Occupational Health and Safety in Workplaces

The Occupational Safety Management has been increasingly required in business and the importance of its related approach to productivity and competitiveness has been increasing. Influences inherent to an environment that provides security are increasingly studied and have significant results for companies that adopt a precautionary position, including behavioral aspects. In this respect, the occurrence of occupational accidents causes a significant impact on productivity levels. The use of PDCA for reducing accidents at work becomes an alternative to ensure effective action for the company, addressing the human interference in this process, as well as the positive results in the proactive instead of reactive indicators. This paper presents approaches to work systems with emphasis on competitiveness, cost reduction, continuous improvement linked to preventive actions related to safe behavior, risk perception and prevention education, using the PDCA.
