Every worker has the right to work and to have a safe and healthy work environment. Safe work is in the worker’s interest and represents an obligation to the employer. The consequences of an accident at work results in unnecessary suffering for the worker who was the victim and for his relatives, but they also burden the employer, the health insurance company, and sometimes even the pension fund. Safety at work can be understood as a necessary condition to provide working conditions without danger of accidents. To ensure health and safety at work the employer is obliged to implement at least the measures prescribed by the law.
The objective of my dissertation is to present the field of health and safety at work in the terms of dealing with adverse events in a foreign-owned food company with more than 600 employees. At the beginning of 2022 company adopted a new standard for treatment and analysis of adverse events regarding safety and health at work. I intend to compare the newly established practice with the requirements of Slovenian legislation and highlight details of standardized methods required for the adverse events’ analysis. The application of the new standard will be presented with a practical example. Based on past data, the quantitative comparison will be made to find if a more detailed analysis contributes to reducing the number of adverse events and prevents the recurrence of the same adverse events.
