Optimizing the Management of the Occupational Safety and Health System in "Arcelormittal" Prijedor on the Basis of Performance Indicators

Reports on the incidence of accidents at work in Romania show that there is poor management of injury risks, and the component called management has a defining role, which is why performance indicators can be used to increase performance in occupational OSH (occupational safety and health) management and implicitly contribute to reduce the number of accidents and occupational diseases. The paper is a review that aims to perform an analysis of key performance indicators (KPIs) given the relevance of the indicators used in the field of OSH. The first part includes the current use of these indicators and a summary of their effectiveness in the field, which presents lagging performance indicators applicable to OSH, which can measure the results of activities carried out and leading indicators, which are proactive, preventive and predictive, to provide information about the performance of the management system in the field. In the second part, using the survey method for which the research tool is a questionnaire with 10 items, an analysis is performed to test the relationship between the two types of performance indicators. Finally, the results obtained highlighted the existence of direct correlations between the types of selected indicators, but also the existence of limits on their use.

This study investigated the client's duty and role to prevent construction accidents by participating construction client into the occupational safety and health management system. Since the fatal accidents of the construction sites in Korea are higher than other OECD countries and approximately 500 workers annually have died on construction sites, various efforts have been performed to prevent construction accidents. Recently, in Korea, the client’s participation in the safety and health management system has been focused as a fundamental method to prevent serious accidents. To examine the necessity of client’s participation, the survey was performed for construction participants. And, survey results and existing studies about client's role were analyzed to assign responsibility and role to the client. Results showed that safety managers and supervisors were strongly agreed for imposing client's duty (average scores of 4.373 and 4.107 in likert 5point scale) while clients showed the lowest agreement (average score of 3.153). In addition, the detailed role was proposed in the whole project stage, that is plan, design, and construction stage. Client can be a key player in reducing the fatal construction accidents by doing the accurate roles proposed in this study.
