Abstract:

The main purpose of the study is to identify the most important aspects for the respondents related to security in the workplace. We also analyze reasons for which the same security enhancement measures are effective at one enterprise and do not have the intended effect at another enterprise. In other words, we set ourselves the task to identify and draw the "safety criteria" for a safety culture that can help employers reduce the costs related to occupational injuries, and, most importantly, to preserve the health and life of staff.
