This paper presents an overview of asbestos production data worldwide and in the Republic of Croatia in the period 2000 to 2018 as well as the asbestos consumption data from 1995 to 2010. The results of asbestos waste collection from 1995 to 2018 have been analyzed and the experiences of the Republic of Croatia in the management of asbestos-containing waste have been described in accordance with the applicable national legislation. Although asbestos does not pose a risk if its products do not become damaged by fracture, or during transportation or decomposition, it poses a potential danger to human health. In today's world, every five minutes someone dies from a disease related to asbestos, such as asbestosis and cancer caused by asbestos. For these reasons, most countries adopted the obligation to execute a series of measures to stop using asbestos in 1999, while at the same time in the Republic of Croatia still imported about 4000 tonnes of asbestos per year. In 2006, the Republic of Croatia banned the production, transport, and use of asbestos, and the asbestos objects whose lifetime expired ended up in municipal waste, causing the need for special regulations in order to arrange the management of asbestos containing waste. Over the past ten years, the Republic of Croatia has developed an asbestos waste management system. Regardless of the success of its application, certain improvements are needed, as data on the amounts of reported construction waste, and thus the part containing asbestos, do not coincide with economic and other indicators for the construction sector.

Određena tijela u Europskoj uniji nastoje odrediti povezanost bolesti COVID-19 s radnim mjestom i/ili određenom gospodarskom djelatnošću. Veoma složeno (interdisciplinarno) pitanje i odnos je priznavanje (s aspekta zaštite zdravlja i sigurnosti na radu) COVID -19 profesionalnog podrijetla, kao: same profesionalne bolesti, samo ozljede na radu, ozljede na radu ili profesionalne bolesti (prema nacionalnim kriterijima pojedinih država) te bez točne (preciznije) odrednice radi li se o profesionalnoj bolesti ili ozljedi na radu, bez obzira što je „profesionalnog podrijetla“. Stavovi i rješenja u pojedinim državama članicama EU-a različita su. Pored zdravstvenih, i drugi radnici (u različitim djelatnostima) izloženi su riziku od zaraze SARS CoV-2 virusom i obolijevanju od COVID-19 bolesti (više ili manje rizične kategorije). U pitanju je profesionalni rad i visokorizične profesije prema epidemiološkim, kliničkim, anamnestičkim i posrednim dokazima. Bitna je profesionalna izloženost navedenom riziku. Dokazi moraju biti nedvojbeni i specifičniji od onih koji „dokumentiraju“ ozljedu na radu ili drugu bolest u vezi s radom (klinička manifestacija bolesti, laboratorijski, higijenski i drugi pregledi, ozbiljne komplikacije, specifični simptomi, trajanje simptoma, intenzitet i drugi dijagnostički postupci). Postupak je složen (po subjektima, radnicima i rokovima), a propisan je heterogenim normama države. Snagom svojeg organiziranja i postupanja, a u skladu s evidentnom situacijom u pandemiji bolesti COVID-19 odnosno SARS CoV-2 virusom, EU treba utvrditi jedinstvene („zajedničke“) kriterije za priznavanje COVID-19 bolesti profesionalnom bolešću. To je ujedno i sadržaj ovog rada.

Opasnost od epidemije zarazne bolesti COVID-19, Ministarstvo zdravstva proglasilo je u ožujku 2020. godine za cijelo područje Hrvatske. Rad u zdravstvu tijekom pandemije doveo je zdravstvene djelatnike u povećani stres i rizik od zaraze. Zdravstveni radnici tijekom pandemije moraju koristiti dodatnu osobnu zaštitnu opremu (OZO) kako bi se zaštitili. Cilj istraživanja bio je saznati stavove zdravstvenih djelatnika u primarnoj zdravstvenoj zaštiti o potrebi za dodatnom edukacijom o pravilnoj uporabi osobne zaštitne opreme. Istraživanje je provedeno od listopada 2020. do siječnja 2021. godine. Odgovori su prikupljeni on-line upitnikom. Obavijest o istraživanju poslana je zdravstvenim djelatnicima na e-mail putem stručnih društava u zdravstvu. Upitnik je ispunilo 184 zdravstvenih djelatnika. Najveća skupina ispitanika bili su liječnici (N=146; 79,3 %). Dodatne poslove zbog COVID-19 bolesti obavljalo je 110 (59,8 %) ispitanika. Među dodatne poslove naveli su rad na trijaži, dežurstva u COVID ambulantama, uzimanje briseva, pregled pacijenata s pozitivnim SARS-CoV-2 nalazom, telefonska dežurstva i informacije za pacijente te uzimanje epidemiološke anamneze kao i izricanje mjera samoizolacije. Edukaciju o osobnoj zaštitnoj opremi tijekom školovanja za sadašnje zanimanje imao je svega 71 ispitanik (38,6 %) od kojih je njih 27 odgovorilo da im je to stečeno znanje bilo dovoljno za siguran rad tijekom epidemije. Većina ispitanika (90 %) navodi da želi ići na dodatnu edukaciju o osobnoj zaštitnoj opremi. Na temelju rezultata može se zaključiti da je edukacija potrebna kako tijekom redovitog obrazovanja tako i kroz kontinuiranu medicinsku edukaciju putem stručnih društava.

Occupational Safety and Health are the two key components of employee efficiency in their workplace, and at the same time guaranteeing them can directly impact employee well-being and productivity for employers and their earnings. Obviously, legal definition and their protection fall under the State domain, respectively Institutions that are authorized to supervise the implementation of legislation by the employers. Having in consideration the facts that reports obtained from the labor field, particularly those of “Occupational Safety and Health” reflect the continuous challenges of majority of employees, it is understandable why there is a need for adequate legal regulation in this field at national and international level, including international standards (ILO Conventions), as well as the Treaties - EU Directives referring to the relevant field. In this context, an attempt was to elaborate on the nature and importance of these two components in the international level as well as the reflection they have within national legislation specifically the case of Kosovo in relation to ILO Conventions and with EU law, with EC Framework Directive no. 89/391 of 12 June 1989. The reasons for such elaboration lie in the fact of our society's aspirations to be part of the European Union, and the development of adequate legislation in this field as well as compatible with EU law, particularly after signing the Stabilization and Association Agreement (SAA) between Kosovo and the European Union (EU), where practically Kosovo has taken the legal and contractual obligation to approximate national legislation with the EU Acquis. The challenges in implementing national legislation as well as the increasing number of deaths and injuries in the workplace will be the focus of this study. In this context methods for practical harmonization will be analyzed and studied, as well as recommendations on how to act in specific areas so that workers are guaranteed dignity and above all, safety and health at their workplace.

For the individual and for society, human life and health are great values, which are often particularly difficult or impossible to measure, though they are irreplaceable values. Even in the oldest historical stages of the development and life of society, many important doctors and scientists were interested in the social aspects of health care, e.g. Hippocrates, Aristotle, Avicenna. Paracelsus († 1541, Swiss philosopher and physician) and Georgius Agricola († 1555, German chemist and mineralogist). Based on their own experience gained from daily contact with workers and their working environment, they examined disorders caused by the harmful factors of the working environment and working processes. The ever-changing world of work increasingly brings new risks into working processes, which are directly related to the work performed by employees. As part of the EU-OSHA (European Agency for Safety and Health at Work) strategy to increase health and safety at work, the European Risk Observatory called on EU Member States to improve the detection of these risks in the working environment. Considering the above, the authors of this article have set themselves the goal of mapping the current situation in the area of the creation, protection and quality management of the working environment. They describe general requirements for protecting occupational health and safety, mainly in Slovakia. They are convinced that current developments present the need to know as much as possible about the living and working environments, to have a thorough knowledge of working conditions and all the factors that affect the health of employees, to know and choose assessment procedures to reduce the negative effects of these factors to a minimum. It is important that we keep in mind that healthy working conditions are among the most valuable assets of individuals, communities and nations.

A small number of studies have examined the relationship between bone health and level of physical load. We explored the effect of occupational physical activity on skeletal status in younger sawmill workers using ultrasonic indices of bone density. In a cross-sectional study, we measured bone density with quantitative ultrasound (QUS) in 128 sawmill workers (89 men and 39 women), mean age 39.1 +/- 10.8 years. Back strength was measured by dynamometry. Information on occupational and leisure physical activity, joint pain, education and smoking were obtained with the questionnaire. All QUS bone parameters and back strength were significantly higher in men than in women. A T score for quantitative ultrasound index (QUI) of − 2.2 or lower was found only in two men and one women. QUI did not significantly differ based on presence of parameters of physical occupational activity (carrying loads exceeding 5 kg, repetitive movements, physical exertion while working and non-sitting position at work). When controlling for age, gender and body mass index, participants with higher smoking index had significantly lower QUI (p=0.004). Physical workload was not significantly associated with QUI. In our working population, some lifestyle habits, such as smoking, had a greater impact on bone health than physical occupational activity.

The performance of any management system needs to be monitored with adequate and proper indicators. This study aimed to identify, set priorities and assess key indicators for implementing an effective performance evaluation system. This descriptive-analytical study was carried out in three phase. In first phase, a semi-structured interview as well as a review of the company's documentation and studies carried out, then a set of key indicators were collected and selected. The validity of the indicators were determined by experts (N = 11) and indicators were prioritized using Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) according to SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time- bound) criteria. Following the study framework, a primary set of 60 Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) were collected. The results of the validity assessment showed 23 indicators had acceptable validity. The results of examining the relationships between the indicators showed that the percentage of corrected non- compliance and the number of risk assessments had a significant relationships with the total number of work-related lost time injuries as a lagging indicator. According to the results, the four the most important key performance indicators to assess the safety performance in the automotive industry were as follows: the number of risk assessments conducted, the percentage of corrected non- compliance, the percentage of safety educational programs implemented for workers, and Frequency Severity Index (FSI) index.

The validity of the indicators were determined by experts (N = 11) and indicators were prioritized using Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) according to SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time- bound) criteria.\u0000Following the study framework, a primary set of 60 Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) were collected. The results of the validity assessment showed 23 indicators had acceptable validity. The results of examining the relationships between the indicators showed that the percentage of corrected non- compliance and the number of risk assessments had a significant relationships with the total number of work-related lost time injuries as a lagging indicator.\u0000According to the results, the four the most important key performance indicators to assess the safety performance in the automotive industry were as follows: the number of risk assessments conducted, the percentage of corrected non- compliance, the percentage of safety educational programs implemented for workers, and Frequency Severity Index (FSI) index.","PeriodicalId":53654,"journal":{"name":"Sigurnost","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45607201","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
Predmet ovog rada je analiza mogućnosti daljnjeg oblikovanja nacionalne informacijske infrastrukture u području zaštite na radu. Temelji ove infrastrukture postavljeni su kroz početni razvoj informacijskog sustava zaštite na radu (IS ZNR) pod vodstvom Ministarstva rada, mirovinskog sustava, obitelji i socijalne politike. Analizom nacionalne zakonske regulative i EU smjernica u području zaštite na radu, mogućnosti primjene globalnih mrežnih usluga, uspješnih primjera razvoja nacionalnih informacijskih sustava u području javne uprave i zdravstva, stvoreni su temelji za spekulativni pristup analizi mogućnosti daljnjeg razvoja nacionalne informacijske infrastrukture u području zaštite na radu. Osmišljena je i prikazana ideja o predvidivom daljnjem razvoju i strukturi budućeg središnjeg nacionalnog informacijskog sustava zaštite na radu koji se oslanja na središnji registar podataka i resursa zaštite na radu (inicijalno nazvanom Data Collector) te na sve potrebne funkcionalnosti koje jamče sigurnost, sveprisutnost i longitudinalnost elektroničkih zapisa, a na temelju toga jamče i unapređenje zaštite na radu u Republici Hrvatskoj.

Promjenom uvjeta rada prouzročenom zarazom pandemijskih razmjera nametnuta je potreba usklađenja procjene rizika s obzirom na novonastalu situaciju. Razvoj bolesti ovisan je o broju osoba koje se istovremeno nalaze na mjestu rada. U tom pogledu najugroženija su ona radna mjesta i poslovi koji su dosadašnjim procjenama rizika svrstani u kategoriju poslova s malim rizikom, ali pojavom koronavirusa razina rizika znatno se povećala uz pojavu bolesti sa smrtnim ishodom. Iz tih razloga nameće se obveza procjenjivanja rizika uredskog poslovanja, naročito u „kontakt-centrima“ gdje se na istom mjestu istodobno nalazi veći broj radnika. U radu je prikazan metodološki način procjene rizika na primjeru rada „kontakt-centra“ s težištem na biološke štetnosti te plan mjera koji je potrebno provesti kako bi se smanjila razina rizika.
