Promoting Safety Culture in Romanian ...

Nowadays, numerous organizations in Romania are aiming to improve health, safety and wellbeing at work conditions. Certain companies, having given these conditions such a high level of priority that, beyond compliance with legislative requirements, are trying to create a culture of safety built into their corporate culture. Integration of occupational health and safety management at all levels is increasingly perceived as an effective way to develop a strong and sustainable safety culture, which is the best way to ensure compliance with legislative requirements and social expectations and as well to obtain economic benefits. The aim of the present article is to express in a systematic, coherent and pragmatic manner the meaning and interconnections of the three pillars that now are considered necessary to effectively implement safety management and occupational health processes in global economic performance conditions for Romanian organizations.
