A literature review on global occupational safety and health practice & accidents severity
This literature review focuses on researches undertaken since 1980s onwards. The purpose
of the study is to identify existing gaps on workplace safety and health management and propose
future research areas. The review adds value to existing electronic database through integration
of researches' results. To identify existing gaps, a systematic literature review approach has been
used. The reviews were undertaken through keywords and safety related topics. In the literature,
various characteristics of workplace safety and health problems were found emanating from the
lack of operational activities of the employees, internal working environment and external
and peripheral industries to protect workplace safety hazards to develop multilevel model has
been undermined in many researches. Jilcha & Kitaw (2016) International Journal for Quality
Safety Science, like its predecessor, the Journal of Occupational Accidents, serves as an
international medium for research in the science and technology of human safety. It extends from
safety of people at work to other spheres, such as transport, leisure and home, as well as every
other field of man's hazardous activities. Safety Science is multidisciplinary. Its contributors and
its audience range from psychologists to chemical engineers. The journal covers the physics and
engineering of safety; its social, policy and organisational aspects; the management of risks; the
costing aspects and the like.Safety Science will enable academic researchers, engineers and
decision makers in companies, government agencies and international bodies, to augment their
information level on the latest trends in the field, from policy makers and management scientists

Safeguarding and maintaining health & safety in the workplace is an important prerequisite
for motivated and productive working processes, both for employers and employees. The new
ISO 45001 standard for occupational health & safety management will supersede OHSAS
18001, the previous standard for occupational health & safety, and will minimize the risk of
By following a systematic standard for your occupational health & safety protection
according to ISO 45001, sources of errors and risks can be identified and eliminated or
minimized. By means of certification of your occupational protection management you will thus
significantly reduce the number of occupational accidents, regardless of your industry or the size
of your company, and you will simultaneously fulfil legal and official requirements. You will
therefore not only increase the confidence of your employees, you will also reinforce your
positive reputation with clients, business partners and the authorities. This creates a valuable
competitive advantage for you. TÜV Rheinland (2019) Occupational health & safety ISO 45001
This chapter promotes the idea that the overarching role of a safety professional is that of a
culture change agent. The case will be made that every proposal made by a safety professional
organization’s culture – a modification in a way things get done, a modification in the system of
expected performance. Thus, the primary role of a safety professional is that of a culture change
agent. Manuele (2006) Advanced Safety Management: Focusing on Z10 and Serious Injury

There is a rich literature on the role that precarious work situations (including subcontracting and
temporary labour) play in health disparities, but research on occupational health outcomes and
work arrangements in horticulture is limited, and few studies in the wider literature have
explored whether these arrangements affect hazardous substance exposures. This study assists in
filling this gap by describing how work arrangements, particularly subcontracting and temporary
employment, are associated with factors related to pesticide exposure and to worker perceptions
of pesticide exposure in two countries with similar regulatory regimes: Australia and the United
Kingdom. Data are drawn from 67 semi-structured interviews with horticultural fieldworkers,
employers, labour providers, and industry, union and government representatives. The regulatory
frameworks were compared and real or perceived impacts of regulations on occupational health
and safety (OHS) outcomes were examined. Bambford A. (2015) The influence of work
arrangements on occupational health and safety: a study of Australian and United Kingdom
Safety impacts on the lives of every person, every day, at home, travelling to work, at work
and in recreation. Unfortunately, at times when safety breaks down people get injured and
sometimes are killed. Work is an all too common place where these break downs occur. Every
year in Australia, hundreds of people die at work and many more are permanently disabled; their
lives and the lives of those around them will never be the same again. There have been many
approaches by state and federal governments, unions and organisations to try and reduce this
avoidable financial and moral cost to both society and workers alike. There are acts and
regulations in every state with strict rules and harsh penalties for non-compliance. There are
thousands of pages of associated codes of practice, guidelines and standards that support these
legal requirements. Unions have worked hard for many years to push occupational health and
procedures, policies and standards themselves recognising the huge financial and legal exposure
of poor safety. There has been many days of safety training both internally and externally
provided to thousands of employees, which continues every day. Safety leadership has been
driven through many large organisations to ensure management and employees alike understand
the importance and reason for safety. Verhagen C. (2014) Achieving best practice in OHS:

The findings provide a description of the process of how an integrated safety management
system is implemented and reports results such as the following. The two leading companies
apparently share many common practices, elements, and success factors. They include safety
instruction, documentations, records, etc.), and use of external influences (e.g. safety audits by

Systems 18000 and subsequently to ISO 26000. Building a strong safety culture should be
considered as the foundation, while relying on regulatory compliance and enforcement alone is
not adequate. Phusavat, Vongvitayapirom, Kess & Lin, (2017) "Safety management system in

Evaluating project proposals with respect to safety and reliability objectives is extremely
complex. Several tangible as well as intangible factors need to be considered. Also, most often
these factors are difficult to measure objectively because of their nature and the lack of factual
data and information. In addition, they involve uncertainties and risk. The project managers need
to enumerate systematically all potential risk factors affecting the safety and reliability objectives
of the project, determine the consequences and the impact of their severity, assess the likelihood
of the occurrence of these consequences, and select the best course of action to contain and
control risks in order to meet the specified project objectives. Develops such a framework by
integrating system hazard analysis with the core elements of the risk management process (RMP)
to assess potential risks and to evaluate response actions to control and manage the identified
risks to satisfy the predetermined safety and reliability objectives. V.M. Rao Tummala, Y.H.
