider conception of occupational health and safety. Canadian reformers were influenced by Scandinavian developments, especially the research of Dr. Bertil Gardell and his associates. Unfortunately, during the late 1970s Canada experienced a recession and a political shift to conservatism. Consequently, during the 1980s there have been no meaningful workplace health and safety reforms. Further, the article suggests that there is strong resistance by management and government to extension of worker rights in occupational health and safety. All major political parties ground their work environment policies in utilitarian concepts that trade worker health and safety for economic considerations. The author, therefore, argues for the development of an “ethics of the work environment” based upon egalitarian principles, and the transformation of the primary work group into a community of workers who can shape the character of their work environment. Ideally, the relationship between the major “actors” in our industrial relations system ought to be based on obligation instead of the present language of worker protest based on rights. Nonetheless, there is a need to extend and deepen worker rights in the workplace. Finally, the author argues that the appropriate relationship in industry to reflect a democratic work environment is “partnership”–the coming together of the primary work groups as equals.

Brazil has a Federal Ergonomic Standard [1] enacted in 1990 that attracts the attention of practitioners in occupational health and safety fields because it is viewed symbolically as a political gain and because of its technical advances. The 1990 ergonomic standard modified a former one that was issued within a set of 28 occupational health and safety regulations established in 1978 [2]. This article focuses on the social and historical steps in a persistent workers' struggle for a healthier work environment in the late 1980s that resulted in this federal standard as a “command-and-control” regulation pioneering a wide tripartite process of policy-making in Brazil.

This study aims to see whether there is a relationship between the Physical Work Environment and Occupational Health and Safety in the Yellow Forces in Padang City, with a population of 283 people. The sampling technique used is a simple random sampling technique, namely the technique of taking sample members from the population carried out randomly regardless of the strata that exist within the population. The number of samples in this study were 62 people. from 0.314 to 0.908 and the reliability coefficient is 0.931. While the coefficient of validity on the occupational health and safety scale moves from 0.322 to 0.764 and the reliability coefficient is 0.942. Hypothesis test results show the magnitude of the reliability coefficient of 0.479 with a significant level of p = 0,000 meaning that it can be concluded that there is a significant relationship between the work environment and occupational health and safety, with a positive direction. This means that if the research has a high work environment then work health and safety will also be high. Likewise, if you have a low physical work environment, eating health and safety will also be low. The effective contribution Environment with of the Physical Work Occupational Health and Safety in the Yellow Forces in the City of Padang is 23%.

The article presents the possibility of using Visual Management (VM) – the one of tools of the Lean Management (LM) concept in the aspect of improving safety in the work environment. The implementation of visual management can become a more effective way of communication between participants of the work process. The implementation of visual information in the form of pictograms, instructions, charts, schedules, which will be understood by all employees – can translate into increased awareness in the field of occupational health and safety. The study presents the possibility of using various forms of visual management in three areas, i.e. safety in the production hall, safety in the workplace and OHS training.

Employee Effort

The role of occupational health and safety representatives is changing. A study in 60 Danish enterprises indicates that representation, and especially negotiation on behalf of colleagues, has diminished. The work environment is mainstreamed in many enterprises and is rarely an area of conflict. The role of OHS representatives has accordingly changed to focus on solving specific problems in the workplace as an integrated part of daily operations. Both management and colleagues consider the OHS representatives as a resource that can be utilized to manage the work environment. The consequences of this development for the employees may be a stronger joint management–employee effort to improve the work environment, but also management domination and an accordingly weaker employee voice in some companies.
