Abstract
The sociology of occupational safety is one of the newest areas in the discipline. Its status and the perspectives for further development depend on resolution of two basic sets of problems:
— it is necessary to respond to the fact that this particular sociology originated relatively late although the problems with which it deals are as old as human labor;
— it is necessary to exactly determine what should be the subject matter of study and its relationship to other sciences which deal with similar phenomena.
In order to further develop the sociology of occupational safety, it is necessary to accept the social character of man's position at work. Various forms of disturbances of man’s integrity in the work environment are social phenomena and as such should be the subject of social scientific research. The relatively high number of accidents at work in Yugoslavia increases the relevance of the need to develop a sociology of occupational safety.
