Abstract

Nowadays, there are increasing discussions concerning an extensive area of occupational safety and health, whether is it within the territory of the Slovak Republic or in other Member States of the European Union. Every organization prepares independently its own policy of occupational safety and health using applicable legislation. The objective of this work was to minimize the errors resulting not only from the human factor but also from incorrect working procedures, from failing to observe legal requirements, and from an incorrect use of personal protective equipment. After evaluating the risk level in working activities of employees on site, we have proposed measures to reduce the risk by means of defining correct working procedures and using personal protective equipment. That enables reducing occupational injuries, which will directly improve the overall level of occupational safety and health on a selected site.
