OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY MANAGEMENT IN SELECTED LOGISTICS SYSTEMS

Actions being performed in logistic processes may be hazardous for employees' health and lives, especially due to the fact that most of them make use of all kinds of means of technical infrastructure. Our paper reviews accidents at work in some selected logistic systems in order to identify actions, deviations from the normal work flow and injury-causing events, as well as to determine reasons for accidents with special attention being paid to the ones that result from errors or shortages in the work safety management system. Our research results can be useful for managers to assess the way their work health and safety management systems operate, and to properly target preventive measures they should take.
