Abstract
In successful implementation of regulations governing occupational safety and health at work, it is essential to ensure a great degree of cooperation of all participants in the process including the employer, employees, occupational safety service and occupational medicine specialists. The paper gives an account of examples of good practise in protecting the workers handling dangerous substances in two companies, LUSH manufaktura d.o.o. and Genera d.d. In their efforts to implement and improve safety in handling dangerous substances, both companies opt for the recommended pyramidal approach, meaning that they primarily implement organisational and technical measures to reduce the exposure of workers to dangerous substances. In this, exchange of information among all participants is the key factor for improvements, which also helps to identify problems in risk assessment for different work places and supplements inadequate toxicology data on the technical lists that accompany dangerous substances.
