Journal Title: Robotica & Management - Year 2017, Vol 22, Issue 2
Abstract
One of the most important aspects regarding human resource management in any organization should be the one concerning the safety and security at work of the employees. Unfortunately, this remains an insufficiently discussed issue, not only in literature, but also in practice. Articles in this field are not so numerous, while official reports indicate a high number of incidents that occur every year, in every country. The enterprises should focus much more on this aspect, but in many cases, the management lacks from this point of view, the policy regarding the safety and health of employees being kept at the lowest positions on the list of aspects that need immediate attention. The present paper tries to highlight the importance of the issue of safety and security at work, the first part consisting in a brief review of the literature in this field, while the second part presents statistical data available for the past years, both in Romania and Europe, regarding this problem.
