Sažetak
Occupational safety expert is an adequately trained individual designated by the top management to perform occupational safety and health activities. Pursuant to the Occupational Safety and Health Act, the occupational safety expert provides professional guidance to the management, authorized persons, workers, and safety commissioners thus facilitating the implementation and promotion of occupational safety and health. In addition to this basic task, the occupational safety expert is entrusted with numerous other tasks. The importance and role of occupational safety and health and the role of occupational safety expert in the institutions of higher education is specific and has so far been under-valued, so this paper deals with the tasks and responsibilities of occupational safety experts in higher education. Training workers to work in a safe manner, particularly in jobs with specific working conditions, and other occupational safety tasks differ according to the business activity of the enterprise, and this holds true for the institutions of higher education. In conclusion, it can be said that taking care of employees' safety at work, we take care of their health and life, which is a fundamental right of every person, making the role of the occupational safety expert very important.
