Culture Of Prevention

Occupational injuries and diseases associated with industrial production have dropped significantly following scientific and technological advances, such as engineering controls, protective equipment, safe machinery and procedures, and greater adherence to regulations and personnel inspections. Although the introduction of health and safety management systems has also dramatically reduced the incidence of injuries and illnesses, these programs do not work unless they are in line with the workplace safety culture. Work characteristics in the 21st century presented new issues related to employee health, such as new types of work-related disorders, uncontrollable illnesses, and inequalities in access to occupational health services. Overcoming these new and emerging challenges requires a culture of prevention at the national level. The present paper addresses: how to transform safety culture in all theory and practice at the workplace level; and the role of the prevention culture at the national level.
